We decided on “Trout and Wines” which was a little expensive but turned out to be excellent. The tour visited four of the top wineries in Mendoza, all of which were very different.
It turned out that no one else signed up for the tour that day so we ended up being the only 2 along with our guide and the driver….a private ...
