Full Steam Ahead! Chilean Vineyards by Train (gringoes.com): "Chilean wine has gained much notoriety and many awards over the last ten to fifteen years, and today Chile ranks fifth among the wine exporting countries. But for visitors to the Central Valley region, near Santiago, it offers something even better - a lazy ride through lush vineyards on a coal-burning locomotive from 1913. Tren del Vino (the Wine Train), a joint governmental and private sector venture, has been travelling the Cochagua Valley circuit since 1996. Its various programs combine wine-tasting, vineyard tours and cultural attractions."
The authrod describes the day tour, complete with food and wine tastings at the Santa Cruz Vineyard, plus recommendations for places to stay and eat in Santiago.
