Things to do in Mendoza, Cuyo: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings

December 17, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Known best for its wine, Mendoza is a bustling city to the east of Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. Although it draws its share of adventure travelers, lured by the climbing, skiing, hiking and rafting opportunities within an easy drive of downtown, the area’s more than 1,000 vineyards bring oenophiles in even greater numbers.

Excellent guided bike trip to 3 wineries and a local provisions supplier. Our bike guide was friendly, helpful and adaptable. All the wineries she took us to were quite different and at the smaller wineries the guides were splendid - knowledgeable, proud of their family achievements in running their businesses and amazingly friendly. We laughed a lot and thoroughly enjoyed their company.

We did a 12 day customized trip in 2018. Found this company through Zicasso, Kieran was great arranging it all and communication was easy. Our trip started in Buenos Aires where we did a cooking class at the Argentine Experience and took a tango lesson. Our dance instructors took us out to a milongo afterwards and we ended up staying out until 2am. It was great! We felt completely immersed in the culture. We then flew to Iguazu and toured the jungle, got blasted by the falls in a boat ride and saw all the incredible creatures that live there. Our last 5 days were spent hiking in Patagonia where we trekked the Perito Moreno Glacier, visited a ranch, and then drove to El Chalten for the final days. All of our transportation was provided, all internal flights booked by Kieran, and everything was just wonderful. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations!

MY wife and I, along with another couple spent 4 amazing days in 2017 with Flor, Stephane and all the wonderful hosts. We spent days sightseeing, tasting wine and local food, horseback riding in the Andes and more! We brought home so much wine! The pricing on the wine and everything else was amazing. Each host was generous, helpful and sharing. We wanted so badly to stay longer, but we intend to return for more some day!

I was at Caché, which I found by accident, and they told me about the walk. I am glad I choose the walk through the park. Erica, my guide, contacted me a day before to ensure everything was in order. I met Erica at the main gate of the park where we started our walk. The park is very large so you may need a full day to explore. Erica told me lots of interesting facts about the park and about the history of Mendoza. We walked for about two hours and finished at Caché for a glass of wine.
