I was the only person for the English tour so I had a private one. Tried many different wines on different stages of production and different types. Highly recommended
It is a well-established and organized family winery. The guide Antonella stood out for being very educational, detailed in her explanations, and extremely professional. The wines, especially those at the end, are very, very good. Highly recommended visit.
We liked the experience because the explanation was very detailed and interesting. Cecilia was the winemaker in charge and was very friendly to everyone and throughout the visit there was no shortage of good humor.
This wine tour was a little disappointing compared to others we did in the area. While we did get some insight into the winemaking process, it didn’t feel as in-depth or engaging — especially as we had just come from a tour led by a winemaker, which really set a high standard. The guide was involved in the process, but the level of detail and overall delivery didn’t quite match what we were hoping for. As it’s a smaller winery, the experience felt a bit more limited, and unfortunately we didn’t particularly enjoy the wines either. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but it didn’t stand out and didn’t feel especially well suited for those looking for a more informative or polished wine tour.
We were attended by Cecilia who made us immersed in the fascinating world of wine and the history of this pinera family in the hands of Juanita, we sat at her table and everything was very magical. Thank you very much, we took ub piece of Mendoza in our trcuerdos.
Very nice place and attention of all staff. We arrived a few minutes early and were treated to a welcome drink. While we waited for the guided tour we were offered to pass the garden, a warm place with games and entertainment.
Excellent experience, the guide Cecilia very friendly, we leave very happy!
We through enjoyed this tour and the guide was excellent (sorry can’t remember his name, spoke really good English) Went into enough detail and any questions asked by the group he answered with great detail. He certainly knew his stuff. I wish we knew about the lunch beforehand as we would have done too. Would recommend and you don’t have to travel miles from Mendoza. Thank you for a great informative afternoon.
Good explanation and tasting. However, for a more complete experience the tour of the crops is necessary.
¡Buenísimo! ¡Maravilloso! This tour was the best! And that's thanks to Antonela, who went out of her way to be hospitable as we waited for our tour to begin and did an absolutely amazing job leading our tour in English. First, she taught us how to look at, smell, and taste a wine. Then she explained things we had never heard about the wine- making process and gave us samples of malbec wines at different stages - in the tank, from the barrel, and then after aging in the bottle. Wow!
