    Excellent

    Both the vineyard and lunch are sensational, I highly recommend. The wines served are those of the gran line, which are superior.

    Pulenta ⁇ , Suzana Balbo 😁

    I thought that the visit to the Pulenta cellar left a little to be desired for the price of the Vacation Package, as Susana Balbo was perfect, everything very good and harmonized with the wines. But I found it a bit expensive compared to other tours

    Marking Experience

    The Pulenta cellar was an excellent choice. The place is beautiful, the wines are wonderful and the reception and reception staff are very attentive. Highlight to Maria who was our receptive of visit and tasting, she is very kind, cordial and deeply acquainted with the wines and products of the cellar.

    Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $280 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 Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo?

    +

    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 Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo?

    +

    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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo 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 Visit Pulenta Estate Winery and Gourmet Lunch at Susana Balbo?

    +

    Included: Lunch with Wine Pairing; Winery View with Wine Tasting; and Private transportation. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
