    Bad Experience !!!!

    I did not have the experience!!!! The local partner, BIG TRIP, cancelled the tour 3 times!!!!! I reserved for September, 8th (My birthday) and they cancelled. Cancelled also in Sep 9 and 10. I am very disappointed!!! PLEASE GIVE MY MONEY BACK

    Response from the operator: We value your feedback, Sergio. The reservation fee was never charged. Also, for the sake of clarity, it was you who declined to visit Catena Zapata on the 9th and 10th. Accuracy in reviews is important to avoid confusion. Best regards, and have a nice day.

    Reconfirm before you commit!!

    Be careful. They change the itinerary last minute. The main visit to Catena Zapata was cancelled the day before, and replaced with other wineries, when I had already purchased airline tickets precisely for the Catena tour.

    Response from the operator: Victor, thank you for your feedback, although we believe it doesn't reflect our experience. We value all opinions. Have a good day.

    Fantastic wine experience in Mendoza.

    Monica made our day a very enjoyable experience. She is a happy, fun and knowledgeable guide. The tour and tasting experience at Zapata are first class and the stops at the other two wineries were enjoyable. Thanks Monica for making our day!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you! 🙂

    Misleading winery tour and poor follow-up

    I booked this tour because it clearly included visits to Catena Zapata, Bodega Norton and Bodega Séptima. The visit to Catena Zapata was excellent and definitely the highlight of the day. However, the rest of the experience did not match the description. Bodega Norton was replaced by Bodega Trivento without any prior notice. At both Séptima and Trivento, we only received a single glass of wine, with no winery visit or explanation. At Trivento, there was not even the possibility of a self-guided visit, as only the wine bar area was open. At Séptima, the visit presentation included access to the cellar, but the cellar itself was closed to visitors, so this part of the experience was not provided. This is quite misleading, as the tour is advertised as a winery visit experience. In reality, only one proper visit was delivered. I contacted the tour operator after the tour to request an explanation, but I did not receive any follow-up or solution. I understand that unexpected issues can happen, but guest should be informed in advance and offered an equivalent experience or proper support afterwards. Overall, disappointing due to the lack of transparency and customer service.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback , but we believe the rating doesn't reflect the service provided. However, we value all opinions. Regards

    Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.

    How much does Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $284 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch?

    +

    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 Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch?

    +

    Around 22 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. 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 Mendoza?

    +

    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 Mendoza?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch?

    +

    Included: Tasting in all wineries; Lunch; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Guided Tour in Catena Zapata + lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
