Viña Santa Rita
Maipo Valley, Chile
- No.41 The World's 50 Best Vineyards 2025
Get whisked through Viña Santa Rita's vineyards on a horse‑drawn carriage, or propel yourself by pedal bar. Either way, a little assistance traversing the vivid 40‑hectare estate is helpful if you're to catch the Renaissance flair of the Centenary Gardens, the Neo‑Gothic chapel, the Roman baths and the 3,000‑odd cultural exhibits of the Museo Andino before lunch. The meal itself is served with a slice of history at the Doña Paula restaurant, built to shelter independence soldiers in 1818 and now named after one of the country's most exalted patriots. Recover in the original manor house – now the 16‑bedroom boutique Hotel Casa Real – squeezing in poolside drinks or a game of billiards before dinner.
