About this trip
The Uco Valley is the most wealthy and sophisticated wine region in Mendoza. Developed in 2000, it has some iconic wineries such as Salentein Winery, Andeluna Cellars Sophenia, etc.
It is not only about the wineries! The vineyards are also at higher elevations, and the wines taste really different than in Lujan, making this a really great experience for your Argentine wine experience.
We visit three wineries and have lunch at one of them, if you have in mind you would love to visit, don't hesitate and let us check if we can include it in the tour.
The trip includes driving through “Los Cerrillo's route”, some hills on our way from Mendoza, getting us to the Uco Valley oasis, and getting to know the “productive corridor”, a highly productive region, producing fruits and vegetables for exportation and also shipping those to other parts of Argentina.
The views are lovely, and also you will get to see the Andes mountains closer and in a wider view from this part of Mendoza.

Borravino Wine Tours was created by professionals born in Mendoza and Uruguay who were passionate about wine in our personal lives but working in other fields. One day not so long ago we decided to give up our day jobs and dedicate ourselves to what we are really love - wine and the culture surrounding it.

My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting Colonia. Our guide was waiting for us when we got off the ferry from Buenos Aires. From there he explained to us the history of Uruguay and Colonia while driving us to the vineyard. The vineyard itself was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to explore and ask questions. The 3 wines we tasted were all very good and different, and the lunch served after was delicious.
Since we booked a later return ferry, the guide was kind enough to give us instructions on how to explore the old city in Colonia and then drop us back off at the ferry terminal for our return.
Overall a great day trip from Buenos Aires and a great way to experience Uruguay if you're tight on time.

Our tour to Colonia del Sacramento Wineries was fantastic! Damian was super attentive and answered all my questions before booking the tour. They are punctual, and took us to the two wineries that I had chosen. The first one was Los Cerros de San Juan that is big and was recently renewed and has a great restaurant. The other was El Legado, a family winery, smaller and cosy and we were received by the owners. Both of them were great, with tasting + snacks, two different experiences, what made it more complete. Fabian, our driver/ guide was super super nice! Thank you!!

Had a great time on this wine tour. Our guide Carla was very knowledgeable, spoke English and was answering all the questions I had. I learned a lot. Food was delicious and kept refilling us with tastings from selection of varieties. We came in January and the weather was nice, sunny with a nice breeze. We probably stayed like 2 hours at the restaurant just cause it was chill. Our driver Augustine was awesome too, spoke English, friendly and no hassle pick up/drop off. Thanks for the experience!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Before the tour, Damian answered all our questions quickly via email, and the logistics were as easy as could be (pick up at the ferry port upon arrival, drop off at hotel).
Our guide, Fabian, was super friendly and taught us all about Uruguay, Colonia, and the winemaking history of the region. The boutique winery we visited was a beautiful family-owned location with spectacular food and wine. We got to meet the family and enjoy a delicious asado (along with refills after we had finished the initial tasting).
It was a lovely day and a very well-organized tour. Highly recommend for some peaceful time in Colonia!

This was an absolutely fantastic tour and a can't miss itinerary stop for anyone visiting Uruguay or Buenos Aires. Our guide, Andres, was incredibly personable and very knowledgeable not just about wines but also about the countryside we traveled through and Uruguay in general. We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the beautiful country of Uruguay from a local on our drive from the port to the wineries! The two wineries we visited were nestled among beautiful countryside and we enjoyed picturesque views while wine tasting and munching on local meats and cheeses. The wines themselves were fantastic and it was so neat to tour the vineyards and learn about the wine making operation from the winemaker himself. This tour really does have something everyone will love, even those who might not be wine drinkers!
