The Idea

“After years of guiding travelers through Mendoza and listening closely to their feedback, I built this program around the places that never leave anyone indifferent. Every winery was chosen because it's genuinely worth your time, not just because of its name; every dinner, including a Michelin-recognized table, is a place I'd send my own family to, not just the easiest to book.

This trip is for travelers who don't want to spend their vacation planning it. I've already chased down the reservations, mapped out which wineries and restaurants actually work together in a day, and kept it private — just your group, not a bus full of strangers. Six days, carefully paced between full-immersion days and slower, restorative ones, so the trip never feels rushed or exhausting.

Since I'm a local guide, not a travel agency, every detail is open to discussion. I'll personally meet you at the airport, and I'm with you throughout the entire trip.”

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Mendoza

Welcome Into Wine Country

Personal Airport Welcome & City Tour

I'll greet you personally at Mendoza International Airport, then lead you on a relaxed, one-hour city tour: visiting Mendoza's main squares and learning about the city's history along the way.

Welcome Lunch

Lunch at a family-run restaurant — a relaxed, home-style welcome before the wine tasting begins.

Bodega Matervini vineyard and winery

Bodega Matervini — Classic Wine Tasting

The visit begins right in the vineyard rows, where you'll get to know Matervini's Finca Wine expression of Malbec firsthand. From there, into the winery itself — an architectural standout with sweeping glass walls — for a brief tour of the production area and barrel room. The visit closes with a guided tasting on the terrace, overlooking the Mendoza countryside.

Huellas de Chacras, boutique lodging entrance

Hotel Check-In & Rest — Huellas de Chacras

4-star boutique tiny-house hotel in Chacras de Coria — gated grounds, private plunge pools, garden views. Time to unwind before dinner.

Intimate dinner table setting

Dinner at Casa Vigil — "5 Steps" Tasting Menu

A Michelin-recognized restaurant from celebrated winemaker Alejandro Vigil — a red star for culinary excellence and a green star for sustainability. A 5-course tasting menu, each course paired with a distinct wine, including selections from his acclaimed El Enemigo label. An optional 45-minute winery tour is available before dinner.

Day 2

Aconcagua

Full-Day Excursion to the Highest Peak in the Americas
Potrerillos reservoir

Potrerillos Reservoir Viewpoints

Sweeping views over the turquoise Potrerillos reservoir, framed by the Andes. Pause here for photos, drone shots, and a taste of traditional Argentine mate.

Uspallata valley

Uspallata Valley & Local Lunch

Panoramic views over the Uspallata valley, with lunch in Uspallata for traditional empanadas — in my opinion the best in all of Mendoza — and a flexible dinner, either there or back in the city, depending on pace. Plus snacks along the way, so you won't go hungry.

Puente del Inca natural rock bridge

Puente del Inca

A stop at this famous natural rock bridge, one of the Andes' most iconic landmarks, with time for photos and the local souvenir shops.

Aconcagua viewpoint

Aconcagua Provincial Park

The heart of the day: step out at the foot of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, with the option of a short walk to the main viewpoint or the full trail to the end.

Guanaco in the Andes

Return to Mendoza via Route 52 — A Wildlife Drive in Provincial Park

One of the most unique stretches of the entire trip. Beyond the landscapes, keep an eye out along the way — with a bit of luck, you might spot guanacos, foxes, rheas, or even a puma in their natural habitat.

Day 3

Luján de Cuyo

Wineries & Thermal Hot Springs
Viña Cobos winery and vineyards

Viña Cobos — Expresión Varietal

A guided tour through the estate leads into a five-glass tasting of the Bramare and Vinculum lines — wines that reflect Viña Cobos's close relationship with the vineyard and the authenticity of each varietal, paired throughout with harmonized bites.

Bodega Ojo de Agua — Winery Lunch

A relaxed three-course lunch set against sweeping views of the Andes, each course paired with wine from the estate.

Cacheuta thermal springs

Cacheuta Thermal Springs

Three hours at this Andes riverside retreat, with natural thermal pools of varying temperatures, a lazy river, mud baths, and a cavern steam sauna. The perfect midpoint reset between two intense wine days.

Dinner at the Winery

An evening tasting dinner at a hand-picked bodega.

Day 4

Valle de Uco

Wine Trail Through Argentina's High-Altitude Region

Morning Check-Out & Drive to Valle de Uco

After checking out, you'll head south on a scenic 90-minute drive into the Valle de Uco — one of Argentina's most celebrated high-altitude wine regions.

Michelini I Mufatto — Trinchera

A boutique, terroir-driven winery from two of Mendoza's most talked-about young winemakers. A guided tasting of up to six glasses of small-production, high-altitude red wines.

Salentein / Huentala Wines

A visit to one of Valle de Uco's architectural landmark wineries, with a guided tour and tasting in a striking cellar setting.

Domaine Bousquet — Light Lunch

An easy, organic-focused lunch surrounded by vineyards at one of Mendoza's leading organic wine estates.

Horseback riding through the vineyards

Horseback Riding & Asado

The afternoon shifts pace entirely: a horseback ride through the vineyards followed by a traditional Argentine asado, Mendoza's most authentic culinary tradition.

Vineyard views near La Morada Lodge, Valle de Uco

Overnight — La Morada Lodge

Vineyard tiny-house lodge in Valle de Uco — private hot tubs, panoramic Andes views, total silence.

Day 5

Leisure Day

Among the Vines
Vineyard estate in Valle de Uco

Free Day at Your Wine Lodge

No fixed schedule — just your private lodge, set within a 270-hectare vineyard, and the freedom to set your own pace. Take the mountain bikes out to nearby wineries, play a set of padel or tennis, or simply unwind with a cocktail at Hornero's bar. In the evening, dinner is included at the lodge's own restaurant.

Day 6

Farewell & Departure

One Last Toast Before the Airport

Morning Check-Out & Departure Day

After breakfast, you'll check out and set off toward the airport with your luggage, but the day isn't over yet. Two final stops await along the way.

Zuccardi: Morning Tasting

A fitting final stop: Zuccardi was named World's Best Vineyard three years running (2019–2021) and later inducted into the Hall of Fame, with three wines rated 100 points by Robert Parker, a feat no other Argentine winery has matched.

Renacer: Farewell Lunch

A 5-course tasting menu to close out the trip, with optional Reserva or Ícono wine pairings for those who want to go all in one last time.

Private Transfer to the Airport

Our last ride together: a relaxed, private drive to Mendoza International Airport, arriving with plenty of time before your flight for a proper goodbye.

What Guests Say

★★★★★

“We had an outstanding experience with Mendoza Transfer and especially with Alexander during our trip this past April. We used his services for a week while touring Mendoza, including winery visits and excursions to see the spectacular rock formations and the Andes Mountains. He assisted with reservations and provided excellent recommendations throughout. Consistently pleasant, professional, reliable, and punctual, with excellent English — we truly appreciated his knowledge of the area and attention to detail.”

★★★★★

“I had a great experience with this provider during my recent trip to Mendoza. He was punctual, professional, and made the entire journey feel smooth and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how he adapted the experience to match our interests — offering insightful recommendations and helping us explore places we wouldn't have discovered on our own. His local knowledge really enriched our visit. I would happily use his services again on a future visit to the region.”

Luís D. · Jun 2025 · Read on Tripadvisor
★★★★★

“We went on a 6-day private tour in Mendoza with Alexander, and we were absolutely blown away by the experience! The highlight for me was our visit to Aconcagua — the drive is incredibly scenic and the mountains are truly breathtaking. The wine tastings were outstanding: every winery and restaurant was thoughtfully chosen, and every stop felt special. We'd like to thank Alexander for his professionalism, hospitality, and wonderful company throughout the trip. I'm sure I could never have found all those places and organized it myself.”
