We really enjoyed this experience. Juan was super knowledgeable and made it fun but informative at the same time. The meat and cheese plate was first class.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

I had a wonderful time in...

Brett_C, Aug 2022

I had a wonderful time in this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the founding of Buenos Aires and the role that wine played in its founding. I only gave it 3 out of 5 stars because I think the description didn’t match the experience. At least half of the tour was a walking tour about history and when we got to the wine shop, we only tasted 2 wines. When I read the description, I expected to try a whole bunch of different wines to learn about the different regions and varietals. While I appreciated the history lesson, the description needs to be changed.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hello Brett, as the name and description say, The experience is an introduction to the wine culture of Argentina, you tasted 2 of the best wines made and manufactured in the Argentine industry, although it is a fact that no more wines were tasted We are always willing to make you enjoy the variety if you wish, although it is not recommended by our experts in wine tasting. however, your opinion is valid and we consider it very important to improve our services. thanks Brett!
