Our first stop is Caelum, a family project located on route 7 (road from Buenos Aires leading to Chilean border). The project was born in 2009. Respecting the environment and maintaining a family structure to ensure the care of each bottle with passion, the winery offers high quality white and red wines, and yummy pistachios. The name “Caelum” is due to a constellation that can be seen only from this part of the hemisphere representing the chisel used by the artist to paint. They think the hands which help to make the wine are the chisel of our industry.
Second stop at Casarena ; this winery represents one of the most accomplished faces of the Mendoza wine renaissance. Established on a century-old cellar in Agrelo, the winery has preserved the heritage of its old vines while infusing them with contemporary energy. The wines, crafted by a young and talented team, reflect the diversity of the Luján soils.
Finally, we arrived at Finca Minimal for a 6 courses gourmet lunch. This micro winery coexists with limited production of organic and natural premium wines, artisanal production of high-end goat cheeses, and a unique food and wine proposal, immersed in an organic Malbec vineyard from 1905.
Incredible experience. We had the opportunity to tour three places with Stephane. His high level expertise in food and wines weave us a unique experience you can’t get with most tours, but we still felt comfortable and enjoyed it as wine novices. The best part was the wide array of conversations we had about things much beyond wine. 10/10 experience - definitely book this if you have the chance.
We had an excellent experience with Stéphane on this tour! My partner and I were met with friendly, knowledgeable hosts at each winery that provided in-depth knowledge of the winery, history, and culture surrounding the experience. The food at the lunch was truly unparalleled- the spread featured modern takes on Argentinian classics with locally sourced, fresh ingredients that complemented the provided wines beautifully. This tour is great for folks looking to experience something beyond the industrial winery tours- with each spot feeling familial and extremely personal. We would enthusiastically repeat this experience and recommend to anyone.
We spent two days with Stephane and had a great time. Stephane communicated well with us in advance to cate the tour to our specific taste of wine. We had the wine tour in Uco valley (2 wineries and lunch) on day 1 and a tour of the pre-Andes and lunch on day 2. Both were of excellent quality. He is very reliable, very knowledgeable, and fun. The Wine tasting at Bodega Piedra Negra was especially impressive. On day 2 we had a fabulous very creatively crafted lunch at a place that we would have never found on our own. The chef offered incredible food beyond the typical beef steak and we had a very good wine pairing. We can full heartedly recommend Stephane.
I loved every single moment! Thanks, Andrea, for being such a knowledgeable, patient and lovely guide! I learned so much today!
Our private Lujan Deluxe tour was great. The wineries were beautiful and they were each so different which made for a fun experience. There was something for everybody in our group. We ended with a farm to table lunch that was delicious and much needed at that point. Our guide and driver were also wonderful and easy to spend the day with.
Private tour in nice car with bottled water. Fabulous driver. First stop amazing location and backdrop with very informative tour of winery and their methods - Al Mano - labour intensive. Great tasting looking at the Andes. Second stop again informative, if not quite as stunning. Less wine but plenty. Final stop for lunch was very quaint. Food unique - wine not as good as other two. Nice locations to eat outside.
We had a wonderful dat in the Lujan area. In the past, we were in the Uco valley so it was a new and interesting experience which is also closer to Mendoza !. The first two wineries were interesting and beautiful with great folks explaining everything with a great deal of knowledge and patience then we went to Finca Minimal, the third winery which is very unique in how they make the wine and food, very special and talented folks. Samanta ran the whole ahow flwlesly and was a great host. The operator need to clearly if this is a private or a group tour as not everyone prefer the solo option.
The Guide was knowledgeable, it was a private tour with just the two of us, we were able to ask about everything. The wineries were fantastic and the lunch was delicious!
Samantha was a terrific guide and driver. She provided information on the area and the wineries. The wineries were excellent hosts and provided excellent wines. Serrera winery is a hidden gem! Their chef Charley is amazing and his many courses provided were very creative and the most wonderful flavours!
We had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Matias Roca, was phenomenal. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversations and he obviously knew the history of the area and , as a sommelier, obviously knew his wine. Lunch was at an outdoor venue and was spectacular. Loved the wineries that were chosen. I would give this tour my highest recommendation. We feel like we now have a friend in Mendoza. Thanks, Matias!
We had the best tour with Florencio and team. In fact we had the best three tours including airport drop off and pickups. The wine tasting was divine and the lunch an incredible memory that will be with us always. Combine this with being let down by another operator and it all being organised the day before we arrived. In this industry I am sure you thrive or fail by your service and response and what we had from Florencia was the best I have experienced. Immédiate feedback. Solutions to problems. Initiative, genuine care and attention from first contact until after we left. When we go back to mendoza we would only use this her and cannot recommend highly enough to all other visitors! Thank you Florencia!!!!
What a wonderful day! Our guide, Flor was excellent. Each of the wineries visited had its own unique charm. Flor explained so much about the wine making process, the harvest, and of course the wine itself. The lunch was outstanding. The people at Finca Minimal were so kind and hospitable. I would highly recommend.
Flor and Alexis were amazing. Flor really knew her stuff when it came to all things wine and the area. She was super friendly and warm. She made our trip spectacular. Wineries were perfectly selected and delicious. 10/10!!!
We had a spectacular day in Mendoza. The wine tour was perfectly organized, we visited three amazing vineyards included in the tour. We were welcomed and given very professional explanations of the wine processing and treated to a wine tasting of their wines while enjoying the incredible views of the Andes. Our sommelier tour guide Clarissa was fantastic, very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. Our driver Alex was also very kind and helpful. At the last vineyard, Minimal Vineyard, we enjoyed a great lunch served in a beautiful setting, prepared by a great chef, Charlie. The food was delicious and the people fantastic. Thank you for organizing this tour and thank you to Clarissa and all the vineyards' employees for their welcome and kindness. We highly recommend this tour.
It was a wonderful tour with an excellent guide Clarisa and driver Alexi. We found the three different wineries we visited very interesting and wonderful.
Amazing day with Mati así our guide. The combination between small disruptive AND classical french influenced vineyards was a great contrast. Ending in an amazing 5 steps gourmet lunch. I RECOMMEND IT NO DOUBT!
What an amazing trip! They pivk you up in a comfortable van and drive you to the wine region area. On the way they give you some facts and history about Mendoaza. The wineries were so beautiful. The last wine tasting is paired with lunch and a view. Highly recommend! Both the driver and the guide were so nice and also knowledgeable on the history of Mendoza.
Excellent wines, beautiful views, delicious gormet food, and friendly hosts. I would highly recommend Lujan deluxe winery tour. We were visiting Mendoza from United States. The staff accomodated us by speaking in perfect English and sharing a lot of Argentine culture.
It was the best experience of the three Viator bookings we had in Argentina and Uruguay. My wife had a medical emergency and Clarisa and the driver went above and beyond is providing care and watching out for us. Great employees. We will book with Viator for all future travel. John Alley
We had a great time on the tour. Especially enjoyed tasting the local boutique wines. Our guide, Matias, was very knowledgeable about the wine, area, and geography. He shared many local traditions. His English was excellent. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. The driver was very good and it helped he understood english.
My wife and I along with some dear friends visited Mendoza and leveraged Tintos....hands down best experience! Not only are they great to work with and really strive to make it a truly remarkable trip, they are great people! We visit Uco Valley, Lujan, and did Gaucho for a day. The wineries were great but the day in the Andes was remarkable. If you are going to Mendoza, you must work with Tintos for a unforgettable experience!
Highly recommend booking a trip with The Tintos! The Gaucho day was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done...riding horseback in the Andes and meeting an amazing family was beyond amazing. So many unique wine tasting experiences and being taken care of every day like we were family was fabulous. We will plan to go back one day and it will be with The Tintos!
A great day out. A mix of family, mid size and global wineries. (3 in total) all different and good. The guided tours showed different wine making methods, the tastings of different varietals and styles generous. Lunch was delicious with an excellent pairing of wines degustation style. The driver was on time and drove safely. The tour guide was helpful, friendly with great wine knowledge and perfect English. If you are interested in exploring different methods and varietals from this region I would recommend this tour.
Our guide, Flor, gave us a very good expirience with the three wineyards. Especially the Finca Decero gave very good information om wine production. We were only seven in the tour so we got to learn each other a bit and had fun. The local dishes served also gave the tour a good expirience.
We spent our day touring several wineries with Flor and Francisco, and enjoyed our favorite day during our stay in Mendoza. Flor was an absolute joy to talk to, drink with, and dine with. We learned so much about Mendoza, Argentina, wine, food, etc, and enjoyed her fantastic company. We cannot recommend this service more! We wish we could have stayed longer and spent more time with The Tintos! Thanks for everything - Ian and Isabelle - New York City
We visited some very nice vineyards and Our tour guide flo was very knowledgable and fun. Highly recommended
My dad and I did the Deluxe wine tour for our last day in Argentina and we were not disappointed! This was an incredible day out learning and enjoying wines. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable! The group sizes are small so makes for a more intimate experience and the wines incredible
We did the Lujan Deluxe tour and our guide, Fleur, was really excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the vineyards and the wine, and she chatted easily from the very beginning. Her English was fluent. She was also good fun and really contributed to our enjoyment of the day. Our driver, Claudia, was also really good. The three vineyards we visited were well chosen, the were each a bit different and gave us a great impression of the area. The meal we enjoyed for lunch was superb. We would highly recommend this tour, definitely worth the price!
She has a great command of English associated with a very personal way of being connected with us and other people. Clearly by adding a good knowledge of wines and wineries she makes the tours didactic and appealing.
I highly recommend. Premium wines and an outstanding gourmet meal. Excellent customer service and English tour
Very well organised, informative guide, beautiful vineyards and good wine and food. A perfect day in Mendoza and good value for money!
Busqué un tour privado y al momento de la actividad me comentaron que era grupal, obviamente no vale lo que pagué, pues la cata de vinos ni es Premium ni la comida es Gourmet, un día antes tomé un tour grupal de prueba de vinos en tres bodegas y pagué una cuarta parte y estuvo mil veces mejor. La guía no sabía nada, no nos explicó ni resolvió nada, simplemente fue una asistente más del grupo. Definitivamente no lo recomiendo.
Incredible script. Three wineries with different proposals that complement each other. Very good lunch. I would like to thank the guide Clarisa who with her knowledge and friendliness made the day more special
Todo fue mágico, la atención de Matías, las bodegas y los vinos fueron de primera calidad. Aprendimos mucho en las catas y el almuerzo fue la cereza del postre ... Indescriptible, sin palabras para ese momento tan especial.
It was absolutely perfect! The wineries, the wines, the lunch! Clarissa's attention and great knowledge 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 (carried by Alexis with attentive service!)
Beautiful tastings and visits to the cellars. The day passed quickly as we enjoyed it so much. The meal accompanied by the tasting was also very good.
We took a private tour with 7 friends who came from Colombia Everything was spectacularly planned for us, from the views of the wineries to the simply wonderful lunch. Clarisa, our guide, is a wonderful and super expert and our driver, Alexis, is very kind. Totally recommended. The day I return I would love to do the tour with themselves Thank you so much
A special day in Mendoza with visits to very good bodegas! It started with the van picking us up at the hotel on time, which is excellent. A warm and very competent guide, Clarisa, who told us exactly about each activity! We visited and tasted wonderful wines at the Decero and Caelum/Eclat bodegas. Exceptional wines that deserve to be known. Highlights include “A Mano” from Decero, the white wine Blend – Fiano 50% – Chardonnay 45% – Sauvignon Blanc 5% and the Gran Reserva Malbec from Caelum. The Fincas are beautiful and Celeste from Decero, as well as Nuri from Caelum, made the experience more pleasurable. If you are a pistachio fan and don't know the pistachio tree, ask Caelum to visit their production. That's what we did. Special highlight for Bodega Minimal at Finca Dominante. An experience in itself. A pleasant environment and emphasis on natural and organic production. All food is produced in-house. As the wine quality standard has become very high with Decero and Caelum, lower your expectations, as Minimal wines are of lower quality. Nothing that compromises the gourmet experience, but the difference is noticeable. The wines are reasonable and some are strange, like an unfiltered Torrontés that looked more like mango juice. As I said, nothing that would compromise the whole. It was worth it and the guide Clarissa's driving was exceptional. High level and I highly recommend it!
Maravilhoso!!! A Clarissa e o Sebastian foram perfeitos. Nos levaram a 3 lugares incríveis. Desfrutamos de momentos muito agradáveis. Cada um com suas peculiaridades.
Nous avons passé une excellente journée avec Clarisa qui fait partie de l'équipe de Stephane qui est le gerant de l'agence qui est français par ailleurs. Nous avons vraiment adoré visiter les vignobles qui sont magnifiques et la variété très intéressante. Le dejeuner etait également excellent et dans un cadre exceptionnelle nous restons vraiment avec de jolies souvenirs de Mendoza grace à cette experience. Encore merci à Stephane pour son accueil et une mention spéciale pour Clarisa avec qui nous avons beaucoup discuté et qui a fait preuve de professionalisme et sympathie 5/5 :)
Excellent experience of boutique wineries. Thank you very much Clarisa our guide who took 10 points joining us on the tour
A beautiful experience. Clarisa accompanied us by guiding us to the 3 wineries, telling us not only about each winery but also the fauna of the place, the history of the area and answering each of our questions. Super friendly and willing! :) They are 3 small but exclusive wineries that do not have much on the market since they either export or only sell on site as Casa Vermilion. So super recommended to taste your wines that are not easily available. Those who received us in the cellars also knew a lot and were super clear and kind to explain everything. Pleasure!
We took this tour on our first day in Mendoza, and it was the best decision! Top wineries, we tasted super exclusive wines and lunch was really a Luxury. Clarisa our guide was attentive at all times to our questions and consultations, accompanied us throughout the day. Excellent driver and mobile phone. Everything perfect, I recommend it!
Wonderful mountains, thermal waters, vineyards, parks, canyons all in one place out the wonderful food and care of our brothers
A very good choice of wineries for tastings. An efficient and friendly guide. A lunch in the vineyards in a dream setting. A very reasonable price. What more can I ask? To recommend absolutely and without hesitation
Sensational, three completely different wineries, all very beautiful and the sensational wines, ending with an excellent lunch. The operator has been perfect since the package closure. The guide Flor and the driver Alexis, were sensational and extremely attentive. Congratulations to all Florence, Flor, Alexis.
They provide a unique experience for those who invited wine and gastronomy, with a higher level, made us feel in the hands of connoisseurs. A different, more exclusive, higher cost proposal with a very appropriate price/quality ratio. Recommended and repeatable.....
Initially, we hired a tour day, the day was spectacular and we hired a new day. The group was small. The guide Flor knew all the details. The driver Guilhermo also a sympathy. We had a differentiated attention and the wines, ah the wines, spectacular. Worth every penny, especially if you like exclusivity and selected places.
My husband and I did the Lujan Deluxe Tour with the operator Mendoza Andes 4x4 , first we visited the wonderful Finca Decero with tops and high-tech wines , the view is wonderful and the architecture of the vineyard has a Tuscan touch , then we went to a small cellar , Caelum , with good wines and we tried the delicious pistaches of own production , finally we closed with a golden key lunch at Melipal with harmonization of wonderful wines presented by John . What most delighted us was the guide Flor and she has an infinite knowledge and we could learn a lot from her. The driver Horace was very attentive and we had a quiet and safe ride. Thank you all.
Excellent tour with a visit to excellent wineries, accompanied by the friendly and pleasant guide Ema, ending with a wonderful lunch.
