About this tour:
Embark on the ultimate tasting experience on this exceptional Mendoza wine tour from Buenos Aires, which includes round-trip airfare options from Argentina’s vibrant capital. During this full-day Mendoza tour from Buenos Aires, you will be treated to exclusive visits and tastings at three reputable, famous wineries in the winemaking regions of Luján or Maipú, beautifully nestled at the foothills of the towering Andes mountains.
Your Mendoza wine tour from Buenos Aires commences with a convenient pickup at the airport or city center, after which you will head straight into the vineyards to see the production and taste the renowned Malbec wine, Argentina’s signature grape with distinguished French roots. This variety is celebrated for its opaque, inky dark color, rich black and red fruit flavors, and a smooth, velvety finish often enhanced with notes of chocolate and sweet tobacco. The specific tasting notes you experience may vary, featuring hints of blackberry, black cherry, plum, cocoa powder, or violet flowers.
The unique combination of local high-altitude vineyards and the sunny, dry climate found in the Andes foothills allows this thick-skinned grape to ripen fully while maintaining excellent natural acidity. You will witness and taste the results of these ideal conditions during your visit to three celebrated wineries spanning Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. Luján is proudly known as the “noble birthplace” of Malbec, while Maipú boasts the distinction of being the historic cradle of winemaking in Argentina.
The excursion part of this experience lasts approximately nine hours. You will thoroughly enjoy multiple premium wine tastings, culminating in a delicious, sophisticated lunch served at one of these famous wineries. During the scenic transfers between vineyards, you will savor spectacular views along the way, marveling at the captivating landscapes of meticulously maintained vineyards set against the backdrop of towering Andean peaks. This is far more than just wine tasting; participants gain a profound understanding of the history of winemaking in this globally significant region.
After the sightseeing and tastings conclude, your driver will ensure a comfortable transfer back to the airport for your flight back to the Argentinian capital.
