6 Days Mendoza Private Guided Tour

About this activity

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.
