When we decided to go to Mendoza, we were looking for a memorable experience since it's unlikely we will make it back. A private tour was a must in my opinion so that we could relax and fully enjoy the day without distractions. Our guide, Ricardo, met us at the hotel right on time and we set off on our amazing tour. This tour not only includes wine...I missed the mountain part when I booked this, and that was really one of the most wonderful aspects of this tour. Ricardo and our driver took a majestically scenic route to reach our first winery. We first saw the Embalse Potrerillos and then headed into the mountains. It was a cloudy day, and I was worried that we wouldn't see anything, but we got above the clouds and WHAT A VIEW!! After the ride through the mountains, we made our way to Atamisque bodega and had a tour and tasting. Our guide was wonderful and the wine was fantastic. Lunch was at Andeluna and we had superb food and a bit too much wine (but that's what it's about) and then made our way back to Mendoza. Ricardo was wonderful and provided us with an overview of the history of wine in the region and much more about the culture, history, and geography of the region and Argentina. He knows A LOT and he could answer pretty much any question with a thoughtful and thorough reply. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Keep in mind that wineries may change based on the itinerary and perhaps time of year. We were there at the beginning of winter, not ideal timing, but nonetheless this tour gave us the full experience we were looking for. Thank you Ricardo and Trout & Wine!!
Trout & Wine w/ Ricardo as our guide was beyond phenomenal! You will regret it if you don’t do the Mountain & Wine Tour!
Thank you Michelle. I'm glad you had such a good time. Yes, on this tour we go to Uco Valley through the mountains in a SUV. It's unique and special. Safe travels !
Agostina was the best guide, friendly and personable! Ovaldo drove us to 3 different vineyards. Each vineyard provided us with (heavy) pours of wine, and snacks. The last venue had a wonderful lunch prepared. Definitely would do this tour again. Worth a whole lot more than the price imo. Thanks Trout & Wine!
Thank you Caitlin. We try our best!
A fantastic experience. The tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We would recommend this to couples
Thank you Melissa. Im delighted you enjoyed the tour. Cheers from Mendoza
This was a full day excursion where we went up into the mountains and shown the beauty of the Uco Valley, followed by a visit to two wineries, the second one of which provided an outstanding lunch. Very special thanks to Felipe who was an outstanding guide, extremely knowledgeable and by the end of the day he had helped us fall completely in love with the region.
Thank you Suzanne. I'm glad you had such a good time. This tour is indeed special. Happy travels!
We were looking for a small local winery experience and Victor found three perfect places. His own level of knowledge about the region and wine was excellent as well. Our lunch was off the charts! Really good experience. Thank you.
Thank you Alan. I'm glad we met your expectations. Happy travels!
The tour was excellent! Guide Valeria and driver Walter made the ride an excellent time! I highly recommend it!
Muchas gracias Walter!
Luxury experience!! We did the private day tour of Luján de Cuyo. Ricardo our guide, along with the driver behaved excellent, treated us like kings!! And the most important thing was super-punctual. We visited 4 wineries .. the first was Bodega Benegas Lynch, where Tomas was an excellent guide, we learned and enjoyed very much, exquisite wines accompanied by some hams and cheeses ; this winery has a lot of history so you can not miss it. Second winery was Alta vista, there is not much to say, delicious wines, excellent guide and the best view of the mountain range. Third winery Terrazas de los Andes (from the Chandon family) this was where we had lunch a 4-step Gourmet menu. UNMATCHED, including tasting 5 wines, our guide Alejo a crack. And the fourth and final Norton winery, we enjoyed a lot with the guide (I don't remember its name) was a very dynamic and fun tasting, with a tour to the underground tastings. We loved it. Sincerely I would re-engage the Service with my eyes closed after this one, I doubt another will match it!!!
Muchas gracias Natalia
