    1. Mendoza

      Our Mendoza food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Mendoza tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegan, halal diets, gluten and lactose intolerance as the tastings would be very limited. ✔ Vegetarian, pescatarian, no pork, mild nut allergies and possible though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited ✔ Suitable for no seafood diets

      Explore Mendoza after dark on a nightly 4-hour food tour through the city centre, with 12+ tastings from markets, vermuterías, and local eateries. This experience focuses on where locals gather in the evening to eat, drink, and socialise.
 Start with lighter bites like pastries and dulce de leche alfajores, along with Malbec-infused chocolate, a reflection of the local wine industry. Move onto savoury staples such as freshly baked empanadas and slices of Argentine-style pizza. Along the way, snack on local favourites like caramelised peanuts, olives, and lupin beans.
 There’s a stop at a traditional vermutería for vermouth with soda, paired with small plates like croquettes and chickpea pie, before the evening builds to its centrepiece: a local parrilla. Here, meats are cooked over open flames, including chorizo, morcilla, and ribs, served with a glass of Mendoza’s signature Malbec.

    Great experience and wonderful perspective of Mendoza

    The tour and our guides provided us with a wonderful perspective of Mendoza, that we now wish we had booked at the start of our stay in the city. It was great to try the different local specialities as well as walk through and be oriented to different neighborhoods in Mendoza. The tour was carefully curated and well paced - we really enjoyed it and highly recommend!

    Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 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 Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings?

    +

    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 Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mendoza Meals Food Tour with 12+ Tastings start and how do I get there?

    +

    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.
