The Experience

How do you fit three wineries, an olive oil factory and a museum into one day without spending it behind the wheel? This tour handles the driving and the planning. A guide meets you at your hotel in the morning or afternoon (you choose the departure time at checkout), and a private vehicle takes the small group through Mendoza's wine country. The day moves between stops without dead time, and the guide explains what you are tasting and why as you move through each place.

At the traditional winery and the industrial winery, you taste three wines at each one—the difference between how they work becomes clear when you see the operations side by side. The artisan olive oil factory is a smaller stop where you sample every product they make. Then comes the old winery, restored in Renaissance style, where you descend into the cellar to see how sparkling wine is made and learn the process from someone who knows it. The museum visit rounds out the cultural side of the day, showing you Mendoza's heritage beyond the glass.

The tour ends with a 5-course lunch or dinner—the menu is a steps course paired with wine, so each course arrives with a wine that matches it. Vegetarian options are available if you let the operator know when you book. Transport by private vehicle, the guide, all tastings and the meal are included; the only thing not covered is gratuities. Souvenir photos can be purchased if you want them.

Top questions

What's the difference between the traditional winery and the industrial winery on this tour?

The traditional winery and industrial winery show two sides of how wine is made in Mendoza. At each one you taste three wines, so you can see the difference in scale, methods and output as the guide walks you through both operations on the same day.

Do I have to choose the morning or afternoon departure when I book?

Yes, you pick either the morning or afternoon departure at checkout. Both options run the same route and include all the same stops, tastings and the 5-course meal; the only difference is what time the guide picks you up at your hotel.

Is the 5-course meal included in the price, or do I pay extra for it?

The 5-course lunch or dinner is included in the tour price. You choose which one suits your departure time when you book, and the menu is a steps course paired with wine. If you need a vegetarian option or have other dietary requirements, let the operator know at the time of booking.

What does the cellar tour at the old winery show you?

The old winery, restored in Renaissance style, has a cellar where you descend to see how sparkling wine is made. The guide explains the process and shows you the setup where it happens, so you understand what goes into that particular wine before you taste it.

Is hotel pickup included, or do I need to get to a meeting point?

Hotel pickup is included. The guide meets you at your hotel at the time of your chosen departure, and the private vehicle returns you there at the end of the day, so you don't arrange any transport yourself.

Can I bring children or use a wheelchair on this tour?

Yes. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and infants can sit on an adult's lap. All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and transportation options are wheelchair accessible. The tour suits all physical fitness levels, and service animals are allowed.
