    Fun horseback riding and scenic views

    The horseback riding was fun. The views of the Andes were great because we had a clear day. Our initial guide spoke great English and was very enthusiastic. After the 1.5 hour horseback riding. We were given a lunch at a nice winery.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Joe. The horseback through the vineyards is my personal favorite. Happy travels!

    Best tour company EVER!

    I can not recommend this your company enough! We were picked up from the airport at 6:45am and then taken to do a city tour. After that we went horseback riding through the gorgeous countryside. We rode through streams with the mountains in the background. Riding was followed by the perfect lunch at a small vineyard. The attention to detail and flexibility this company offered us was like nothing I have experienced before. 10/10 would recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Jill. We try our best. Happy travels!

    Highly recommend!

    This was an amazing experience. Our guide, driver, and gaucho were all gracious and knowledgeable. The views were breathtaking. The lunch at the winery was amazing and the wine was so good, we bought some bottles to take home. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you! Much appreciated. There are lots of horse back riding options in Mendoza but many are lowv budget trails through desert scrubland. We go through vineyards, orchards, olivegroves and Mendoza river bed. Followed by lunch in a winery. Happy travels!

    A fun and safe horse riding experience in Mendoza!

    This was a great tour! Our tour guide Pablo was so friendly and knowledgeable about the region, and Christian was a safe driver. The horse riding was a lot of fun, even as a beginner, as Cesar calmed any nerves. The views were beautiful. Lunch at Club Tapiz was lovely. Trout and Wine tours were easy to deal with, and very flexible with pick up and drop off to my accommodation door in Chacras de Coria. Highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you! Many people choose to horseride in the sun blasted mountains. We prefer the shady olive groves, orchards and vineyards of Lunlunta, topped by a delicious lunch with tasting menu. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 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 Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 70 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 Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet 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 Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet lunch?

    +

    Around 25 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback ride through vineyards followed by gourmet 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.
