Mendoza Wine Tours and Andes Adventures

Winery Tours with Tastings

The three wineries and olive oil factory tour is the most booked activity in Mendoza, six hours through the Maipú vineyards with tastings at each stop. The small-group tour of the best wineries adds lunch at the last one, and the Uco Valley wine day with a three-course lunch and private driver is the top-rated way to reach the high-altitude estates.

Horseback Rides and Barbecue

The sunset horseback ride in the mountains with barbecue is the highest-rated experience in the region: an afternoon ride through the foothills, then asado and wine as the light goes. The shorter horseback ride with authentic barbecue is the daytime version.

The High Andes and Aconcagua

The Andes high mountain full-day tour follows the road toward Chile past Puente del Inca to the viewpoint for Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas. The Aconcagua and Puente del Inca excursion covers the same route with a different operator.

Cooking Classes and Harvest Time

The cooking class with seven recipes and bottomless drinks is the rainy-day option. Harvest runs from February to April and is the liveliest time at the wineries; book tastings ahead then. Most tours cancel free up to 24 hours before.
