A stone wall of Inca influence and a sculpture by Jose Vicente Gajardo mark the entrance. There are 3 separate sectors. Two of them exhibit the permanent collection and the third is used for temporary exhibitions, mainly of contemporary art. The permanent exhibition offers a visit through Chile's Pre-Columbian cultures, starting in Arica, continuing through Atacama, the Diaguita territories, the Pre-Columbian expressions of Central Chile, the Mapuche culture and finally the fusion of cultures that represent the Chilean “Huaso”, the typical country man in Chile. In addition, there is a precious collection from the Rapa Nui culture of Easter Island as well as a selection of American Pre-Columbian textiles and gold objects.
The house that is known as “Doña Paula ́s” was born at the end of the 18th century as part of the Paine Farm, where Doña Paula Jaraquemada lived.

Today, the house is a national monument and has been restored to hold the Doña Paula Restaurant. It is built in a colonial style with Cusqueño paintings hanging from the white walls, high bamboo ceilings, wooden beams and various objects from that time; all in a natural environment overlooking the vineyards. There is a beautiful inside patio with a monastic- inspired garden. The restaurant offers a menu of high-level gastronomy making it a landmark among Chilean wineries. It has a capacity of 120 and the menu includes Chilean and International dishes that can be combined with the best Santa Rita wines.

The imposing 40-hectare park was designed by the distinguished French landscape architect Guillermo Renner. He built various urban parks and gardens in Central Chile between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
It is characterized by wide, shaded, circular paths surrounded by spacious lawns, woods and orchards that connect the park to the old farmhouse.
Nowadays it is meticulously worked by a team of gardeners who take extra care in preserving the natural beauty of this national heritage. The mix of styles - Italian, French and English - combines perfectly with the trees that are over a century-old, among which cedars, monkey- puzzle trees, Chilean palm-trees, oak trees, cork oaks and jacarandas can be distinguished.

To one side of the family mansion, in the countryside, surrounded by hills and a typically Chilean landscape behind vines and cellars, you will find the Santa Rita chapel in Alto Jahuel. It was designed in 1885 by the German architect Teodoro Burchard. It took four years to build the Neo-gothic style chapel and was a gift from Don Domingo to one of his daughters when she got married.
Although time has passed, it still reflects its entire splendor thanks to the extended restoration work done by Viña Santa Rita. Aware of its historical value, the primordial aim was to save and preserve this important national monument.
