Hidden Gems Wine Tour: Exploring Mendoza's Historic Wineries in Mendoza - 086466bae81c051a53ba970a0bab6d46

Get ready to spice up your wine adventure in Mendoza with me! While there are more than 130 wineries waiting for your visit, most folks end up at the same ol’ touristy spots with large groups. Let’s break the mold and embark on a wine escapade that’s anything but ordinary.

Our tour goes beyond the grapevine gossip, taking you on a joyride around Mendoza to witness the epic evolution of the wine scene. I'm the kind of explorer who loves finding scenic detours, uncovering hidden gems, and snapping pics at spots that make your friends jealous on Instagram.

This isn’t your grandma’s wine tour—nope, we’re not just sipping and swirling. We’re diving headfirst into Mendoza’s wine culture, and I’m here to show you the ropes. To really get the vibe of a place, you’ve gotta see it through the eyes of a local—and lucky for you, I’ve got that insider perspective.

And hold onto your taste buds because, as a bonus surprise, we’ll be lunching at a fabulous restaurant that only the cool locals know about. Get ready for a day filled with laughter, vino, and memories that’ll make your wine tour a grape success

This is the plan

Our group of four had a wonderful 3-hour walking tour with Julieta around the city of Mendoza. This was our first activity when we arrived, and it was an excellent opportunity to learn about the city's unique history and the passion that the locals have for their town. If English is your preferred language, Julieta is a great choice - she is an excellent communicator and had so much knowledge about the city, she was like a walking history book. I would not hesitate to book with WithLocals again after this experience - it is a great value and time very well spent. A Perfect Day with Julieta!

Julieta was wonderful. Very personable, knowledgeable, and fun. Overall a nice tour. Somewhat unique in that food and wine was picked up at locations, markets, kiosks, and enjoyed sitting among the plazas of Mendoza, hearing about the culture and history. I guess we were expecting to go around (inside) to some bars and small restaurants. But this experience was worthwhile. Julieta was great. A unique experience.

Julieta was a joy to have as our guide. Her knowledge of the city and its history was incredibly impressive. Not only did we get to enjoy local cuisine, we learned a ton about Mendoza and the Argentinian history. She had to get creative since we our tour was on a Sunday so the market and many restaurants were closed. We really appreciated her expertise and enthusiasm and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.Amazing tour with an expert
