The art of wine at the foot of the Andes
A private 5-day immersion in the world's most awarded wineries, with signature dining and vineyard lodging. The art of wine at the foot of the Andes.
Unlike a conventional tour, this experience already includes, in its final rate, a paired gourmet lunch of up to five courses with top-tier wines every single day: the table at Susana Balbo, Kaiken’s “Sobrevolando los Andes” menu, the criollo asado at Los Coirones and the “Polígonos” tasting menu at Zuccardi Piedra Infinita.
One itinerary, planned down to the last detail, through the world’s most awarded wineries — Catena Zapata, Zuccardi Valle de Uco, Monteviejo — with private transfers from start to finish. The only thing you choose is where to sleep: among the vines, in a heritage residence or in the heart of the city.
The itinerary
VIP airport welcome and private transfer. Wine and Music Experience at Catena Zapata: a sensory journey through the winery's pyramid. Lunch at Susana Balbo: a five-course menu with signature pairings.
Private transfer into vineyard country. Visit to Bodega Anaia: an immersive architectural experience with a five-step tasting accompanied by bites from the chef. Lunch at Bodega Kaiken: the three-course "Sobrevolando los Andes" menu. Free afternoon to enjoy your hotel.
The Los Coirones horseback ride, a full-day experience: welcome coffee in the mountains, a guided ride through Andean foothill landscapes (5 to 6 hours) and a traditional three-course lunch — clay-oven empanadas, an authentic criollo asado, local desserts and wines.
Full-day private transfer to the Uco Valley. Visit to Bodega Monteviejo for the Petite Fleur tasting: art and high-scoring wines. Lunch at Zuccardi Valle de Uco (Piedra Infinita): the tasting menu with the "Polígonos" pairing at the world's most awarded winery.
A morning at your own pace and a private transfer to the airport, with the last glass still fresh in your memory.

We did a horseback ride and a wine tour with lunch. Both experiences were wonderful. Marlene was attentive throughout, always offering alternatives to our taste. Everything went as agreed and the places we visited were beautiful. 100% recommended!
Our trip to Mendoza was perfectly organized by Bruno. He was always attentive to planning everything the way we wanted, and his replies were quick and spot-on. The vineyard we visited was beautiful, the food exquisite, and skiing in the snow was extraordinary.
