Casablanca Valley boutique Winery Tour
We'll leave Santiago around 9 am and take a pretty , 75 mins drive to the Casablanca Valley, previously famous mainly for its' whites but now producing increasingly amazing reds as well. We'll avoid the large, commercial, touristy producers and concentrate exclusively on boutique wineries with - it goes without saying - fantastic wines and a special, intimate vibe.

A lunch stop is not included in the schedule or price but can be arranged if all participants are up for it (from an empanada to a sit-down lunch) and if planned in advance. My aim is for the trip to be laid back, entertaining and informative, hopefully as if travelling with a friend. I speak native-level English, French and Spanish. Please note that due to some wineries still being closed to tourism because to the pandemic (or in some cases just on certains days), I ENCOURAGE INQUIRIES BEFORE GUESTS ACTUALLY BOOK, TO GIVE ME TIME TO CHECK WINERY AVAILABILITY BEFOREHAND and avoid having to reschedule in the event of unavailability on any given day. In principle the experience is limited to 3 guests for comfort reasons but larger groups (traveling together) can be accomodated. Please contact me with any doubts for for further information!

The memory of political violence
First, we will get together at the exit of Metro Cumming. We will introduce ourselves to each other and share how much everyone knows about the topic. Not knowing anything about political repression is not an impediment; on the contrary, it is the sole purpose of this "experience". A parish that is three blocks away is our first stop. From here the political police abducted the Number 2 in the structure of MIR (Revolutionary Left Movement). The way this case was handled by the MIR, and its propaganda apparatus in exile will be discussed while we walk the short eight blocks to the memorial of the last leader of MIR assassinated during the dictatorship. At this site I will retell the transformation within the MIR, especially about the use of violence, its divisions and collapse. While I prompt the comparison with other political and military groups such as the IRA or ETA we will be walking three short blocks to the historic "Photographers´Square" in the Concha y Toro patrimonial blocks. Here, while sharing how the square got its name I Will offer you to take a short stroll to the Cultural Center where i live so we can have a refreshment and converse about the topic and share some of the reflections you might have. Other things to note That prior knowledge of Chilean history is not needed. That the sole purpose of this "experience" is to put political violence into perspective. Sharing of personal experiences is encouraged.
