We had the most amazing experience horse riding with César! As a complete beginner, I was a little nervous, but César was an absolutely fantastic guide; a brilliant horse rider, incredibly patient, kind and reassuring. He made me feel comfortable from the start, and we had so much fun! I went with my girlfriend, and it ended up being her favourite trip of our holiday. The horses were so sweet, the scenery was absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was something really special. To top it all off, César’s nephew cooked us the most wonderful traditional asado, accompanied by some excellent wine. And trust me, you will NOT go hungry! The food was incredible, and the hospitality was just as good. We couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. César and his family made us feel so welcome, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, César, for such a memorable day! ❤️

Itinerary
Our ranch is installed on a 100-hectare farm, where we find vines as the main crop, we will also see olive trees, fruit trees and small vegetable plantations, it is a route flooded with alleys and groves years, a pleasant experience for all the senses. Leaving the farm, we follow a path that takes us to the Mendoza River, which always has a harmonious flow, which allows us to travel and enjoy it on horseback. Next to the river we have a small chain of hills, if we have the necessary time, we can cross them and marvel at the small trails carved on horseback and that allow us to discover the native flora. You can end the tour with a typical Argentinian Asado with drinks and dessert (depending on the chosen option)

We had such a wonderful time with César and his people. Everyone was so welcoming. We did a 90 minute ride which wasn’t too much for the non-horse people in the group. The dinner with Asado afterwards was probably some of the best food I had in Argentina, and it kept coming! I would highly recommend this experience for anyone coming to Mendoza.
Hosta were very friendly, horses were very easy going and knew the direction to go by themselves. The views were amazing of vineyards, olive trees, and the Andes mountains in the distance. The asado lunch afterwards was one of the best meals: a very large spread with lots of bbq options and great Malbec wine! Well with the value...truly amazing!
This was such a beautiful, reflective and enriching activity. I was a little nervous to go horseback riding, but our guide was so patient and great with all of us...even my 11-year-old daughter loved the experience. We got to casually ride through Mendoza vineyards as well learned of their wine and olive oil production. A great experience.
What a lovely experience! Cesar was a very warm, friendly guide and made the experience so enjoyable. It was such beautiful views and very relaxing riding the horses. We also thoroughly enjoyed the dinner - it was a delightful experience all around!
Best tour ever! The horse were friendly, the staff even friendlier! The vineyard was beautiful and our guide wore traditional clothing which was fantastic! But the best part was the post ride asado. There was so much to eat and each course topped the previous!
It’s a one hour ride and then lunch. A family owned business that really cares. A great way to spend the afternoon!!
A beautiful ride through the vinyatdswith breath taking views of the Andes. Cesar was a great guide and gave so much interesting information about the landscape.
It was absolutely perfect. Cesar and his team were wonderful and we highly recommend this experience. Family friendly, entertaining and safe.
Great mid afternoon ride through the vineyards with Cesar! The horses were well mannered and the food was delicious! You get beautiful views of the Andes while riding, and Cesar has a great sense of humor and is a wonderful guide!
The experience was unique and very authentic. The horseback ride was very safe and had great scenery. The asado afterward was fantastic. They made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this experience!
Great experience for all traveling to Mendoza. No horseback riding experience needed. Very easy relaxing ride through the vineyards. The Asado is optional when booking but a must add, exceptional food and wine. Cesar is a great host. Gracias Ceasar!
Cesar was very helpful to make this experience joyful, safe, beautiful scenery, calm. The lunch was outstanding. We were very happy about our choice of this activity.
Cesar is a great person, we loved the trip and the horses. it was a lovely time. It is most recommended.
The horseback riding experience was beautiful! We loved our guide Javier who was super knowledgeable and helpful with the horses. Some more guidance for steering and all that before we got on the horses would have been great but we really enjoyed it and the views of the mountains and vineyards were spectacular. Thank you so much Javier!
Our group had the most marvelous time on this horseback riding adventure! While we had little to no experience with horses, Rancho Viejo still made our ride very comfortable and inclusive. We were able to see the beautiful scenery of Mendoza, while also learning a few fun facts! If you have the time, you MUST elect to have the Asado that is included in this package. The food was plentiful and very fresh - one of the best meals that we had on our trip. Overall, our experience at Rancho Viejo was filled with great company, great food, and forever great memories! I would highly recommend this experience if you are visiting the Mendoza area.
Cesar was an incredible host and guide. It was the experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended. Great guide. Great food
Cesar and Elio are excellent host and very knowledgeable of the wineries and surrounding areas. Beautiful nature landscape, the horses are well trained and the Asado was fantastic! And the Beef empanadas were delicious.
Excellent experience and very good service. The horses are very pretty and well cared for. The service and explanation were good.
Everything was spectacular. The horseback ride, the vineyards, the barbecue, and the company of the guide, Cesar. A great guy. 110% recommended!
I went alone to do the experience, but once there they welcomed me with great kindness. During the horseback ride, César guides you while telling you a bit of history, and invites you to chat with a very unique sense of humor. And then upon returning they wait for you with the food, totally out of this world! And to add to that, an exquisite wine that accompanies it. I recommend it for everyone looking to start their day in the best possible way. Sincerely, Joaquín.
Very good experience, lovely and pleasant. Advice for tourists: wear dark clothing just in case
Excelente de principio a fin, muy buena calidad de comida y la gente muy amable. Caballos muy mansos y bien cuidados.
Un gran paseo con buena compañía, sintiéndote en casa.. gran plática y compañía con un buen vino y asado..
Todo el equipo fue genial. Los guías que salieron con nosotras fueron muy amables y prestables! 5 estrellas
Los caballos son muy mansos. César te da tranquilidad y confianza. La vista es muy hermosa, alrededor de viñedos, olivos, el río y con vista a los alpes 😍
Cesar y Elio fueron tremendos anfitriones, muy simpáticos y serviciales. Todo el camino fue un gran agrado conversar con ellos y conocer sus vidas. El sendero de la cabalgata es muy lindo y tranquilo para andar, los caballos estaban muy bien adiestrados y muy bien cuidados lo que también es muy importante. La experiencia fue super agradable y placentera, recomiendo fuertemente esta experiencia.
Foi uma excelente experiência! Cesar e Helio foram super atenciosos desde o momento em que chegamos, durante a cavalgada, e durante o almoço de churrasco. A comida estava deliciosa, bem caseira, com vinho e água incluídos, e a conversa melhor ainda. Recomendo fortemente a quem busca uma experiência mais autêntica com um bom custo benefício. Ps. Fomos e voltamos de uber sem problema (era domingo), ~11 dólares para cada trecho.
Es hat alles sehr gut geklappt. Die Pferde waren zuverlässig und der Guide war sehr nett!! Wir sind durch die Weinreben geritten😊
