Everything you need to know before booking a private wine tour in Mendoza.
Mendoza enforces a strict zero-tolerance alcohol law (0.0% BAC) with frequent police checkpoints along rural wine routes. Even a single tasting puts you over the legal limit.
Furthermore, top regions like the Uco Valley are 90 to 120 minutes away with spotty cell reception. Rideshare apps like Uber or Cabify are practically non-existent for the return trip. With Peter Wine Tours, you have dedicated door-to-door transport and pre-cleared winery access so you can taste freely and safely.
Both offer distinct terroir and scenery. Luján de Cuyo (30–45 min away) is the historic cradle of Argentine Malbec, home to century-old vines and classic bodegas. Uco Valley (90 min away) offers dramatic high-altitude vineyards directly at the foot of the snow-capped Andes, modern architecture, and fresh, mineral-driven wines.
Our recommendation: If your schedule allows, dedicate one full day to Luján de Cuyo and one full day to the Uco Valley.
Mendoza's premier boutique wineries and vineyard restaurants require advance reservations and strictly limit visitor numbers. During peak season (October through April), high-demand estates book out 6 to 10 weeks in advance. We recommend reaching out 1 to 2 months prior to secure your preferred estates and lunch seatings.
Every tour is 100% private. It typically includes private executive round-trip transport from your hotel, curated visits to 2 to 3 handpicked boutique wineries, premium tastings (including reserve or single-vineyard bottlings), a multi-course gourmet lunch paired with estate wines, and a dedicated English-speaking host.
