Wonderful experience Paula was our guide Fantastic. Wonderful place Full of stories Perfect
No words to thank the affection and the beautiful information, very beautiful boom staff, super grateful to the family shoe
A great tour. It was a great experience and an immersion filled learning with two great brands of Argentine wines. The wine tasting (blending game) in Catena allowed us to know the wines of this house in a very didactic and pleasant way. Lunch at Casa Vigil was the culmination of a great day: good cuisine, excellent service in a magical place. In short, this tour is to repeat
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste del tour, la experiencia de cata en Catena y el almuerzo en Casa Vigil. ¡Nos encanta que haya sido un día tan completo y memorable! 🍷
Very nice experience, I met 2 beautiful wineries and tasted the best wines in Mendoza. I'd definitely go back to Mendoza.
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! 😊 Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste de las bodegas y los vinos en Mendoza. ¡Será un placer recibirte nuevamente! 🍷
Miguel was amazing and very accommodating. Mr. Winery was prompt and professional. I even used them to book a trip back from uco valley.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 We’re very glad to hear that your experience with Miguel and Mr. Winery was excellent.
This is a must visit for the region. The architecture, family history and advances they are contributing to the wine community of the world are cutting edge. Flavia was so wonderful and engaging and we were able to experience some of the most amazing vintages. 5 stars!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the visit, the architecture, the history, and the wines. Thank you for the 5 stars and for recommending us!
We also made a concerted visit at the Catena Zapatta winery. We were with friends, the guide told the story of the Family and then we tasted live to the sound of songs, an indiscriminate and unforgettable experience that touches the soul and the senses.
Beautiful place, worth a walk, fantastic tasting Very well served from the private transfer to the kindness of the staff
It was all wonderful, the lunch at the watchhouse is wonderful, it is worth buying the wines there, we had discounts and came out a much better price than at Catena Zapata
The greatest FRUSTRATION of the trip to Mendoza! Like dinner. We were in 4 couples and although the restaurant was virtually empty we were not allowed to put together two tables so we stayed together (even fixing with the manager). The reception was cold and impersonal. The harmonized menu is very expensive to take the same basic wines that we are already used to in Brazil. We therefore opt for the step-by-step dinner and ask the wines apart. To our DECEPTION, even asking out, the options given were very limited! The PREMIUM wines from the cellar were not available to serve! After I was talking about their various wines demonstrating that I knew them well by taking them here in Brazil, it was that the maître opened up a little and told us that he would see what options had available - we ended up taking a DV catena semillon-chenin, then another that he “found” for people in the cellar (q I also know and adore!) Luca kissed Dante and we closed with an already known Argentine malbec. Of the 7 steps, I can say that only 3 were really excellent and one of them - a cone filled with a paté of visceras - was so horrible that it caused NAUSEAS on three people from the table. In short: I DO NOT RECOMMEND! From reception to dishes, for the very high price charged, is a frustrating expression! In contract to this all, the lunch experience at the house vigil el enemigo was THE BEST OF ALL! Simply fantastic and completely different from the chain! From the reception, visitation, attendance at the restaurant that allowed us to choose ANY WINE and any available harvest, to even the singer who played guitar and even Brazilian music, the experience was amazing!
