Santiago de Chile
Walking tours of Santiago, wine tours to the valleys and Chilean wine tastings — with Tatiana Ivanova, historian, professional sommelier and Catad'Or competition judge.
About me
Hello! My name is Tatiana Ivanova. I am a guide, professional sommelier, wine expert and judge at the Catad'Or international wine competition.
I have lived in Chile since 2016 and know the country from the two sides that matter most to me: its history and its wine. Trained as a historian in Russia, I continued my studies here in Santiago, both in history and in winemaking.
After numerous wine education programs — including at the Pontificia Universidad Católica and sommelier school — and years of hands-on experience, I have studied the history and winemaking of Chile in depth.
Join me on my tours, wine trips and tastings to discover the history, culture and wine heritage of Chile together.
Tours & tastings
Every program is designed individually, for you or your small group.
On a walking tour of downtown Santiago we visit the main landmarks of the Chilean capital: Santa Lucía hill, Plaza de Armas, La Moneda presidential palace, the Lastarria neighborhood and much more. Every route is designed individually for your group, with optional visits to museums and galleries.
Private wine tours from Santiago: winery visits and tastings. The closest regions — the Maipo, Casablanca and Aconcagua valleys — make a comfortable day trip. For more distant regions, plan a trip of several days. Each tour is built around your interests, schedule and preferences.
Discover the world of Chilean wine without leaving the city. My tastings are an educational experience: the history of Chilean winemaking, the main valleys, grape varieties and the character of the terroir. You don't need to be a wine lover — curiosity, good conversation and discovering Chile's culture through wine are what matter.
Tastings
Each ready-made tasting includes 4 wines in the price.
With my help, design your own Chilean wine tasting — choosing wines according to your interests and preferences, without the budget limits of the ready-made programs.

Useful tips
Santiago is one of the more expensive cities in Chile and South America, especially for restaurants, hotels, taxis and tourist services. Check prices in advance and allow some extra budget.
In tourist areas, avoid showing off expensive phones, cameras or jewelry, keep your bag with you and never leave things unattended.
Service in Chile is often slower and less formal than many visitors from Europe or North America expect. It isn't rudeness — it's simply a different service culture.
