Wine Tours In Mendoza & Chilean Wine Country

Begin the following day with a privately guided tour of the magnificent Teatro Colón. Next, visit the Plaza de Mayo with your private guide before continuing to the cobblestone streets of San Telmo with its artisans and antique shops. Alternatively, we can also organize a private biking tour through the gorgeous parks of the Palermo neighborhood, a personal shopper for insider access to the high-end Argentine shopping scene, or even a private tango lesson with a professional dancer. Following dinner, we will take you to the best tango show in town to watch this iconic dance firsthand.

The following day, head to the Uco Valley for your first private tastings, with stops at Solo Contigo and Rolland wineries before a private lunch with wine pairings at DiamAndes. In the afternoon, return to your luxurious accommodations in the countryside. There, enjoy beautiful vineyard views with the Andes as a stunning backdrop, along with a gourmet restaurant helmed by famed South American chef Francis Mallmann.

During your final day in Mendoza, head to a local estancia, or ranch, for a morning of outdoor adventures in the Andean foothills. First, explore the property’s trails on foot or horseback, spotting local wildlife such as guanaco, red deer, or even the mythical Andean condor along the way. Then, stop for a traditional barbecue lunch, or asado, consisting of traditional appetizers, handmade empanadas, and the best cuts of famed Argentine beef before returning to your hotel to enjoy the property’s many amenities.

During your time in this region, you’ll visit the famed Colchagua Valley for a full day of wine tasting at Chile’s top vineyards. Here, you’ll learn about the rich history of Chilean wine-making, which began in the 16th century by Spanish conquistadors and developed in the 19th century as French varietals were produced, including the iconic Carménère. As guests of Blue Parallel, you will have exclusive access to some of the region’s best vineyards. Among the highlights is lunch at another one of Francis Mallmann’s restaurants, set in the Viña Montes vineyards.

The following day, explore the expansive vineyards of Vik Chile with the estate’s hosts. Then, tour beautiful La Cruz hill on horseback for panoramic views of the property before sitting down for a delicious private picnic. To relax, head to the infinity pool or request a rejuvenating spa treatment. Later, tour the state-of-the-art Vik winery, where you’ll learn about the estate’s different grape varieties.

In the late afternoon, stop by the San Cristóbal lookout point, a popular hangout spot for locals with breathtaking views over Santiago. For your final dinner in South America, we will recommend a top Chilean restaurant that serves local seafood paired with fantastic regional wines. For food lovers, we can arrange a unique culinary experience at the private kitchen of a local chef who will teach you about Chilean culture through the country’s typical dishes. The following day, receive luggage assistance at the Santiago airport for your departing flight back home.
