Really good experience
I was the only person for the English tour so I had a private one. Tried many different wines on different stages of production and different types. Highly recommended
via Tripadvisor
Didn’t Quite Meet Expectations
This wine tour was a little disappointing compared to others we did in the area. While we did get some insight into the winemaking process, it didn’t feel as in-depth or engaging — especially as we had just come from a tour led by a winemaker, which really set a high standard. The guide was involved in the process, but the level of detail and overall delivery didn’t quite match what we were hoping for. As it’s a smaller winery, the experience felt a bit more limited, and unfortunately we didn’t particularly enjoy the wines either. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but it didn’t stand out and didn’t feel especially well suited for those looking for a more informative or polished wine tour.

Great wine tour
We through enjoyed this tour and the guide was excellent (sorry can’t remember his name, spoke really good English) Went into enough detail and any questions asked by the group he answered with great detail. He certainly knew his stuff. I wish we knew about the lunch beforehand as we would have done too. Would recommend and you don’t have to travel miles from Mendoza. Thank you for a great informative afternoon.

Experience the Heart and Soul of Malbec!
¡Buenísimo! ¡Maravilloso! This tour was the best! And that's thanks to Antonela, who went out of her way to be hospitable as we waited for our tour to begin and did an absolutely amazing job leading our tour in English. First, she taught us how to look at, smell, and taste a wine. Then she explained things we had never heard about the wine- making process and gave us samples of malbec wines at different stages - in the tank, from the barrel, and then after aging in the bottle. Wow!

The tour was ok, the food was great
It was a good experience, I wish there was some sort of pick up in the tour. They should also make clear that there was no lunch and if you wanted to buy lunch it would be a separate cost - it would have been good to see some of the grapes and understand the different grapes but we only saw the tanks and barrels :(

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 472 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas?
+
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 Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas?
+
Around 165 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malbec Experience in Bodega Tierras Altas 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.
