Uco Valley Wineries Day with Private Driver
Description
More than a wine tour, this is an invitation to discover the elegance, breathtaking landscapes, and world-class wines that have made the Uco Valley - Mendoza, one of South America's premier wine destinations. Your private experience begins with pickup from your accommodation in Mendoza. We'll travel south along the iconic Route 40 before heading west to the Uco Valley, about a 1 hour and 15 minute scenic drive. Visit three carefully selected wineries. Enjoy guided tours and premium tastings at two wineries, followed by a gourmet multi-course lunch paired with local wines at the third. Our favorite itinerary often includes Domaine Bousquet, Finca Adelma or Finca Sophenia, followed by Salentein, with lunch at Andeluna or La Azul. The itinerary may vary depending on availability, your interests, and language requirements. Relax, admire the Andes mountains, and enjoy every glass while we take care of the driving. We'll return to Mendoza around 5:30 p.m.

Located at about an hour drive from Mendoza City and at 1300 meters asl (4265 feets) the Uco Valley region is synonym of exceptional terroir and stunnings views of the Andes Mountains. Uco Valley has become the paradigm of great Malbecs. In a setting of unparalleled beauty with the Andes as a backdrop and in a relaxed atmosphere we will visit different wineries and taste the best wines. We are experts in the Uco Valley region and will choose for your the best places for visiting, tasting and having amazing argentinian lunch. Come with us for your unforgettable day in Uco Valley During the tour we visit 3 wineries: - 2 wineries for visit and tasting of 4/5 wines - A 3rd winery for a delicious courses lunch paired with wines. IMPORTANT! : for tasting and lunch during the day consider around usd 150 per person (in the "All inclusive" option that is included). WE LIST 6 WINERIES but keep in mind that during a day we visit 3 of them.
Option: FINCA ADELMA Winery Finca Adelma is a small, family-run winery where you can enjoy a warm, personalized experience, tasting exquisite wines paired with cheeses and delicious empanadas. It’s a perfect complement to a visit to a larger winery—like our favorite among the big names, Bodega Salentein—and a great way to see how small and large players coexist in the majestic Uco Valley. We love Finca Adelma! Domaine Bousquet: Organic. Biodynamics. Domaine Bousquet is a renowned winery known for its high-altitude vineyards and commitment to organic and sustainable winemaking practices. The winery has an breathtaking view of the Andes.
Set in the heart of the Andes Mountains, Bodega Andeluna delivers one of Mendoza’s most captivating wine experiences. Elegant architecture, pristine vineyards, and endless mountain views create a stunning backdrop, while warm, attentive service elevates every moment. Guests consistently highlight not only the quality of the wines, but the seamless blend of scenery, gastronomy, and personalized hospitality—designed to be savored and remembered.
Salentein is known as the Cathedral of the Vallley. And we consider it the perfect match of majestic arquitecture, combined with a world class art gallery, breathtaking landscape, one of its kind cellar and very good wines. It is a "Must" of the Valley! We usually include SALENTEIN; but is also possible to customize your day, including some other winery. Visit and tasting at Salentein is about USD 35 per person

We had an amazing experience with Sebastian for our Uco Valley tour. He promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us to three wineries. The entire experience was stress free and very enjoyable. Patricia organized our schedule and we loved the variety of destinations. One smaller family winery, the power house of Salentein and an amazing four course lunch at Andeluna. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much Kelli and Alex. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the seleccion and enjoyed a very pleasent day in Uco Valley. Keep making great memories of Argentina. Warm regards from Mendoza. Patricia & Sebastian
We did the full day Uco Valley tour and we really loved it. Sebastian is a great guide and he speaks multiple languages (english, spanish, italian and french!). He’s very knowledgeable about the area and super friendly, and we really loved chatting with him in the car during the trip. The tour takes you to two wineries during the morning (we did Bodega Salentein and Finca Adelma) and one final winery for lunch with unlimited wine (at Bodega Andaluna in our case). We chose the all inclusive option and we didn’t have to worry about any of the entrance fees to the bodegas, Patricia and Sebastian arranged everything for us (including lunch). The wine was fantastic and the lunch was unreal, with really stunning views of the Andes. The tour offered a really good mix of a smaller boutique bodega (Adelma) and larger one (Salentein). I would 100% book again and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking to discover Valle the Uco while in Mendoza. Muchas gracias Sebastian!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the day and the choosen wineries. Special thanks from Sebastian to you and he says he really enjoyed chatting with you and sharing time. All the best!! A presto! Patricia & Sebastian
We had one of the best days on our travels and major highlight our trip. The wine, food and views all exceeded our expectations. Strongly recommend.
Thank you so much Grant! Very happy to read this kind review. All the best to you 2, Kind regards Patricia
This is a great way to experience the Uco Valley without driving. Patricia was amazing. Very knowledgeable, with very good local information and most of all fun. It was helpful to also be able to learn while driving around, not just while at the wineries. We had a nice balance of larger wineries (Salentein) and medium sized (Anduluna). Lunch at La Azul was very relaxing and the bottomless glasses of wine help everyone truly enjoy our day in the Uco Valley. I am a wine maker and winery owner so this review comes with the perspective of 100’s of winery visits. Thanks Patricia
Thank you so much for this lovely review, Steve. It was a real pleasure meeting you and spending the day together—I also truly enjoyed learning a bit about your wine region in Minnesota. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the wineries and our time chatting about wine and so much more along the way… Cheers!
Patricia was amazing. We were able to create our own itinerary for the wineries we wanted to visit and she was always ready and waiting for us to get to the next destination. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Amanda! We are happy to know you enjoyed the day. Thank you for choosing us. Warm regards from Mendoza, salud!
This was one of the best days of my life. Patricia was awesome and the wine, scenery, and ambiance was unbeatable. I would do this every day of my life if I could.
Thank you so much, Ryan! Your review truly means a lot to me. You were so lovely, and I wish you many more beautiful days like this one in the future. Thank you again! Patricia
Great experience, great food, great wine, great people! Thanks! Will be coming back again
Thank you so much! We are happy to know that you enjoyed and would like to come again! Always welcome!! Warm regards
Please read!! This company will not work with you to cancel or reschedule if you are unable to travel for x or y reasons. Be prepared. Better to reserve once you get to the country.
Hello Evelyn, we do re-schedule. We tried to contact you to do that. Regards Patricia
There are a lot of great reviews for Patricia, who we met, but as she was busy with others , she organized an associate to take us for the day. Gustavo was excellent. I could not imagine a better driver and guide. Intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly and communicative. He made the ride to and from the Uco Valley go very quickly and was very familiar with the wineries we chose to visit and gave good tips along the way.
Thank you so much David for this review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the day; and I absolutely agree, Gustavo is great to talk with and very friendly. Hope you go back home with the best memories of Mendoza, Warm regars Patricia
This is a lovely experience with guide Patricia. She took us to two outstanding wineries where we had informative tours and delirious tastings. Highly recommend. Then we had a delicious meal at another winery with “unlimited” wine! The Uco Valley is a “can’t miss” region of Mendoza, and taking the tour with Patricia is wonderful. We really enjoyed meeting her!
Thank you 3 for such a lovely day. I am happy to know that you enjoyed the wines, the food and the scenary. I wish you all the best for the year, Salud! Patricia
