Absolutely incredible time. We've done plenty of wine tours around the world but this was a special experience. Stéphane got us into some of the best wineries and we were able to experience their best wines. We were treated like VIPs everywhere we went. This is a must do when I'm Mendoza to get a different perspective on the wines. Being a sommelier helped us learn as well. He even set us up at a fabulous restaurant back in town afterwards for a romantic dinner.

Great experience. All the logistics were handled very well. Our driver was helpful and pleasant and maintained the schedule well. We enjoyed both wineries. The tours were interesting and the tastings quite generous. Lunch at the Hornero Restaurant was fantastic. I wish we lived closer so we could visit again.
We had the most incredible time in Mendoza over our Christmas holiday, and so much of that experience was thanks to our exceptional guide, Stéphane. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel less like tourists and more like family. His knowledge of Mendoza’s wine, food, and history is truly impressive, and he shared it in a way that was engaging, thoughtful, and never overwhelming. Stéphane went above and beyond when our original Christmas Eve dinner reservation unexpectedly fell through—he somehow managed to secure us an unforgettable Michelin-starred dining experience, which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. That level of care and dedication speaks volumes about the kind of guide he is. If you’re planning a trip to Mendoza, I cannot recommend Stéphane highly enough. His passion for the region, combined with his warmth and attention to detail, elevates the entire experience and makes the trip truly special.
Prestigious wineries of Uco, Private luxury tour for USD700 (2 persons) was NOT luxury 1. The transportation was arranged with used SMALL regular car - Toyota corolla 2. On the wineries all tours and tasting were with group, NOT private 3. The food in the restaurant was nothing special and some dishes was not quality and delicious 4. Our pick-up point was Puesto del Indio Lodge (outside of Mendoza, but not so far). When I had booked the tour the system had confirm me that pick-up point. But operator send us the message, that we can confirm that pickup point if we pay USD190 extra. The operator told us the lodge is located far from city and road conditions requires to use high-clearance vehicles (4x2 or 4x4) to access the property safely. It was NOT TRUE. Road was perfect. And the taxi cost from lodge to city was USD20 ONLY (one side). The operator was cheating on the condition of the road.
Perfect day touring wineries and an amazing lunch. Martin was our guide and he was fantastic! Very friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend!
We did this tour with Nadia as our guide and Fabio as our driver. We had a great time. They even stopped along the way for us to experience breakfast of the street. DiamAndes is the best winery and Nati there was just amazing. We could have just spent more time there and would have been happy. Make sure you have a hearty breakfast before the tour as it's a lot of wine and lunch is late, after 2pm. Definitely reccomend doing this tour.
It was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide Ana was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The tours and tastings were well prepared, making for a memorable trip.
Almondina and Norma took wonderful care of us, and the wineries we visited were absolutely striking and memorable. Best part was it was just the two of us for the first two. The last one was more of a tour bus place, so we just pretended we didn’t speak English.
Absolutely fantastic experience from a to z. Great organization, fantastic wines, a sweet bunch of people and a super guide! Matthias brought a great ambiance and had excellent knowledge of the area, wines and beyond. Food was outstanding! We had a blast and would recommend it 100%
Our guide, Clarissa, was very friendly and knowledgeable - we really enjoyed her company and the information she provided. Our driver was also helpful, friendly and we felt very safe leaving things in the van while we did our tastings. The 3 wineries we visited were not only on beautiful grounds but the tastings were personalized for our level of wine knowledge and tasting skill. The lunch + tasting/pairing at Gaia was one of our highlights to Argentina! The food was amazing and the views of the mountains were spectacular! Be sure to get a table with a good mountain view :)
We were picked up from our hotel at 8.30 am and joined four Austrians on the minibus tour of vineyards hosted by Ana. Right from the start Ans was superb, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. We made two vineyard stops, both really enjoyable. The final stop was the restaurant Gaia, the food was really tasty and more wine flowed. Overall a great experience and thank you to Ana for her superb hosting. ✅👍
Outstanding... Best Wine Tour we had during our 2 week stay in Argentina and Chile. My wife and I have traveled to some of the best wine countries in the America's and have experienced dozens of wine tours. Anabel is a fantastic guide. Anabel has deep knowledge of the area and the wines. We appreciate that she is a sommelier and speaks knowledgeablely about the wines. In addition to her knowledge of the area and its wines, Anabel is a wonderful conversationalist. It is not often that you can write accolades about a driver, but Fernando went above and beyond ... we are dog lovers, and one of the wineries has a dog rescue as you drive in. Fernando stopped for us to visit the dogs and grabbed some cookies for us to give to the dogs. Wines were good spending the day with Anabel and Fernando made the day wonderful.
Actually everything. This tour was filled with so much personal attention and a great explanation, great wine and excellent lunch with amazing views and a very kind, knowledgeable and professional guide. The guide did not only tell us about the wineries we were going to but also the history of Mendoza which was great to hear. This makes it a full package worth the price. Really prestigious wineries and luxury tasting and gourmet lunch.
Guillermo and Clarissa were our tour guides for the day. We were taken to 3 different wineries varying in size from a small boutique to a larger one to close out the day. We were able to try 4-5 wines at each place and found some real stand outs among the group. The lunch spot was fantastic as we a gorgeous view at one of the wineries plus the food was top notch. Would recommend this trip for anyone in Mendoza.
This is a special tour of very interesting wineries. You get a lot of time with reps who tell you about the wines and wineries and can answer every question. The lunch is fantastic and the tastings are generous. Clarissa will make your day fun and memorable!
We visited 3 super wineries as part of this tour (Diamandes, Piedra Negra & Domaine Bousquet) and tasted some amazing wines as well as enjoying a delicious lunch at Domaine Bousquet. Matias our guide was amazing - really knowledgable and friendly with superb English. Another couple had joined us for one of the tours who owned their own vineyard in the US and they too were really impressed by him! Would highly recommend as part of a wine tasting trip to Mendoza!
We both enjoyed this tour very much - it exceeded both our expectations. The wineries were well chosen and the hospitality shown by each of them was exceptional (as was the wine). The lunch experience was also very good, with an amazing meal, great ambiance and company and, of course, more wonderful wine. Our hosts for the day, Mathias and Alexis, certainly added to the great experience we had. Mathias in particular was quite charming, knowledgeable and articulate. It was a pleasure spending the day with him as our guide.
This tour was excellent. Matias was very informative about Argentina history and wine. He made the trip very pleasant. One of the wineries we went to weren’t the ones listed but it was still a great and different winery. Great choice. I would recommend this tour to everyone
Beautyfull tour I recommend. Clarisa and Guillermo are super lovely guides whith huge knowledge. We did learn a lot not only about food and wines but also about Mendoza, the Andes and Argentinia. Just loved that day
We had a great day in Uco Valley. Clarisa and Alexis were very professional and also very nice. Great wine/vineyards and great food with wine pairing. Highly recommend!
Our favorite was Diamandes with Romero who is the wine maker. We’ve been on a number of tours but never learned more. What a special treat. Also our driver Daniel and guide Clarissa were excellent. Professional and helpful every step of the way. Thank you.
Well organized tour and tasting at 3 Valley wineries with an included lunch. I think negotiating a daily rate with a taxi driver and booking direct with wineries would have saved you significant money with minimal legwork. The vineyard staff all spoke great English and did the entire tour. The agency guide, though very friendly, felt superfluous. Lunch was good but not amazing.
Amazing day. We are staying at the Park Hyatt in downtown Mendoza. We were picked up promptly. Enjoyed two great tastings followed by a five course lunch with wine pairings, all of which were world class. Our guides were Nadia and Fernando, both a joy! You will not be disappointed!
Great guide/ very informative! Beautiful views and the wine was incredible. Overall great day! Lunch was delicious as well! Nice air conditioned vehicle as well and prompt pick up!
such an amazing tour. Our guide Mica and driver Fernando were great, and Mica provided her own sommelier-in-training knowledge on the drive and during the tastings. We visited a nice mix of wineries (corazon del sol - a smaller boutique winery, piedra negra - a bigger but still small / medium size that has all organic wine, and bousquet - a fantastic 5 course lunch + wine pairing with a beautiful setting and view of the Andes). Luis from corazon del sol even let us try some mate for our first time in Argentina so we got to cross another thing off our checklist. Thank you to this group and Mica & Fernando, this tour was a highlight of our honeymoon that included many highlights!!
Clarissa was a great tour guide taken to three distinctly different wineries plenty of tastings and the lunch at the end of the tour had unlimited pours. It was great to be in the uco valley with the gorgeous Andes as a backdrop. Special mention to our driver William too. This tour is highly recommended
While the tour guide was wonderful, knowledgable and punctual (5 star), our issue was that we were never advised of the change of the winery from Bodega Diamondes to a small winery. While we understand changes may occur, the confirmation email we received the day before the tour clearly indicates that Bodega Diamondes was included. If changes occur, the tour operator should at least notify us in advance, as Bodega Diamondes was the reason we chose this tour over other ones.
This was our best tour in Argentina so far. The company was very communicative and made themselves available for any questions. Our guide, Anabel, was the absolute best. She knew so much about wine, the region, and we enjoyed lively discussions about Argentina’s current affairs. The wineries we went to were so beautiful and the wine was great. The 5 course lunch at the end of the tour was delicious. The drive back to Mendoza got pretty hot and stronger AC or window shades would have been really helpful. Additionally, a cooler filled with waters would have been nice after a day of drinking wine! But really, all in all such a great experience and we would do it again!
I highly recommend this wine tasting tour of the Uco Valley. This is the second wine tour for us in Mendoza to explore the Uco Valley. Both our driver and tour guide are knowledgeable and we got spoiled since it's just us two in the whole tour. We visited a total of 3 wineries all day with a curated lunch-tasting +wine pairing menu in one of the winery in their restaurant, with a spectacular view of the Andes mountain. This wine tour will take you closer to a breathtaking view of the Andes mountain on our way to each of the wineries we visited that day, and we got lucky that day since the skies are so clear and blue all day.
Lovely guide Clarisa y Guillermo the driver, both lovely people, bilingual which was a great help, they had a sparkling personalities, lovely people very proud of their heritage and made our day a very memorable one visiting superb bodegas and the wine tasting was awesome.
We had a wonderful tour with our knowledgeable guide Clarisa. The tour took us to two of the smaller boutique wineries that were experimenting with newer fermentation vessels, i.e. concrete eggs, clay vessels produced in the classic Greek amphora style and newer high fired clay vessels to produce some high quality Malbec and other wines. The lunch following the tours was also exceptional and I would highly recommend the experience. Of special note was our guide Clarisa who was both knowledgeable and friendly.
We had a great experience, Guillermo & Clarisa are FANTASTIC, they will make you feel very good , they are very knowledgeable, friendly and they really know the wine 🍷 business
Simply amazing! One of the highlights of our honeymoon in Argentina. Clarissa and Guillermo were so knowledgable and kind and we had great fun. They switched between English and Spanish language so easily to accommodate everyone on our tour. All the chosen wineries and tastings were fantastic and lunch was wonderful. Everything was well organised and timely and good value for money. We would do this again in a heartbeat!
We visted Corazon Del Sol, Piedra Negra, and Dominique Basquet. All amazing wineries. The driver and tour guide were excellent too! We had our 2-year-old with us and she had a blast too! Thank you for everything :)
This was a fun way to spend a day. Our guide Andrea was very friendly and very knowledgeable about wine. We tasted some excellent wine and lunch was delicious. We met some fun people on our stops.
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour with our guide Andrea! We were picked up from our hotel in Chacras at 8:30 AM and taken to three wineries: Corazon Del Sol, Piedra Negra, and Dominique Basquet. The first two were private tastings! The third was the lunch with wine pairings as well. Andrea was intelligent on the wine making process, warm to the clients, a perfect English communicator, and she curated a great experience! We made it back to the hotel after 5pm so plan the day accordingly.
I loved this experience! Delicious wine, beautiful views, delicious food and an amazing tour guide. Definitely recommend it!
Driver Guillermo and sommelier Carla picked us up from our Mendoza hotel and during the drive to the Uco Valley it became apparent that we were in for an absolute treat. The two of them were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the local wine industry but it was genuinely pleasant to talk to them about all kinds of things. Their English isn't perfect (although to be fair, better than my Spanish), but that didn't stop us from having interesting and fun conversations throughout the day. Our first stop on the tour was Bodega Piedra Negra, where we were welcomed with our first glass of wine for the day and an opportunity to take in the stunning panorama of the surrounding vines and the Andes. Meanwhile our Piedra Negra guide Regina gave us an overview of the winery's history. Afterwards she showed us the productions facilites and the cellar. Finally, we got to taste three different wines, 1 white and 2 red, one of which in 2 vintages. Since we are far from being wine experts, we were very grateful that Regina guided us through the process, providing an insightful introduction to each of them, which meant we never felt out of our depth. After buying a couple of bottles we moved on to the next winery, which happened to be just next door: Bodega Gimenez Riili. Our guide there, Veronica, gave us a quick tour of the premises and switched between Spanish and English with ease, since we were joined by an Argentinian family. We got to taste some unfinished wines straight from the casks and then sat in the gorgeous restaurant area by the fireplace to try another 4 of their wines, accompanied by a scrumptious cheese board. Our last stop was another 20 minute drive away at restaurant Rincón Atamisque. We got to pick from several options to build a 4 course meal, with each course being paired with a glass of wine. The food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed the wines too, although we have to admit that we were more than a bit tipsy by this point. Finally, Guillermo and Carla made sure we safely got back to our hotel and we shared another couple of good laughs on the way. For our next trip to Mendoza, we'll definitely make sure to choose them as our guides again. The whole tour had an authentic, local flair to it. It seemed like the wineries were chosen for us not because they are trendy but because they are genuinely worth a visit. We couldn't have wished for a better day!
We had a fabulous time and the wineries and the lunches we had were above exceptional. I can not speak highly enough about Alex Crux and the gourmet lunch we had there, Everyone should put that on their must do list! Van was perfect and our driver Guillermo was a delight! We had a perfect two days of wineries in the Uco Valley!
Very great winetour with flor - absolutely amazing with great wineries and authentic lunch in the wineyards.
We really enjoyed the first winery, Bodega Rolland, very informative tour and delicious wines. Our lunch at the outdoor patio was delicious and very interesting. Our tour guide struggled with her English and so although she was a sommelier, she was very limited in her ability to convey information about the wines.
Thanks for the trip. Nice ride, knowledgeable guide and the wineries were lovely with extensive information offered. Lunch was tasty and picturesque!
This was a great tour! Flor, our guide, and Norma our driver were superb. We had great fun and learned a lot. I'd use this company again (Andes 4x4/Tintos).
Our guides, Flor and Flor, and driver Nicolas were awesome!! Beautiful wineries and delicious lunch. Very informative and fun. Thanks for a great day!
We enjoyed a day with just with Florence. She explained us so much about wine and even more with such a passion. It was fantastic! Thank you
We booked a small group tour and in the end had a private day with Vicky. She shared her knowledge of the area and history of wine in the region during the drive from Mendoza. She took us to Bodega Rolland and Lurton for private tours and tastings of two totally different wine styles. We were able to compare Cot & Malbec- two versions of the same grape. The next stop was a beautiful boutique restaurant set in a vineyard. Locals were enjoying a Sunday lunch (on Easter Sunday) and there were very few tourists. That is a definitely a sign of quality! The lunch conversation was interesting, as Vicky shared her passion for travel and experience with introducing Argentinian wines to the USA market. On the drive back, we took another route to see more of the Andes mountain foothills and had time for short siesta in the car. We realize it is difficult to delineate the quality of tours via the web, but are so happy that we selected "The Tintos" tour company! Vicky is an excellent ambassador for Argentina and the Mendoza region.
We had a lovely day visiting 2 different wineries, both very different and finished off with lunch (with more wine) at a beautiful lodge. Wines were fantastic and so was the scenery. Thanks to our guide Flor who was great!
Tour was fantastic. Communication a little slow from company (eg i emailed night before as hadnt heard from them to confirm collection time) but on the day was run smoothly. Sol was our guide, very friendly and gave us basic information on the region. Her English was good but not great. We visited a small winery first “Laureano Gomez” which was an amazing starting point t- well known winemaker who now makes wine in his back garden. Wife brought beatuful snacks and we tried wine from the barrels. Very personable and was very knowledgeable. Then on to a larger winery “Bodega Piedra Negra” which was great to see the differences between a boutique winery and a larger one. Strong french influence here. Delicious and quality wines again. We then went for Lunch at “Casa de Uco” which is a beautiful winery. Food was good but not great. And wines were ok - would have been nice to have explanation with our wines. However was a quality day and would very much recommend
<p>This tour was my favourite of all!!!We never knew it was a private tour .Loved ,loved ,loved it!!!Ernie our guide was wonderful and really looked after us!!!The 2 wineries we went to were amazing!!!The 2nd one was my favourite the winemaker guided us privately at his vineyard .4 course meal amazing</p>
Delicious the wineries we know: Piedra Negra, Atamisque and lunch at Hornero Restaurant. We did not know the Clos Del Los Siete winemaker, as indicated in the script, but Atamisque was sensational. Argentine lunch very well done. I always think that the restaurants can provide a service to want, as a tourist, but it was excellent!
