Argentina Wine Tours

But the fun is only just beginning. After you’ve had time to relax and enjoy the hotel, we’ve organized an exclusive wine tasting at one of the city’s most upmarket restaurants – Freud & Fahler. Your sommelier will take you on a guided tour of Argentina’s viticultural landscape, paired with gourmet delicacies that are selected to match each wine. Legendary chef Pol Lykan is in charge, so you’re in safe hands. After dinner, the choice is yours. Return to your hotel for a digestive, or explore Buenos Aires’ most lively and captivating barrio (district) – Palermo.

After lunch, you’ll probably want to relax and take in the sights before tonight’s performance – the legendary Argentine dance, Tango. We’ve chosen Buenos Aires’ leading destination for Tango as your hosts for the evening – with its period architecture and refinement, Gala Tango is effortlessly glamorous and chic. Marvel at the sophistication and energy of this traditional dance movement, while enjoying gourmet cuisine and, of course, matching wines. It simply doesn’t get any better than this.

– You have the option to take a private Tango lesson before dinner and after the show.
– Dinner begins at 8:30 pm and the show starts at 10:00 pm. The show will last 1.5

However, first, we’d like you to get acquainted with Mendoza itself. Your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to the heart of the city for a VIP guided tour. Founded in the 16th century, modern-day Mendoza offers a feast of delights, including charming street cafes which beg to be explored. After lunch, it’s time to travel to your next destination, a luxury wine lodge that is considered to be one of the finest in Argentina. Spend a few hours relaxing before a memorable dinner at the restaurant, where only the best, seasonal ingredients are used. Beautiful views and fine wines await!

Finish in style at the legendary estate of ‘Susana Balbo Wines,’ a project started by the first female winemaker in Argentina. Susana Balbo’s skills as a winemaker are unrivaled, as you’ll discover during the tasting, but even better is the 5-star cuisine served at the signature restaurant. Classical dishes updated with pizazz for the 21st century are paired with an enviable selection of Susana Balbo wines. After lunch, your driver will return you to your hotel to freshen up and relax before dinner.

Lunch is at Andeluna, your final destination for the day. Enjoy a bespoke tasting, superlative cuisine and impeccable service so typical of the hospitality of this beguiling region. When you’re ready, allow us to transfer you to Los Sauces, where your luxury accommodation awaits. It is a stunning property, with service to match. Indeed, the hotel was named in Condé Nast’s 2014 Hot List of the 33 best new hotels in the world (among many other awards), and for good reason. check-in, relax and enjoy a mouth watering dinner. The views are magical, the wines no less memorable.

Continuing that theme, we’ve organized another fantastic VIP tour and tasting at Melipal, a winery renowned for both its mountain scenery and memorable wines. Situated just twenty minutes from the city of Mendoza, the property is utterly idyllic; a mosaic of vines, willows, olive trees, and gardens. It’s almost enough to distract you from the informative tutored tasting!

We hope you’re hungry, as lunch will be served at Bodega Terrazas de Los Andes, a historic winery that just so happens to boast the finest restaurant in Lujan de Cuyo. Owned by the Chandon group, your hosts will prepare a veritable feast served with the finest wines that money can buy.

In the afternoon you’ll have time to relax at the hotel before another memorable dinner with matching wines.

Today it is a vibrant town and the capital of the Salta wine region. A stunning variety of scenery and topography awaits, including temperate valleys, tropical forests, and the high-altitude Andean desert. Vineyards stretch over 3,200 ha (8,000 acres) and thrive at remarkable altitudes, a quintessential hallmark of Argentine viticulture. Torrontés, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Tannat, Bonarda, Barbera, and Tempranillo are the principle grape varieties you’ll be dealing with.

However, we suggest taking the afternoon off from wine tasting – instead, we have prepared an extensive guided tour of the beautiful architecture of Salta, finishing with a trip to MAAM – the High Mountain Archaeological Museum. Marvel at the splendid exhibits, before returning to your hotel to relax and enjoy the high-class amenities – aperitif by the pool perhaps? Dinner is at your leisure, but we have a few suggestions in mind.

After your VIP experience, why not have lunch today in Piatelli? A winery owned by US serial-entrepreneur Jon Malinski, the winery is the realization of a long-standing dream of Malinksi to make world-class wines in Argentina. After a tour, tasting and lunch on the terrace overlooking the valley, we think you’ll agree that Piatelli is in a class of its own. A well-earned siesta in your hotel is then surely called for, or perhaps some time by the pool? Check-in, relax and unwind. Later, your driver will take you to El Esteco, a historic vineyard founded by two French brothers in 1892. Situated in the most idyllic of settings, El Esteco specializes in producing small volumes of organic wines, which is a growing movement across Argentina. The tour and VIP tasting are guaranteed to be memorable. When you’re ready, your driver will take you to the on-site hotel for a glass of bubbly. Dinner is at your leisure, although the hotel’s signature restaurant comes highly recommended.

The project was started by the Romero family, who bought the property in 2000 and built their house in the middle of an old vineyard called Finca El Retiro, which has significantly increased in size since due to years of expansion and growth. Today the wines continue to win global pundits – The Wine Advocate awarded the 2011 single-vineyard Malbec 92 points in its latest issue. And as your VIP tutored tasting will demonstrate, this is praise well-earned.

After your tour, we suggest lunch at Estancias de Cafayate. As you’d expect, the views are as fantastic – even better is the culinary artistry on display.

The afternoon is then free for you to relax by the pool, or perhaps horse-riding or cycling takes your fancy? Whatever you decide, remember to work up an appetite for your dinner at ‘Bad Brothers,’ Cafayate’s best restaurant. A vibrant, trendy wine bar and restaurant, Bad Brothers is regarded by the magazine Wine Enthusiast as one of the leading destinations in Argentina for great food, wine, and hospitality. It’s bound to be a memorable evening, with the Calchaqui Valley providing the views and the owners serving bottle after bottle of delectable wines.

Your VIP experience starts with a tour of the winery, followed by an informative tasting led by Colomé’s in-house sommelier. The region’s signature grape varieties, Malbec and Torrontés, flourish here in their sustainably farmed vineyards. As a treat, you’ll also be tasting Colomé’s most exclusive wines, including Altura Maxima.

Lunch is served! Along with award-winning wines, Colomé’s boutique hotel and renowned restaurant offer the utmost in culinary excellence, as you’re about to discover. Your table is situated on the delightful terrace, affording only the best views as you marvel at the exquisite dishes and superlative wines. After lunch, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit the on-site museum, dedicated to James Turrell, the renowned light and space artist – a natural fit for the landscape. What a perfect end to your day.
