Lujan de Cuyo Wine Tour with Winemaker: 2 Vineyards & Meal

Two vineyards and a four-course meal, led by someone who understands how the wines are actually made

A six to seven hour private tour of Lujan de Cuyo's hidden vineyards led by an agronomic engineer, starting with pickup from your accommodation. Visit two working wineries (one focused on sustainable irrigation and sun exposure, the other on biodynamic practices aligned with lunar cycles), then sit down to a four-course meal where each dish is paired with wines from the region. Private transport, tastings at both vineyards, and lunch are included.

The experience

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel, and the guide arrives with mate tea and local pastries while discussing Mendoza's wine history. This sets the tone: this is not a rushed tasting but a conversation with someone trained in agronomy who can explain what you're about to see. The first vineyard demonstrates advanced vine management: optimal row orientation for sun exposure, sustainable drip irrigation, the practical choices that shape what ends up in the glass. The second vineyard operates on biodynamic principles, managing vines in rhythm with lunar cycles and natural rhythms to build ecosystem health. Both stops include tastings. Both are working vineyards, not tourist facilities.

The tour concludes at a culinary space where a four-course meal awaits. Each dish uses local ingredients and is paired with wines that complement the flavors, not a generic tasting menu but a meal built around what the region produces. After six to seven hours of learning how the wines are made, you sit down to taste them in context, with food and explanation. The return to your accommodation is included.

Is this one for you?Six to seven hours means the tour fills most of a day but leaves the morning or evening free for other plans in Mendoza. Minimum age is 18. The private format keeps the pace with your group and the guide's attention on your questions, not on managing a larger group.
