Itinerary

Upon arrival in Mendoza, one of our drivers will meet you at the bus station or airport to transfer you to your selected hotel.

Early in the morning we will pick you up to drive along the historic Route 40 towards the Uco Valley. In the southern part of this magical valley, you will find world-renowned wineries, where the high altitude vineyards give birth to internationally awarded wines. And it is from its high altitude vineyards that outstanding wines awarded by experts are born. We will tour the vineyards, the modern winemaking and storage facilities, and conclude with a tasting of selected bottles from the region. Finally, a delicious gourmet lunch will be waiting for us at the restaurant, to delight us with the pleasure of pairing flavors and textures with the best wines.

On the third day of the excursion we will continue to get to know the wonderful Uco Valley. This time we will explore the north, known as the new wine region of Mendoza. Accompanied by expert guides, and with the Cordon del Plata as a backdrop, we will visit 3 outstanding wineries in the region discovering their different ways of winemaking and the family secrets to cultivate award-winning vines worldwide. Later, under the guidance of the winery's chef, we will enjoy a gourmet lunch paired with exquisite varietals.

This day we have something special. Riding through the Mendoza landscape on horseback is an experience that will connect us with nature, geology and the traditions of the region like no other. You don't need to be an expert rider! Accompanied by local gauchos, we will ride tame animals on a 2 to 4 hour horseback ride while enjoying the spectacular surroundings of the Andes Mountains. On the way back, we will be waiting for you with a delicious asado (barbecue) and then return to Mendoza.

On the last day of your trip you will have free time to explore the city. If you wish, you can hire a guided tour to get to know the local culture in depth. Then, at the agreed time, we will take you to the airport or bus terminal for your return home.

Special clothing: comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather forecast and footwear suitable for the activity.

Safety tips: Inform the guide or driver about any illness, allergy or physical restriction. Remember to bring your medication and administration instructions.
