The experience

The tour starts with pickup at your hotel and a 90-minute drive to the Uco Valley, one of Mendoza's main wine regions. Sophenia Winery comes first: you'll walk the vineyards and facilities with a guide, then taste wines on-site. From there, the focus shifts to food and wine together. At Bodega Salentein, you sit down to a four-course lunch, each plate paired with a selected wine, eaten in a room overlooking the Cordillera. A tour of the winery itself rounds out the afternoon before the drive back to the city.

The guide speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese, so language isn't a barrier. The whole day runs about nine hours from pickup to drop-off. Infants and small children can come along in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if needed. The pace suits all fitness levels.
