Handmade Paper and Wine Tasting in San Antonio Valley
09:00 - Pickup in Santiago
- Meet your driver and local guide at your accommodation in Santiago. Begin your day with a scenic transfer of approximately 1.5 hours toward the rolling hills and coastal breezes of the San Antonio Valley.
10:30 - Handmade Paper Workshop "Inventando Papeles" - 4 Hours
- Arrive at "Inventando Papeles," a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the valley - a small family-run project dedicated to the art of papermaking.
Under the attentive guidance of a master artisan, immerse yourself in the meditative process of crafting your own sheets of paper.
Learn the delicate technique of cutting, soaking, and grinding raw materials - eucalyptus leaves, rosemary sprigs, calendula petals, lavender flowers, fox tail fibers, and native herbs - all blended with water and plant-based glue to form a pulpy canvas.
Watch as textures emerge: thick and thin, white and colored, speckled with seeds and blossoms. Each sheet tells a story, destined to become part of an artist's palette, a jeweler's creation, or a wedding celebration.
Take time to explore the different styles, touch their surfaces, and feel the quiet poetry each piece holds.

Each visit unveils the meticulous craftsmanship behind Chile's celebrated wines, from vine to bottle.
17:00 - Return to Santiago
- Arrive back at your hotel between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., enriched by a day of creativity, flavor, and sensory discovery.
