In reply to Nikki at Calculated Traveller. Nikki, glad you found the article useful! Wine tasting can be expensive, but if you time your visits to wineries and wine bars right you can often taste some fabulous wines without spending a lot. Especially in Argentina. Enjoy!

Hey Daniel and Audrey! Great article. Sticking to a budget can be hard especially when you know it’s for something like wine tasting, which is typically on the more expensive side. This is a great read! Thank you for sharing your experience!

In reply to Katie. We didn't use a company to drive us around Mendoza, but instead picked up a taxi once we got to Lujan by public bus. Unfortunately, we don't have his contact information. You could probably ask your hotel for a driver recommendation. Enjoy Mendoza!

@Joe: So glad that this information is useful and timely! You will be in Mendoza around the time of the harvest – should be quite interesting and lively. There is a lot of websites with information on wine tasting, but many are connected with a tour or some other company. The best advice we got was from other travelers and the sommeliers at Vines of Mendoza, so we wanted to pass this information on to other people so they know the options and can create their own great experiences. Enjoy!

Wow this is an amazing write-up! My wife and I are going to Mendoza in exactly one month from today. We have 6 nights there, so we expect to do a ton of wine tasting as well as other activities. Having an insider / “real person’s” perspective on this is so valuable and will save us a ton of time and money. Thank you so much!
