Step-by-step itinerary

Uco Valley wine tour and tasting

• Tour Mendoza terroirs in Valle de Uco
• Visit three prestigious wineries
• Explore vineyards and aging rooms
• Taste wines with local guides
• Enjoy gourmet lunch with wine pairing

The Experience

You arrive at one of Uco Valley's three wineries and the guide walks you straight into the vineyard. The vines sit in the shadow of the Central Andes, and the guide—a local who knows the terroir—explains what grows here and why. Then you move into the aging room, where the wine rests in oak barrels. The guide opens the details: how long it sits, what the oak does, what the winery is waiting for. You taste the wine there, in the room where it has been sitting, and the guide talks you through what you are tasting.

The second winery follows the same path—vineyard, cellar, tasting—and then the day shifts. A table is set, and a gourmet lunch arrives, each course paired with wines from that winery's collection. The third winery comes after, another round of vines and aging rooms and tasting. Private transport moves you between all three, and bottled water travels with you. The whole day is seven to eight hours, and nothing is left for you to arrange.

A guide speaks your language—English, Spanish or Portuguese—and knows each winery's story. Because the tour runs private, the pace holds steady and the guide can answer what you actually want to know instead of moving a group along. The minimum is two people, so you can book as a couple or bring a friend.
