What makes our service unique, is our quality as guides and as a person. Our team is made up of highly educated people, warm, and wine lovers. No detail is small for us. You will be visiting three beautiful wineries, at the first two, you will taste excellent wines, and a paired lunch with wines at the last one, in Lujan de Cuyo. The wineries we choose are different every day, but our style is to show you a good mix of family-run wineries, old and traditional, a boutique. We prefer to visit wineries we know the owner is around, where the visit is guided by passionate people like we are. Please notice the wineries may change due to availability than the listed ones. Our English/ Portuguese is pretty good, and we usually like talking about a lot more than just wines, our knowledge of Argentine culture and history is wide, and we consider ourselves ambassadors of our country. We know you will enjoy the day, and we are looking forward to you loving Mendoza as much as we do!

A day of fine wines and fine weather
An excellent day with great wines, hosts and venues. Finca Ambrosia was notable for the quality of its wines and the passion and enthusiasm of our host, Juan. Viamonte has the most spectacular setting of the 3 wineries, and Clos de Chacras provided a pleasant and relaxed setting for the paired lunch. Special thanks must be given to our driver, Chris, who organised the return of a credit card that we'd left at an Uco Valley winery on the previous day.

Tour operator did not show up
Booked a tour and tour operator did not show up. Waited 30 minutes and contact number does not work.
Response from the operator: Hi Diego, — I'm really sorry for the frustration this caused. That said, I do want to clarify what happened, because I think there was a genuine mix-up with the booking date. The original reservation was actually made for three days later, which is why my guide wasn't there that day. I also want to address the contact issue — our WhatsApp (+54 9261 571 1440) is always on and always reachable. If you had trouble getting through, please don't hesitate to use it directly next time. That said, I took full responsibility for the confusion. I offered to reschedule the tour for the very next day at a discounted rate, and a full refund was issued regardless. We're a small boutique operation and we genuinely care about every single guest. I hope you'll give us another shot — I promise the experience will be worth it. Cheers, Damian

Lujan de Cuyo 3 wineries & lunch (only 2 were toured)
Our driver Agustin was great. 5* for him. Juan from Fica Ambrosia was spectacular. With a great knowledge of the wines Ambrosia sells, gave his a history of the area and everything was perfect. Casarena was also very good and the guide was very nice and knowleadgle. Very good too. The lunch was.perfect but even though the reservation said bootle of water included and wines (5 courses paired with wines) was included, they wanted to charge us 86,000 arg pesos for the wine tasting. The reservation says wine tasti g at 3 wi eries, but they take you only to 2 wineries. I should receive a refund for the 1 winery we did not.go to.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words about Agustín and Juan from Finca Ambrosia — we'll make sure to pass them along! We're also glad you enjoyed Casarena. We'd like to clarify what happened at Clos de Chacras. Your reservation included a paired lunch with wines — that wine pairing throughout the meal is the included tasting experience. The winery tour, which is after lunch, is offered by the staff, at no charge. Your tour also did include three wineries — Finca Ambrosia, Casarena, and Clos de Chacras — so no visit was missed. The winery tour at Clos de Chacras is always offered, though most guests are happy to relax and enjoy the meal after a wonderful morning of tastings! Regarding the charge mentioned, we'd like to look into this further and will follow up with you privately to clarify what happened. We hope to welcome you back on a future tour!

The perfect wine tour
The perfect day and experience. This was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Firstly the tour group allowed us to change days last minute and organised this with no fuss. On the day itself we were picked up in a really comfortable car and driven to the vineyards. Our driver Agustin was awesome - super friendly and engaging. Made sure we were looked after all day. It ended up being just the 2 of us on the first vineyard tour and we were treated so well. Frank who walked us round had set up wines in different areas of the vineyard rather than one tasting room. The wines were delicious, the views and settings amazing and frank was awesome. We then went onto the 2nd and again had an awesome time. We were joined by one other person but the tour was really well done and we learned a lot about the 2nd vineyards history. Their wine was incredible. The 3rd winery for lunch was beautiful and the food was amazing. A delicious 5 course lunch all served with wine for each course. We thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone staying in Mendoza.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review and for choosing us for such a special moment of your honeymoon. I’m glad we could accommodate the last-minute change of day and make everything easy and smooth. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the Luján de Cuyo and Maipú experience, and that Agustín took such good care of you throughout the day. I’ll also share your kind words with Frank—what a fantastic way to taste wines around the vineyard, with those beautiful views and settings. Thank you again for recommending the tour. If you come back to Mendoza, we’d love to host you again. Cheers, Claudio.

Worth every penny for an awesome day in Lujan de Cayo
This was a great day trip. Cristobal picked us up at our hotel, and gave us a lot of fun & interesting information as we drove to Lujan and between wineries. No translation problems at all, and he had a lot of positive energy. He was clearly proud of his region. The wineries were all very different, and each tour focused on something unique (bio-sustainability, concrete tank fermentation, generational winemaking). I like that Viator provided the names of the wineries we would visit, as that helped me research each of them in advance. Robert was our driver and did an amazing job. Lunch and the tasting was leisurely and informative. I'd highly recommend this experience!
Response from the operator: Thanks for your kind review, Janine! Im glad you enjoyed Cristobal guiding, he is a great guide! I hope to guide you next time, either in Mendoza or Santiago, Chile. Cheers, Claudio Damian

Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $215 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 Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 54 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 Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & 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 Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch?
+
Around 19 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & 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 Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch?
+

Does Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 130 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & 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.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lujan & Maipu - The Best WineTour & Lunch?
