We had a great time. Miguel, our driver and host was very knowledgeable and a great driver. The small family run wineries chosen by the company were exactly what we asked for and exceeded our expectations. The lunch visits were deliciously prepared and paired excellently with the wine.

What a wonderful trip! Claudio put together the perfect 10 day tour of the wine regions of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. He made sure that all our needs were met and took good care of us. He chose a good selection of different types of wineries to visit as well as places to dine. All the local guides, drivers and hotel choices were all people and places that he obviously took time to vet and trusted. We returned home safely, with so much more knowledge and appreciation of South America - its culture and wines. We highly recommend Borravino Wine Tours and would definitely be interested in Claudio’s wine tour of Spain when it becomes available.

Our trip was amazing, and Claudio’s knowledge of wine and his selection of wineries visited allowed us to experience the best of each wine region visited. In addition, the personal care given to us couldn’t have been any better. My wife had recently had hip surgery and Claudio went out of his way to make sure she didn’t miss out on anything.

Our trip was amazing, and the personal care given to us couldn’t have been any better. My wife had recently had hip surgery and Claudio went out of his way to make sure she experienced the full beauty of the falls and didn’t miss out on anything.
