The Chilean wine routes (Spanish: Rutas del vino chileno) are a group of scenic routes along the wine-producing regions of Chile.[1][2] A great part of them is located in the central part of the country (Valle Central).[3] The first route was created in 1996 in Santa Cruz and they currently have support from the state, Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Works, integrating parts of the Chilean Scenic Routes Programme.

According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Chile has the fifth-highest wine production worldwide and the highest in the Southern Hemisphere.[4] Chilean wine, one of the best known exports of the country around the world, has become a potential enotourist attraction, increasing to the revenue generated by tourism in Chile.

Out of a total of 339 active wine cellars in the country, only 78 of them had touristic activity on a regular basis in 2013, which represents 23%. Valle del Maipo has the most vineyards open to tourists with a total of 23, followed by Valle de Colchagua, with a total of 14 and Valle de Casablanca, with a total of 12. Paid tourist visits registered during 2013 reached 533,499 visitors.[5]

In 2015, the American website specialized in travel and tourism, Fodor's, ranked Chilean wine routes among the 11 best destinations in the world to celebrate a honeymoon.[6]
