The experience

You start the morning at a boutique winery in Agrelo, a region known internationally for complex, aromatic Malbecs. The guide walks you through the vineyards and production area, then sits you down for a tasting of the winery's best wines. The second stop introduces you to Mendoza's pioneering winemaker and the wines that built her reputation. At the third winery, nestled at the foot of the Andes, you eat a traditional Mendocino lunch with one of the region's best mountain views, and the wines served are paired to the food.

The tour runs private, so the pace and stops adjust to what you want to see. Pickup from your hotel or accommodation is included, and the vehicle stays air-conditioned throughout the day. A live guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese depending on your preference. The eight-hour span lets you move unhurried between the three properties without rushing the tastings or the meal.
