This was the highlight of my entire Argentina trip. Carlos picked me up early and it was just he and I. He was so kind, knowledgeable and professional the entire trip and even made an extra stop at the end for photos. We went to three wineries in Uco Valley: Domaine Bousquet, Giménez Rilli, Claroscuro (5 course lunch + wine pairings). Each of them got better and better but Gimènez Rilli was hands down my favorite. I learned about the process from planting to bottling; they also let me try the wine at different stages I. The process like in the stainless Steele vs the barrels which really helped me understand how the flavors are developed. My guide (apologies I think her name was Luciana - the red head lady) was amazing. And then the lunch was MASSIVE at Claroscuro. I insisted on Carlos sharing the meal with me because who wants to eat somewhere so beatiful alone and I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t have been able to finish. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone visiting Mendoza!

We had a fantastic day with Damian. The wineries and tours were very interesting and informative, the food and wine were tremendous, and the pace was perfect for our group. Mostly though Damian provided a great experience. He's very knowledgeable about all things Mendocino, speaks great English, and is great company. So good that we hired him again the following day for a custom tour. Very highly recommended.

Carlos, our driver was punctual and the car was clean, spacious and modern. The wineries, which were selected by Damian, were also very good. We visited three wineries, one medium sized, one large and finally a small winery with a very familial feel. We especially liked the last winery/farm, where we had a fantastic lunch from locally sourced produce, accompanied with wines from the winery itself.

We had a lovely day in the Uco Valley touring several wineries, and our lunch was amazing!! Diego, our driver, kept us on schedule and gave us waters between the visits. It was a great experience!!

The tour was perfect! Our guide provided interesting information about the area and the wineries were amazing. Lunch was one of the best meals we've had in Argentina.
