The experience

Lujan de Cuyo is the heart of Mendoza's wine country, and this tour moves through two of its most distinctive regions (Agrelo and Perdriel) stopping at three wineries that show different sides of how the valley makes wine. Caelum, founded in 2009 on Route 7, focuses on family-run production of high-quality reds and whites alongside pistachios, built on the idea that winemaking is a craft requiring the same precision as art. Casarena sits in a century-old cellar in Agrelo and pairs heritage vines with contemporary techniques, reflecting the diversity of Luján soils through wines made by a young team. At each stop you taste premium wines and learn how the winemaking process works and what innovation is shaping the region's future.

Lunch happens at Finca Minimal, a micro winery that doubles as a working farm. The six-course meal sits you inside an organic Malbec vineyard planted in 1905, and the kitchen pairs the food with the winery's own limited-production organic and natural wines. Finca Minimal also makes artisanal high-end goat cheeses on-site, so the meal reflects what the property actually produces. A professional driver handles the route between stops, and a live guide in your choice of English, Spanish, Portuguese or French provides commentary throughout the day.

The tour runs six to eight hours depending on how long you spend at each winery and how the day unfolds. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, as are coffee and tea. A minimum of two people per booking is required, and the maximum group size is eight. Dress code is smart casual, and vegetarian options are available if you request them when you book.
