Best wine tour in the region
Outstanding day with Ezekiel in the Uco Valley. Beautiful viewpoints of the area and wine tasting at an incredible boutique winery: Michelini I muffato. Then a delicious lunch with wine pairing at Andeluna winery. My husband and I had a great day.
Response from the operator: Thank you Irina. I'm glad it went so well.

Great tour through the...
Great tour through the mountains from Ricky. Amazing time at Escala Humana, very welcoming people, incredible views from the winery, informative tour, and great wine. Rough end to the trip at Andeluna - both the staff and wine were offensive. Good food though.
Response from the operator: Hi Brandon. How unfortunate such a great day was ruined by the one winery. We welcome the feedback and will act upon it. Thank you for choosing to tour with us.

Memorable experience in Mendoza!!
When we decided to go to Mendoza, we were looking for a memorable experience since it's unlikely we will make it back. A private tour was a must in my opinion so that we could relax and fully enjoy the day without distractions. Our guide, Ricardo, met us at the hotel right on time and we set off on our amazing tour. This tour not only includes wine...I missed the mountain part when I booked this, and that was really one of the most wonderful aspects of this tour. Ricardo and our driver took a majestically scenic route to reach our first winery. We first saw the Embalse Potrerillos and then headed into the mountains. It was a cloudy day, and I was worried that we wouldn't see anything, but we got above the clouds and WHAT A VIEW!! After the ride through the mountains, we made our way to Atamisque bodega and had a tour and tasting. Our guide was wonderful and the wine was fantastic. Lunch was at Andeluna and we had superb food and a bit too much wine (but that's what it's about) and then made our way back to Mendoza. Ricardo was wonderful and provided us with an overview of the history of wine in the region and much more about the culture, history, and geography of the region and Argentina. He knows A LOT and he could answer pretty much any question with a thoughtful and thorough reply. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Keep in mind that wineries may change based on the itinerary and perhaps time of year. We were there at the beginning of winter, not ideal timing, but nonetheless this tour gave us the full experience we were looking for. Thank you Ricardo and Trout & Wine!!

Trout & Wine w/ Ricardo...
Trout & Wine w/ Ricardo as our guide was beyond phenomenal! You will regret it if you don’t do the Mountain & Wine Tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you Michelle. I'm glad you had such a good time. Yes, on this tour we go to Uco Valley through the mountains in a SUV. It's unique and special. Safe travels !

Book this tour!!!
Agostina was the best guide, friendly and personable! Ovaldo drove us to 3 different vineyards. Each vineyard provided us with (heavy) pours of wine, and snacks. The last venue had a wonderful lunch prepared. Definitely would do this tour again. Worth a whole lot more than the price imo. Thanks Trout & Wine!
Response from the operator: Thank you Caitlin. We try our best!

Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $340 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 & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 118 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 Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with 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 Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with Gourmet Lunch?
+
Around 41 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malbec & Mountain Uco Valley Private Wine Tour with 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.
