Private Biodynamic Wine Tour Mendoza: Sommelier-Led Tastings

Learn how soil shapes wine, tasting one grape variety across different terroirs.

A private biodynamic wine tour in Mendoza pairs you with a professional sommelier for six to seven hours, visiting two boutique organic estates where you walk the vineyards, learn winemaking techniques, and taste premium wines selected to deepen your understanding of the region's terroir. The sommelier customizes the itinerary to your pace and preferences, and a table is pre-arranged at a winery restaurant for lunch. Transportation in a private air-conditioned SUV and water throughout the day are included.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private biodynamic wine tour in Mendoza

• Walk through biodynamic vineyards
• Explore artisanal winemaking techniques
• Exclusive tasting with sommelier
• Visit MAAL Wines boutique winery
• Lunch at selected winery restaurant

The experience

What separates this from the commercial tasting rooms is the sommelier guiding you through the soil itself. You start at a biodynamic estate where the walk through the vineyards comes first. The sommelier explains how clay, silt and limestone in the ground shape what the vines produce. Inside the winery, you see the organic and biodynamic practices at work, not just hear about them. The tasting that follows is curated to match what you've just learned, so each wine connects to the place you stood minutes before.

The second stop is MAAL Wines, a project built entirely around one grape: Malbec. Seeing how the same variety expresses different profiles depending on terroir and technique is the kind of education that changes how you taste wine afterward. The winery itself is built from recycled scrap metal, a striking structure against the Andes backdrop. Lunch happens at a winery restaurant in Luján de Cuyo: the sommelier pre-arranges the table and picks the venue based on how the day is flowing and what's in season, whether that's the boutique estate of craft winemaker Manuel Mas, the cozy atmosphere at Dante Robino, or Ramos Generales at Kaiken. You order and pay for food and wine directly at the restaurant.

The itinerary is entirely yours to shape. The sommelier adjusts the pace, the depth of each stop, and which estates you visit based on what interests you most. A private SUV handles the driving, and water is available throughout the day. The experience is available in English or Russian.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Russian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24h before the start.

What exactly happens during the vineyard walk at the first estate?

You walk through the vineyards with the sommelier, who explains how the soil composition (clay, silt, limestone) shapes the character of the vines. Inside the winery, you explore the organic and biodynamic winemaking techniques they use, then taste a curated flight of premium wines that connects directly to what you've learned about the place.

Why is MAAL Wines a separate stop on this tour?

MAAL makes exclusively 100% Malbec wines, so visiting shows you how a single grape variety expresses dramatically different profiles depending on terroir and winemaking technique. The winery is also an architectural landmark, built entirely from recycled scrap metal against the Andes.

How does lunch work, and who chooses the restaurant?

The sommelier pre-arranges a table at a winery restaurant in Luján de Cuyo, selecting the venue based on the day's flow and seasonal availability. Options include Manuel Mas, Dante Robino, or Ramos Generales at Kaiken. You order and pay for food and wine directly at the restaurant.

Can I customize which wineries we visit?

Yes. The itinerary is fully customizable to your pace and wine preferences. The sommelier tailors the experience based on what interests you most, adjusting which estates you visit and how much time you spend at each one.

Is this tour suitable if I'm not a wine expert?

Absolutely. The sommelier leads educational tastings designed to deepen your understanding of terroir, winemaking techniques and the philosophy behind each wine, regardless of your starting knowledge. The experience is built around learning, not expertise.
