This is an example plan which we would be happy to customise to suit your requirements
(we can arrange your international flights if you require)

1Our representative will be waiting for you in arrivals at the International Airport, they will take you by private car to the domestic airport for your onward flight to Mendoza .
(If you prefer, we can include an overnight stay in Buenos Aires at the beginning).
In Mendoza, you’ll be met by our expert wine guide who we will have selected to your preference, whether you are completely new to the world of wine or a connoisseur, we’ll personalise a program exactly to your wishes and tastes. They’ll give you a brief orientation to the region before checking you into your hotel for 4 nights. You have the afternoon free to relax. You might wish to try one of the many excellent restaurants in the area this evening, you’ll have our list of recommendations before you arrive and we can help to arrange reservations.

2Your guide will return in the morning to take you on a tour of the Maipo Valley wine area, we’ll have selected appropriate wineries in consultation with you. Typically you will visit three, having a wine-tasting at the end of each. Each has something different to add and we will build a varied program for you. At the end of the tastings we’ll bring you to one of the top bodegas of the region, Ruca Malen for a 5 course tasting lunch with specially paired wines. Enjoy a long, relaxed lunch before heading back to your hotel (perhaps time to enjoy the local custom of taking a siesta).

3 Your guide will return to bring you on a tour of the wineries in the Uco valley, the altitude is slightly higher here and the feel of the region quite different. Again you will visit several wineries to your own taste before enjoying a fantastic 5 course lunch at the open kitchen of Andeluna. Evening at leisure.

4Day at leisure to take one of many optional activities. Perhaps a trip into the Andes (this region is where Seven Years in Tibet was filmed). For the more active you might try rafting or horse-riding whilst there is always still the option of relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying more excellent wine.

5Say goodbye to Mendoza and your guide will bring you by private transfer to the airport for your flight back to Buenos Aires.
Our guide will meet you in arrivals and bring you to your hotel in the city, check in for 4 nights. Afternoon at leisure.

6
Our guide will meet you for a private tour of the city, stopping for a light lunch at one of the most traditional cafés of Buenos Aires. You’ll have a chance to explore the various different areas of the city soaking up the history and culture.
In the evening you will be taking in the best Tango show in town, Rojo Tango which includes dinner.

7-8You have two days free to explore the city and take up some of our excellent restaurant recommendations. We can arrange reservations as well as some more special options such as a hosted dinner with a local family or a reservation at one of the city’s closed door restaurants.
