Review of Mendoza’s private Uco Valley wine tour, with Alfa Crux, Claroscuro, lunch, transport, value, and booking advice.
“The guide did not show up, was not answering the phone and in 1,5hours texted they had a problem with a car and were ready to go 2 hours after the initial start date. Then it appeared that the agency works predominantly with Brazilian tourists and there is nobody in the team who speaks English, so they sent a girl who was not a guide and who actually hardly spoke English. They never agreed with us the agenda although it was supposed to have been done in advance. And instead of good wineries took us to two popular places. Second - with really poor wine. Only during the tour it…”
Review of Mendoza’s private Uco Valley wine tour, with three wineries, gourmet lunch, Andes views, transport, pricing, and practical booking advice.
“Esse passeio é imperdível para quem gosta de vinícolas boutique. É quase exclusivo, cinco a seis pessoas somente. Vinhos incríveis que não chegam ao Brasil, todos reserva e grand reserva. Aprendemos muito na vinícola Corazon del Sol e bodega Piedra Negra e almoço na bodega Bousquet. Vale muito a pena.”
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…”

Explore three Luján de Cuyo wineries, enjoy included tastings and lunch, and travel privately from Mendoza in a seven-hour wine tour.
“It was a nice way to see some different wineries without worrying about transport. The first two were really nice and the third where we ate was OK. The food wasn’t great, especially for a vegetarian, and the wine wasn’t my favorite. It was by far the fanciest but maybe I prefer smaller vineyards. It would have been nice if the driver talked a bit about the city or wine on the way. It was less guide more driver but he was very nice.”
Review of Mendoza’s private Uco Valley wine tour, with Enzo Bianchi, Familia Zaina, local lunch, private transport, value, and booking tips.
“This Mendoza wine tour was exceptional. The first winery featured vast vineyards, a diverse range of wines, and an insightful look into production, followed by a rich tasting experience. The second, a boutique winery, showcased its exclusive, limited-production Taro collection—renewed each year—for a truly unique experience.”

“Marco was a wonderful teacher! He made the whole experience fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend him for your next fishing adventure!”
Explore Salentein’s mountain views and wine tasting, then enjoy a generous paired lunch at La Azul with private transport from Mendoza.
“The modern architecture of Salentein is rather unique, but the visit with tasting was rather common, nothing special. The bar was closed and we couldn’t taste other rotules. The lunch was fine, but the wines were nothing special.”
Taste Malbec in Luján de Cuyo on a private Mendoza tour with three wineries, bilingual guiding, and a five-course lunch at Norton.
“En utmärkt utflykt med mycket kunnig guide och en fantastiskt god och trevlig lunch. Men jag saknade åtminstone ett riktigt bra 'kanonvin'. Generellt var vinerna bra men ganska alldagliga, inga riktiga höjdare eller överraskningar. En trevlig utflykt för turisten men inget för en vinkännare.”
Every kind of Argentine day, and the best of each.
