Wine Chocolate & Olive

We actually did not go on this tour. There we extenuated circumstances that made us change plans. The host was extremely easy to work with and they gave us another option that was truly amazing!!

Great experience. Takes half a day and all three tours were great. We got to sample lots of chocolate, olive oil and wine. Our guide Juan was fantastic, went to extra lengths to translate for us. Thank you

The tour guide was excellent, but the experience involved a disappointing “bait and switch” regarding the chocolate shop. The tour website specifically advertised a visit to Chocoleeza, known for its wide selection of alfajores—one of Argentina’s signature treats. Instead, we were taken to a lower-quality shop with mediocre chocolate, stale products, and a very limited selection of alfajores. When I asked the guide about the change, he was unaware of any difference from the advertised itinerary. While the rest of the tour met expectations, missing the opportunity to visit Chocoleeza was a major letdown, as I was particularly looking forward to sampling a high-quality variety of alfajores. Overall, this substitution felt misleading, and I would not recommend this tour.

Very good value for money and spent the right amount of time in each venue. Pablo our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Mendoza and the surrounding areas as we drove along. He was very easy to talk to and understand. His English was very good. The chocolate and olive making process was very interesting and well described. The olives and chocolate tasting was great and we purchased some of each which were both delicious. The vineyard and wine making process was also fascinating. The quality of the wine at the tasting was acceptable but not fantastic. Overall good value for money and something different to just wine tasting.

We were supposed to be picked up from our hotel at 8:30 in the morning, but our driver had an accident on the way to pick us up. Thankfully, he was OK, but our tour had to be canceled. The tour operator made it up to us by rescheduling the same afternoon and giving us an extra winery with snacks. We ended up with a private tour for just our group of four. Our guide, Claudia, was absolutely fantastic. We had such a nice time on this tour and really learned a lot.

Pablo our guide and Mario our driver picked us up at our hotel, exactly on time. they took us to a chocolate factory—Choclezza, where we were given an excellent tour with plenty of samples. We had many questions which were all answered. The shop is beautiful and the two women working there were very pleasant. From there we drove to an artisanal olive oil plant, Olivicola Boutique Pasrai. The guide here was very enthusiastic and we learned exactly what to look for when buying Olive Oil: extra virgin, with less than .5% acidity. The samples we were given were excellent and we each had our favorites. And then on to Vistandes Winery. Here the main building is surrounded by vineyards. We had a tour of the areas for grape processing and then a tasting out on the beautiful balcony overlooking the vines. Pablo was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. It was a very fun tour. I only wish it had been one of our first tours because we learned so much and could have added more to our stay in Mendoza.

Just perfect. Juan-Pablo was excellent, very easy going and informative. And not to mention fluent in Spanish & English. The pick up was on time, the vehicle was very comfortable and well driven, and the whole trip was wonderful. Combining chocolate, olive oil and wine was inspired. We learned a great deal about the processing of all 3 major food groups! This was just the right length of trip for us, especially after our 12-hour Andes trip the day before. Thank you Juan.

We had the most brilliant driver Fabrizio👌Like Mendoza, he was laid back with a sunny dispostion. It was a good way to get oriented with the town. Olive Oil was world class. Wine was stuff that would apoeal to masses but not serious drinkers but the view was lovely. Unfortunately just as we were getting going with chocolate tasting about 100 tourist off a double decker bus tookover so we were quickly given some chocolate without much explantion and ushered out.

Very enjoyed guide was excellant. People on different locations very knowledgeable we had as well. Would recommend

Excellent expirence. Everything goes fine, exactly as described. The products, you can buy, are very good. Also, you can enjoy the explanation and the food and beverage.

I did the Wine Chocolate & Olive tour with Sars Turismo.  I booked the tour through Viator.  Very good.  I was the only person so had a private tour.  The guide was excellent.  I learnt a lot. Really great.  English speaking guide that I requested. I was punctually picked up at 08:30 and back at my hotel by 13:00.  Tour operator was very nice and easy to communicate with when I needed to confirm the booking.  I didn't want to do just a wine tasting tour. I am not a big drinker and wanted the variety. It was great! Wine, chocolate and olive oil. Be prepared to drink and sample!  Go on an empty stomach! Driver was nice.  Safe driving and clean transport.  Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.  

The guide and the driver picked us up and took us back to the hotel. They were a little late but nothing that compromised the trip. We shared a van with a group of American teenagers who had no concept of respect for others. First they took us to the La Cabaña chocolate factory, we can go inside the factory, learn about the manufacturing process and do a tasting. Reasonable chocolate, but it wasn't the store promised in the advertisement (Chocolezza, which we thought was the tastiest chocolate). Then it was the Pasrai olive oil factory. They only showed the museum with the machines and explained the manufacturing process. Then there was a tasting and the olive oils are very good. Then we went to the Vistantes winery. We learned the manufacturing process and then had a tasting of 5 different types of wine, all very good. The tour overall was good, the guide and driver were very friendly and attentive. We just don't like not having been informed before about the chocolate shop.

The tour and winery were very good, but the chocolate factory does not match the agency's advertisement. Guide and driver very polite.

everything very nice, the winery and the chocolate house and the driver and the guide Florencia were excelllenttttt

The experience is 100% worth it; they take us to three strategic points to learn about the activities in Mendoza. Juampi, who was our guide, is a genius, very pleasant when explaining everything.

Excellent experience, the chocolate shop was very good, the part about olive oil extraction was interesting, and the final touch with the wine tasting at Vistandes was great, with guide Pablo and driver Mario being top-notch.

We very much liked the experience, are places simpler, small, but a very pleasant surprise and excellent cost/benefit. I recommend!

Very good experience. My friends and I were very happy with the experience!!

A wonderful experience we went with Fabrício thinks in a wonderful guide dear and polite he deserves note a thousand, very attentive we love! Super recommend to all!!

Sars tourism a luxury your excursions The experience of chocolates in the factory of very well served alfajores Luxurious off-the-shelf Vistandes winery with excellent art exhibition The olivicola PASRAI A pleasure is guided by the tasting and the atmosphere of cordiality

Mario, the driver and guide, is great and quickly shows you the important points while mixing the experiences of vineyard, olive oil factory and chocolate. Super comfortable and 100% recommended

Excellent tour and good attention from Mario. Everywhere we went was very interesting and allowed me to get to know Mendoza and his customs.

Excellent experience, very friendly guide and driver. Can be done with school children Super suitable duration time

The best experience you can live to know part of the local industry. Chocolates, Olives and Wine the best combination.

We did the high mountain tour and the half day tour of vineyard, chocolate and olive. Everything was perfect, punctuality, Service, attention, information. Our driver was Nico and the Gabi guide, geniuses. Good disposition, humor, and continuous information
