Guide conveniently picked up right outside our hotel and led us on a beautiful tour in both English and Spanish. We went to a special winery in the morning where we had a private tasting and conversation with the owner and winemaker, Laureano Gomez. Then we went to lunch where our guide took care of the reservation and a table was waiting for us when we arrived. Beautiful scenery, wines and hospitality. Would recommend - but note we also had to pay for the wine tasting and the cost of lunch once onsite. Not included in the tour cost.

MY wife and I, along with another couple spent 4 amazing days in 2017 with Flor, Stephane and all the wonderful hosts. We spent days sightseeing, tasting wine and local food, horseback riding in the Andes and more! We brought home so much wine! The pricing on the wine and everything else was amazing. Each host was generous, helpful and sharing. We wanted so badly to stay longer, but we intend to return for more some day!

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.

This tour was the best part of our trip to Mendoza. Before the trip, I had read a lot about the Uco Valley, and knew that I wanted to hire a private driver to tour the wineries there. Because we were planning the trip last-minute, I took a risk and chose this tour despite the lack of reviews because it described an itinerary that I was looking for and was competitively priced. I was not disappointed. After booking the tour, I reached out to Mariana (contact info was on the Outdoor Frontiers Tours website) since the date of the tour was coming up soon. She was so nice and easy to talk to and was quick to respond to my questions through WhatsApp. She also sent our itinerary ahead of the tour. Sergio was our driver--he was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and more importantly, he was a very safe driver. He picked us up from our hotel, and we all had an excellent conversation during the drive to the Uco Valley. We visited 2 wineries for a short tour and tasting. They were both small, which made the experience more intimate, and it was cool to see their different styles and taste their unique wines. We had lunch and a wine pairing at the 3rd winery. It was probably the best lunch I had in my life, and it was accompanied by a gorgeous view of the Andes. Uco Valley IS as beautiful as they say. Sergio drove us back to our hotel at the end of the day. The driver, winery visits and tastings, and lunch were included in the price of the tour; tips were not included. So if you are interested in a tour to the Uco Valley, book this one now. You won't regret it.

This concierge service was recommended to me by an Argentinian co-worker who has relatives in Mendoza. I reached out initially via email and then communicated via WhatsApp. Francisco was helpful in finding a driver for my friend and I to take us to a variety of wineries in the Lujan de Cuyo area one afternoon. The driver/company they connected us with was terrific(@Outbackexclusive). Reasonable prices relative to other rates I saw from companies online or offered by our hotel. Driver seemed to know everyone at the wineries and made the whole day effortless. Francisco also offered to help with securing reservations at wineries but we wanted to craft our own route so did that ourselves. I would definitely recommend using this local resource!

What makes our service unique, is our quality as guides and as a person. Our team is made of highly educated people, warm person and wine lovers. No detail is small for us. You will be visiting three beautiful wineries, at the first two, you will taste excellent wines, and a paired lunch with wines at the last one, the location will be in Lujan de Cuyo or Maipu. The wineries we choose are different every day, but our style is to show you a good mix of family run wineries, old and traditional, a boutique one. We prefer to visit wineries we know the owner is around, where the visit is guided from passion people as we are. Our English is pretty good, and you we usually talk about a lot more than just wines, our knowledge of the Argentine culture and history is wide. We know you will enjoy the day, we are looking forward you love Mendoza as much we do!
