Guided trip
Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Argentina, visiting Buenos Aires and Mendoza, designed for curious travelers who are eager to immerse themselves in the local culture and flavors. Get ready for a truly authentic experience as I take you on a discovery of Buenos Aires' hidden gems, from tucked-away local spots to iconic landmarks that tell the city's captivating stories. After a flight to Mendoza, you'll be whisked away to the mesmerizing vineyards nestled against the stunning backdrop of the Andes Mountains. My deep knowledge and carefully curated wine tours are not just for connoisseurs, but for anyone who appreciates the art and soul of winemaking. You'll have the chance to meet passionate winemakers, explore boutique wineries, and savor the region's renowned Malbecs and other wines while learning about the fascinating history and traditions of Argentine wine. But it's not just about the wine; I believe that food is an integral part of any culture. That's why we'll take you on a culinary journey to hidden places that only a local would know, where you'll savor traditional Argentine cuisine paired with exquisite local wines. From cozy, family-run bodegas to charming wine estates, you'll enjoy exclusive food and drink experiences that will truly delight your senses. My goal is to create an intimate and personalized experience with a small group of people who are passionate about discovering new wine experiences. No pretentiousness here, just genuine hospitality and a warm embrace of Argentine culture. Some details about me: my name is Claudio, I am Argentine, but I lived 12 years in Uruguay, and I have traveled a lot throughout Argentina and Chile as well. Nowadays I live in Spain, I plan to travel on this trip from Madrid. I was born and raised in Mendoza, a world-famous wine region, and I studied business administration. I have traveled all around Argentina and will add more trips to other regions. I love wine, (I usually make wine in my garage), I have some good friends who are winemakers, I am a healthy and very active person, I practice martial arts, and I ride my bike. About The Trip: The trip involves staying in a 4-5-star hotel with a double bedroom. The idea is for couples, but it could be adapted for solo travelers. What is included in the price? - Accommodation (Shared rooms) - Transportation - Activities as wine tasting We are spending 2 nights and 3 days in Buenos Aires downtown and 4 nights and 5 days in Mendoza. All transfers will be private for our group, including the domestic flight. I believe more details are explained in the schedule, but basically, the trip will be a wonderful time in Argentina.  ¡Salud!
