The Tintos

Best wine tour in Mendoza!
We strolled by casually without having any advance knowledge of the place. We were looking to book a wine tour to Luján, the competitors a few blocks down didn’t have space and was pushing us for a Uco valley tour which we were not interested in.
So we accidentally bumped into Stephane and his wife, greeted warmly by their lovely dog after they explained us the basics Stephane asked us only two things «what types of wine did we like, and if we wanted to see the big name wineries or if we wanted to go for more specialized wineries»
Stephane is French and a former sommelier who worked for star restaurants in Europe so we just told him (as you normally would in a restaurant) our preferences:
Given the fact that we are both relatively experienced and love our burgundy reds with strong full bodied flavors ánd the fact that we had already seen a few big name wineries, we asked for something personalized and exclusive. We told him that we trusted him to come up with a good tour… And the rest is history my friends! We ended up having a private tour taking us to 3 wineries all producing their own wines with their own grapes two small producers and 1 medium-​size producer (but al 3 still super small compared to the monstrous Trapiche and Norton of course)
The tour included pickup at the hotel and drop off afterwards and it also included a very nice Argentinian lunch with (of course) excellent empanadas, steak and wine at one of the wineries.
We had a wonderful experience with The Tintos and would recommend everyone to go for the private tour with exclusive wineries. The selected wineries prepared everything with all love, care and dedication. A definitive «must book» tour here! You will love it.
