Mendoza wine country
Maipú is the closest wine region to Mendoza City and its historic heartland: old brick cellars, family wineries and the olive groves that give Mendoza its best olive oils, all within 15 to 35 minutes of downtown. It is the easy choice for a half-day tour or a first taste of Mendoza.
These are the 10 Maipú wineries we work with and the tours that combine them with olive oil tastings, a cooking class or a second winery in Luján de Cuyo.

Maipú wineries: questions before you book
How far is Maipú from Mendoza City?
Between 15 and 35 minutes by road, depending on the subzone. It is the closest wine region to downtown Mendoza, so it fits a half-day tour or an afternoon after you land.
Can I combine wineries and olive oil in one tour?
Yes. Our wine and olive tours visit two wineries and an olive oil factory, and the olive tour with lunch adds a winery meal. All of them run as private tours.
Maipú or Luján de Cuyo?
They are neighbours, so most of our tours can be planned in either. Choose Maipú for history, olive oil and short distances; choose Luján for the landmark Malbec wineries. Or mix both in one day.
Is Maipú good for a family day?
Yes. The short drives help with kids, and olive oil factories are a hit with children. Our private family tour adapts tastings and lunch to the whole group.
