Discover Mendoza’s Uco Valley
Located at the foothills of the Andes, the Uco Valley is one of Argentina’s most renowned wine-producing regions. Vineyards are planted at approximately 1,000 to 1,500 meters above sea level, creating distinctive growing conditions for varieties such as Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay.
But the Uco Valley is about more than wine.
The drive from Mendoza takes you through spectacular mountain landscapes, vineyards and small rural communities. Once you arrive, the combination of wine, gastronomy, architecture and the Andes makes this one of the most memorable day trips from Mendoza.
If you are looking for the best way to experience Mendoza’s Uco Valley wine region, a private wine tour gives you something a group excursion cannot: time, flexibility and a day designed around your interests.
The Uco Valley Wine Tour with Private Driver takes you from Mendoza into one of Argentina’s most remarkable wine regions, where high-altitude vineyards, Andean landscapes and some of the country’s most exciting wineries come together.
A private wine tour designed around you
This is a private tour, so your group travels together in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with a private driver.
Rather than following a rigid itinerary, you can choose the wineries according to the type of experience you are looking for.
You might prefer:
A renowned winery with impressive architecture
A smaller, more intimate winery
Organic or biodynamic wines
A gourmet lunch with wine pairing
A relaxed regional lunch
Contemporary wineries surrounded by spectacular landscapes
Traditional Argentine wine experiences
Potential wineries include Salentein, Domaine Bousquet, Andeluna, La Azul, Finca Sophenia, Finca Adelma, Familia Blanco, El Sembrador and others, depending on availability and your preferences.
The itinerary can be adapted to create a balanced day rather than simply trying to visit as many wineries as possible.
What is the day like?
The tour normally begins around 9:00 AM, with pickup at your accommodation in Mendoza.
From there, you travel toward the Uco Valley, approximately an hour or more depending on your starting point and the wineries selected.
A typical experience includes visits to three wineries, combining tastings, winery visits and lunch.
The exact wineries are not fixed because each reservation is planned according to availability, your interests and the type of experience you want.
This flexibility is one of the advantages of booking a private Uco Valley wine tour.
Wine tasting in the Uco Valley
The Uco Valley has become particularly well known for high-altitude Malbec and Cabernet Franc, but the region offers considerable diversity.
Each winery can reveal a different side of the valley: its terroir, winemaking philosophy, architecture, landscape and approach to hospitality.
Rather than simply tasting wines, the objective is to understand why these wines are different and what makes the Uco Valley special.
Lunch with a view
Lunch is an important part of the experience.
Depending on the wineries selected, you can choose between different styles of dining, from regional Argentine cuisine to more elaborate multi-course lunches paired with wines.
And in the Uco Valley, the setting is part of the experience. On a clear day, the Andes provide an extraordinary backdrop to the table.
Why choose a private Uco Valley wine tour?
A private tour is particularly valuable in the Uco Valley because the wineries are spread across a large territory.
Having private transportation means you do not have to worry about driving, navigating unfamiliar roads or coordinating transportation between wineries.
You also have greater flexibility to choose wineries that match your interests rather than following a predetermined group itinerary.
Most importantly, your day belongs to your group.

A different way to experience Mendoza wine country
The Uco Valley is not simply a collection of wineries. It is a landscape, a wine region and a destination where the Andes, vineyards, gastronomy and Argentine hospitality come together.
That is why we believe a successful wine tour should not be about checking wineries off a list.
It should be about creating a day that has the right rhythm, the right places and the right experiences for you.
