  4. Valle de Uco: Private Full Day Wine Tour with 3-Course Lunch

  Take the Route 40 across the Mendoza River to get to the Valle de Uco region. In a landscape that combines blue skies, extensive groves, desert fields, and snowy mountains, the cities of San Carlos, Tunuyán and Tupungato combine their geographic characteristics to form an unforgettable wine region.

For each option, you will visit two selected wineries with a guide, enjoy a premium wine tasting, and indu...
