★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,040 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $240Our pick

Review of Mendoza’s small-group luxury wine tour, with premium tastings, gourmet lunch, mountain views, guides, transport, and value advice.

“This experience, provided by Tout and Wine, was spectacular. We visited three wineries where tastings and tours were provided. At our last winery, we were treated to a wonderful gourmet lunch that impressed all. Our guide Monserrat and driver were very kind and accommodating. We also appreciated the ability to purchase wine from the different wineries, create a custom box, and ship back to our address in the states. Would recommend to all.”

2.Tour Aconcagua Park in Small Group from Mendoza with Barbecue Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 388 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $180

Review of Mendoza’s Aconcagua Park tour: Andean scenery, easy hike, Puente del Inca, Argentine barbecue, wine, and practical tips.

“Way too much time in the car. After a while, the scenery all looked alike. Our guide was terrible. He offered no information about the region or the sights we were seeing. He much preferred to talk with the driver or fall asleep. When we got to Aconcagua Park, he ran ahead of us, making us feel that we should hurry up because he had more important things to do after the trip. He didn’t offer to take our pictures unless we asked, offered no information unless we asked. I would not recommend this trip to anyone.”

3.Tigre Delta with Navigation & Optional Lunch in Puerto Madero

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 347 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $53Best value

Review of the Tigre Delta tour from Buenos Aires, with San Isidro, a one-hour boat cruise, optional Puerto Madero lunch, and practical tips.

“My wife and I had an extra day in BA before heading home, and decided to take the half-day tour on the Tigre Delta. Even though the reviews looked all positive, I was not setting high expectations. However I have to say, both my wife and I fully enjoyed this tour! The driving tour up to the Delta was fun and informative. The Delta cruise was amazing! To see how these people live out there on the Delta, the houses / villas, the abandoned ships rusting away, ... all of it, was worth a repeat. We highly recommend it.”

Escape Buenos Aires for a small-group wine tour at Bodega Gamboa, with vineyard walks, Argentine wines, and a leisurely multi-course lunch.

“I loved this tour; it was great. Learned a lot about Argentine wine, especially since I didn’t have time to go to Mendoza. (I’m sorry, I forgot her name. She’s an employee of the winery.) I was the only one who would need English interpretation, but I understand a lot of Spanish just don’t speak it well. So we agreed that she’d interpret for me if I asked whenever I didn’t understand, which she did. They accommodated my vegetarian diet and made sure I had a great time which I did. Transport was convenient and good.”

Compare Mendoza’s historic Trapiche winery with Casa Vigil’s Michelin-style lunch, tastings, and private transport in this practical tour review.

“O transporte foi particular e muito ágil no deslocamento entre a nossa hospedagem, a vinícola Trapiche e a vinícola "El enemigo" (Casa Vigil). Relativo as vinícolas, na Trapiche houve uma visita guiada pelo local e terminamos com a degustação de 4 rótulos, sendo dois brancos e dois tintos. No "El enemigo" (Casa Vigil), a experiência foi voltada 100% para o almoço, que foi excelente. O menu era de 3 tempos e tinha vinho a vontade, podendo escolher qualquer um dos rótulos do El Enemigo entre Chardonnay, Carbernet Franc e Malbec. Consideramos que os pratos foram bem servidos e escolhemos esse local por conta de um comentário aqui que dizia justamente…”
