After 3 years of guiding travelers through Mendoza and listening closely to their feedback, I built this program around the very best the region has to offer - nothing generic, nothing filler. Every winery was chosen for its top-tier tasting, not just its name; every dinner, including a Michelin-recognized table, is genuinely the best available, not just the easiest to book.
This trip is designed for travelers who aren't counting pesos, but do count their days: no research, no logistics, no stitching together wineries and restaurants into a plan that actually flows. I've already done that — six days, carefully paced between full-immersion tasting days and slower, restorative ones, so the trip never feels rushed or exhausting.
Since I'm a local guide, not a travel agency, every detail is open to discussion. I'll personally meet you at the airport, and I'm with you throughout the entire trip.
I will personally meet you at Mendoza International Airport (MDZ) — this is where our journey together begins. Please do not book your flights until I've confirmed your dates and availability with you.
Your host will greet you personally at Mendoza International Airport, then lead you on one-hour city tour - visiting Mendoza's main squares and learning about the city's history along the way. From there, you'll settle in for lunch at a family-run restaurant - a home-style welcome before the wine tasting begins.
Classic Wine Tasting .At Bodega Matervini, the visit begins right in the vineyard rows, where you'll get to know their Finca Wine expression of Malbec firsthand. From there, you'll head into the winery itself — an architectural standout with sweeping glass walls — for a brief tour of the production area and barrel room. The visit closes with a guided tasting of Matervini's finest wines, sipped on the terrace with a picture-perfect view over the Mendoza countryside.
You'll check into a 4-star boutique hotel in Luján de Cuyo, and enjoy some downtime to unwind and freshen up before the evening's tasting dinner.
Your first night closes at Casa Vigil, the Michelin-recognized restaurant of celebrated winemaker Alejandro Vigil — holding both a red star for culinary excellence and a green star for sustainability. Enjoy a 5-course tasting menu, each course paired with a distinct wine, including selections from his acclaimed El Enemigo label. For those who'd like to arrive a little earlier, an optional 45-minute winery tour is available before dinner.
Your first stop of the day: sweeping views over the turquoise Potrerillos reservoir, framed by the Andes. Pause here for photos, drone shots, and a taste of traditional Argentine mate.
After a scenic drive through the mountains, take in panoramic views over the Uspallata valley before sitting down for a local lunch of traditional empanadas.
A stop at this famous natural rock bridge, one of the Andes' most iconic landmarks, with time for photos and the local souvenir shops.
Season permitting, the day continues to this symbolic monument marking the Argentina-Chile border at nearly 3,900 (12,795 feet) meters - one of the most dramatic viewpoints of the trip. (Alt. when the pass is closed: Cerro Siete Colores, a striking multicolored rock formation often compared to Martian landscapes.)
The heart of the day: step out at the foot of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, with the option of a short walk to the main viewpoint or the full trail to the end (from 40 to 90 min).
A Wildlife Drive - The journey back follows the legendary Route 52, one of the most unique stretches of the entire trip. Beyond the landscapes, keep an eye out along the way — with a bit of luck, you might spot guanacos, foxes, rheas, or even a puma in their natural habitat.
Viña Cobos — Expresión Varietal. A guided tour through the estate leads into a five-glass tasting of the Bramare and Vinculum lines — wines that reflect Viña Cobos's close relationship with the vineyard and the authenticity of each varietal. Careful blending across Mendoza's most outstanding terroirs gives each wine its own sense of place, paired throughout with harmonized bites.
A relaxed three-course lunch set against sweeping views of the Andes, each course paired with wine from the estate.
Three hours at this Andes riverside retreat, with natural thermal pools of varying temperatures, a lazy river, mud baths, and a cavern steam sauna — all set against views of the Mendoza River and surrounding mountains.
Morning Check-Out & Drive to Valle de Uco. After checking out, you'll head south on a scenic 90-minute drive into the Valle de Uco - one of Argentina's most celebrated high-altitude wine regions.
A boutique, terroir-driven winery from two of Mendoza's most talked-about young winemakers. A guided tasting of up to six glasses of small-production, high-altitude red and white wines.
No fixed schedule — just your private lodge, set within a 270-hectare vineyard, and the freedom to set your own pace. Take the mountain bikes out to nearby wineries like Bodega Corazón del Sol, play a set of padel or tennis, or simply unwind with a cocktail at Hornero's bar.
After breakfast, you'll check out and set off toward the airport with your luggage, but the day isn't over yet. Two final stops await along the way. First stop is Zuccardi. This winery was named World's Best Vineyard three years running (2019–2021) and later inducted into the Hall of Fame, with three wines rated 100 points by Robert Parker - a feat no other Argentine winery has matched. A morning tasting through one of the country's most decorated estates.
A 5-course tasting lunch to close out the trip, with Ícono wine pairings.
Our last ride together - a private drive to Mendoza International Airport, arriving with plenty of time before your flight for a proper goodbye.
