The experience
Maipú is Mendoza’s approachable wine classroom: close to the city, rich in history, and generous with contrast. This tour stitches together four different lenses on the same landscape—handcraft beside technology, grape beside olive, dry styles beside a luminous sweet wine—without ever feeling rushed.
You’ll start with the intimacy of an artisanal bodega, then step into the rhythm of a larger Maipú winery where volume and precision tell their own story. A dedicated olive oil stop adds aroma and texture to the day—think peppery finishes and the quiet craft behind every bottle. The last visit leans into Mendoza’s gift for dessert and fortified styles: a sweet-wine winery that closes the circuit on a memorable note.
Pickups begin at 14:00 across Mendoza hotels; the city-wide collection can take around 45 minutes before the route settles into Maipú’s lanes. All entrance fees and tastings on the itinerary are included in your fare—clear, friendly, and easy to recommend for first nights in town or first contact with Argentine wine country.
