Wine tasting
Our tour guide was great and so was the experience. You're provided a small tasting of five wines and after the tasting your provided five more tastings with cheese pairings. The sommelier was very informative
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with us. Our team works hard to make our wine experiences both delicious and educational, so it’s wonderful to know you appreciated our sommelier's insights and enjoyed the progression of the tastings—from the initial notes to the cheese pairings! We will gladly pass along your compliments to both your guide and the sommelier. Thank you for choosing Foodies Perú, and we hope to raise a glass with you again in the future! Cheers, The Foodies Perú Team

Wonderful wine tasting of small batch Peruvian Wines
This is a fun wine tasting of various Peruvian wines. All the wines were great! I would recommend the adventure BUT there really is no Tapas. It is a selection of Peruvian cheeses that are good but really no guidance on how to pare to the wine.
Response from the operator: ¡Gracias por tu comentario y por la calificación de 4 estrellas! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la cata de vinos y que los vinos te parecieron geniales. Lamentamos que no hayas encontrado las tapas como esperabas. Es cierto que ofrecemos una selección de quesos peruanos, y tomamos en cuenta tu sugerencia de ofrecer más orientación sobre cómo maridar los quesos con los vinos. ¡Tomaremos en cuenta tu feedback para mejorar la experiencia! Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente y ofrecerte una experiencia aún más completa.

An Amazing Time had by all!
I brought 11 family members here and it was a wonderful time! I highly recommend this tour and the wines were excellent. The staff were extremely fun and accommodating. Well done!
Response from the operator: Hola Tamika, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re especially happy to know that you joined us on December 30, and that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Diego, part of our local expert team, was in charge of picking you up and dropping you off at the Hilton Hotel, so you could fully relax and enjoy the experience without any logistics worries. The wine tasting itself was led by Sofía, our professional sommelier, who carefully guided you through each wine, sharing stories, flavors, and cultural insights that make Peruvian and South American wines so special. Creating immersive, high-quality culinary experiences is exactly what we aim for, especially for travelers from the U.S. who are looking for authentic food and wine experiences in Lima beyond the typical tourist routes. Thank you again for choosing us to be part of your trip to Peru. We truly hope to welcome you back for another unique gastronomic experience in Lima on your next visit! Warm regards, Foodies Perú Experience Team

You cannot visit Lima without doing this tour!
This was one of the best experiences we have had so far in Lima! We were greeted in the hotel by the most friendly person we have met so far on our trip. We got into the car and got a personalized driving tour and saw incredible sights. We then were taken for an amazing wine tasting with a lovely Peruvian wine connoisseur who told us all about the wines and the country which these were paired great with some tapas. All in all it was an amazing experience and we would recommend it to anyone as Adrian, Diego and Felipe were the best part of our entire experience! 100/10!
Response from the operator: Hola Lindsey and Kathryn! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing review! 🌟 We are truly delighted to hear that this was one of the best experiences you’ve had so far in Lima. Our mission at Foodies Perú is to create memorable and authentic Peruvian gastronomic experiences, and knowing that the personalized driving tour, the wine tasting, and the tapas pairing with our local connoisseur exceeded your expectations fills us with joy. Adrián, Diego, and Felipe will be thrilled to know they made such a positive impact on your trip. For us, the best part of every experience is not only showcasing Peruvian food and wine but also connecting with travelers and sharing the culture, history, and hospitality that make Peru so special. Beyond wine tastings, we also offer a wide variety of food tours in Lima for visitors who want to explore more flavors of the city. These include gastronomic tours in Miraflores, Barranco, Surquillo’s traditional market, and the Historic Center of Lima, each designed to give travelers an authentic taste of Peruvian cuisine. And for those planning to visit the Andes, we also have unique food and wine experiences in Cusco, where guests can discover the rich culinary traditions of the region. We truly appreciate your kind recommendation to other travelers searching for things to do in Lima and looking for the best food tours in Peru. Reviews like yours inspire us to keep creating unforgettable culinary journeys for everyone who visits. We hope to welcome you back soon so you can enjoy even more of what makes Peru a world-class destination for food lovers. 🍷🍴🇵🇪

Don’t book last minute
They never showed up or responded to pick up. We sent a text to ask if pick up was actually at a specific time; it was never responded to. When we called to ask if we were going to be picked up, the phone number didn’t exist.
Response from the operator: Hi Amanda and Renee, First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been for you, and I’m truly sorry this situation affected your trip. As we explained to you via WhatsApp, your reservation was made today at 2:23 pm. Unfortunately, Viator should stop accepting same-day reservations after 2:00 pm, since we need more time to properly organize each gastronomic experience. On top of that, we did not receive a notification from Viator about your booking, which made it impossible for us to arrange your pick-up and prepare in advance. We take great pride in our service, and as you can see in the reviews, Foodies Perú is recognized among the best food tours in Lima, offering unique culinary experiences such as wine tastings, cooking classes, and walking food tours in Barranco, Miraflores, and the Historic Center. We would love the opportunity to host you properly on another date so you can truly enjoy what we do best: sharing authentic Peruvian gastronomy. Since we were not able to execute the experience as planned, we still tried to assist by sharing recommendations of nearby restaurants close to your hotel and even offered to organize private transportation for your pick-up and return. Once again, I deeply apologize for this misunderstanding, and I appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier 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 Lima is not rushed.
Is Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier?
+
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 Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier 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 Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier?
+
Around 6 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 Lima 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 Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Gourmet Wine & Cheese Tasting in Lima with Sommelier 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 Lima 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 Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs.. 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 Lima?
+
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 Lima?
+
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.
