Visit three Maipú wineries and an olive mill for bilingual tastings, regional insight, and excellent value in a relaxed half-day tour.
“The experience was conducted completely in English. It involves visiting three different Bodegas, each with their own history and charm. It was very interesting to learn about the wine making industry in the region and to see the contrast between a boutique winery, a family business and a much more modern operation.”
Cook seven Argentine dishes in a Mendoza home kitchen with local hosts, wine, cocktails, recipes, and a small group capped at eight.
“We really enjoyed this personal experience. Our hosts David and Rosaria were wonderful and we had a very tasty dinner which we jointly prepared. It was a great experience to be hosted by a local family, gain insights to Argentine culture, share tidbits about our own culture over a lovely meal and Malbec (of course). I would highly recommend this activity fo anyone visiting Mendoza.”
Make empanadas, light an Argentine asado, taste Mendoza wines, and share Fernet on a local rooftop with mountain views.
“From the moment I saw the opportunity to be hosted by a Mendocino local, I knew it was perfect for our family of four. Getting to know Fede was a delight. He has managed to create a unique, hands on Asado experience on his rooftop terrace. He is a crafter of wines and a magician with meat, not to mention dessert, which is not to be missed. From the moment we made the booking he was friendly and helpful. We hope, one day, to welcome him and his lovely family into our home.”

“We had a really good few hours visiting 3 different wineries. On the first one, Bodega La Rural, we were 2 of 12 and everyone apart from us spoke Spanish. The guide did a pretty good job of making us feel included and took the time to give us some facts in English. Bodega La Rural is more of a distillery and museum than winery, and it was very interesting to learn about the history and how wine is distilled. Since we’d booked through GYG we were given an extra glass of wine to taste. Our second stop to Tempus Alba was a fabulous experience and our guide was extremely…”
