What our customers ask about Wine tasting Tours & Trips in Argentina
What wine varieties should I expect to taste in Argentina?
The wine tasting experience in Argentina centers on Malbec from Mendoza and Torrontés from Cafayate. During tours you'll also taste other varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon Bonarda and Chardonnay. A TourRadar traveler shared: "In Mendoza, we loved tasting different Malbec varieties at Pulenta and Vistalba while Cafayate introduced us to exceptional Torrontés whites we'd never experienced before."
What makes Argentina's wine regions unique compared to other wine destinations?
The defining feature of Argentina's wine regions is their elevation. Mendoza's vineyards grow at 2,000-4,000 feet while Cafayate's reach up to 6,000 feet above sea level. These high-altitude conditions paired with the Andes Mountains backdrop and distinct soil types create wines with unique characteristics. A TourRadar traveler remarked: "The setting was absolutely incredible - tasting world-class wines while surrounded by the snow-capped Andes created an unforgettable experience."
When is the best time to visit Argentina's wine regions for wine tasting?
February through April marks the ideal wine tasting period in Argentina during the harvest season especially in Mendoza's Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley regions. Temperatures hover between 75-85°F creating excellent conditions for vineyard tours and outdoor tastings. A TourRadar traveler noted "The autumn colors in the vineyards during March were spectacular and the weather was perfect for both wine tasting and exploring." Wineries like Bodegas Re and Haras de Pirque offer harvest activities while the Park Hyatt Mendoza serves as a luxury base for wine tours.
What are the must-visit wineries in Mendoza for wine tasting?
The key stops in Mendoza include Santa Rita Winery in Maipo Valley with its historic "Cellar of 120 Patriots" and Pérez Cruz known for modern architecture set against rural landscapes. The Uco Valley located 100km from Mendoza city stands out for high-altitude vineyards producing notable Malbecs. A TourRadar traveler shared "The visit to Luján de Cuyo wineries was exceptional - the professional guides provided detailed explanations about wine-making processes and architecture." The Cavas Wine Lodge in Luján de Cuyo offers luxury accommodation with easy access to top wineries and Andes views.
How should I plan a multi-day wine tasting itinerary in Argentina?
Plan for 4-7 days to fully explore Mendoza's wine regions. Begin in Luján de Cuyo sampling traditional Malbecs then move to the high-altitude vineyards of Uco Valley. A TourRadar traveler recommended "Spending three days in Mendoza allowed us to explore different wine regions thoroughly - from traditional wineries to modern boutique establishments." Use the Sheraton Mendoza Hotel as your base while visiting wineries like Haras de Pirque and Santa Rita. Include breaks between tastings to explore local culture and food in Mendoza's city center.
How far in advance should I book a wine tasting tour in Argentina?
Make reservations 4-6 months ahead especially for visits during harvest season (February-April). Premium hotels like the Park Hyatt Mendoza and popular wineries often reach capacity early. A TourRadar traveler advised "We booked our Mendoza wine tour 5 months ahead and were glad we did - many premium tastings at places like Santa Rita were fully booked closer to the date." Harvest season tours featuring special activities at wineries like Bodegas Re and Haras de Pirque need early booking to guarantee spots.
