Itinerary
At 2:30 PM we will be picked up from our selected hotels to head towards the Luján de Cuyo and Maipú area, where the wineries we will visit are located.
Through this circuit we will get in touch with the culture of work in the hands of immigrants who, using irrigation techniques inherited from the aborigines, such as canals and ditches, managed to transform the desert soil into a productive oasis. In this panorama, prestigious wineries proliferated, which have positioned Argentina as a privileged producer at the international level thanks to the quality of its products.
We will visit two wineries where we can learn more about the traditional methods and also about the incorporation of the latest technology. Accompanied by expert winery guides and oenologists, they will show us the vinification methods and the wine making, bottling and labeling processes. After the visit, we will be invited to taste these delicious wines. We will also make a visit to an olive establishment, where we will observe the process of making olive oil, also of excellent quality, and then we will be offered a tasting.
At 20:00 we will be arriving to Mendoza where you will be taken again to your hotel.

We went to the city and toured the northern part to see snow in a park on the way to Chile. The sublime, stunning landscapes looked like postcards!!! We went to see a vineyard and brought some bottles. Then we went to San Rafael for a few days to be closer to Las Leñas and return to the snow. More dazzling postcards. Highly recommended!!!💞
Comfortable shuttle and knowledgeable guides for wine and olive lovers. Carolina and the guides at each stop were great!
Excellent experience. I had a great time, the group was very nice. The guide and the driver were very cool. The guides of the wineries very good information gave us.
It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Please note that you must eat in advance because lunch is not included.

Very nice for a non Spanish speaker. I learned a lot as this was my first ever wine tour. Very pleasant tour guide and competant driver.
We appreciated the variety of establishments visited. And the pickup/dropoff service is very useful!
We had an amazing time, very well organized everything and spectacular tastings. Very nice experience, recommended 100%
The experience was nice. The olive oil tasting was a bit surprising. It was mentioned very little in the description. Once we get to the wineries, the tour became much more interesting. Seeing a wine museum that is over 100 years old was very educational.
Cecchin vineyard was great. The guide was professional and spoke perfect English. The same was with olive refinery. But the two last wineries were a great disappointment. The local guides couldnot speak English and we hardly could understand what they were saying. Sorri for that!
I hope this message finds you well. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about your recent 1 winery and olive oil tour. We greatly value your opinion and are glad to hear that you especially enjoyed your visit to the Cecchin vineyard and the olive oil refinery, highlighting the professionalism. We deeply regret that your experience at the last two wineries did not meet your expectations due to the language barrier with the local guides. We fully understand your frustration and the importance of clear communication to fully enjoy the visit and understand the information provided. We want to assure you that we take your comments on this aspect very seriously. At our agency, we strive to offer guides who can communicate effectively with all our passengers. We will investigate internally why the local guides at the last two wineries were unable to offer the same quality of communication in English that you experienced at the beginning of the tour. Your feedback is very valuable and we will use it to review our agreements with collaborating wineries and ensure that our communication standards are met at all points of the excursion. This may involve requesting English-speaking guides or exploring alternatives to facilitate understanding of the information on future visits. We are pleased to know that, in general, you enjoyed the tour and regret this linguistic inconvenience at the end of the journey. We thank you again for your honesty and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a completely satisfactory experience on your future trips with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or would like to explore other tour options in the region.
