About this experience
What makes our service unique, is our quality as guides and as a person. Our team is made up of highly educated people, warm people, and wine lovers. No detail is small for us.
You will be visiting two beautiful wineries, and you will taste excellent wines. For lunch, we will take you to some of the great venues.
The wineries we choose are different every day, but our style is to show you a good mix of family-run wineries, old and traditional, and boutique. We prefer to visit wineries we know the owner is around, where the visit is guided by passionate people like we are.
Please notice the winery's availability may change, but the style and quality will be similar to the listed.
Our English/ Portuguese is pretty good, and we usually like talking about a lot more than just wines, our knowledge of Argentine culture and history is wide, and we consider ourselves ambassadors of our country.
We know you will enjoy the day and will remember this experience as a highlight of your trip!
