Great wine date idea
Great wine, great food paring, very informative and staff was able to explain everything both in Spanish and English without any issue. Took about an hour and a half. Best for date nights or any person that enjoys wine.

A must experience if you are a wine lover or curious about it
The experience was awesome and intimate, we were able to understand wine history in Argentina. But the most important was that we drank multiple varieties of wines which was greatly paired with delicious food. The host (Kathe) was awesome and explained why, how and when to drink each wine.
via Tripadvisor
A highly recommended journey through the identities of different Argentine wines.
Excellent! This tour offers an intimate experience, giving you the space to taste different wines and play with flavors and aromas—all strategically paired with exquisite food—while socializing with others. It is a truly warm and inviting journey through Argentina's wines. Our guide, Kathe, was delightful and funny; it was a pleasure having her accompany us on the tour. Highly recommended!

Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Essential Buenos Aires: A Journey Through Argentine Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
