What a great day! Fabricio the guide was really nice, the wineries and their staff were great. I really enjoyed the English tour with wine tasting and they make my favorite wine so i had to buy some! The other guests were friendly. Yeah just a wonderful day and I’m so glad I went. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you

For the price of this tour you are getting a great deal! We stopped at two wineries and one was an organic winery and got to walk through the vineyards and then olive oil tasting. The tour was informative and the staff were very kind. Highly recommend if you want a short option for wine tasting around Mendoza

We enjoyed it a lot. They took us to 3 wineries where we learned about the process of wine making and tasted 7 different wines. On the last one we had a very delicious dinner and learned about the process of producing olive oil. They were easy to communicate with and very professional.

Professional and very well planned trip. Easy pickup/drop off. Would definitely recommend it.
