1. What is included in the price of our tour?: Included in your trip cost are transfers to and from the airport, a driver and vehicle for your winery visits, your own personal wine guide for the duration of your trip and accommodation in beautiful hotels. We also include a delicious welcome dinner at Francis Mallmann’s world renowned restaurant, 1884. You will have one free day in Mendoza to explore the exciting region. We can provide you with a list of activity options and prices when you sign up. Options include everything from whitewater rafting and horseback riding to spa packages and city tours.
2. Why are the specific tastings not included in the trip cost?: We’ve left the tastings out of the trip cost to give you the opportunity to select which vineyards you would like to visit. Your personal guide will work with you to determine which wineries are most likely to fit your tastes and desires. Some people may find that they only want to visit one or two wineries per day while others may wish to visit three or four. By not including the tastings in the trip cost, we provide you with flexibility to do as you wish.
3. Which grape varieties are typically grown in Mendoza?: Mendoza is best known for robust Malbecs, hardy Cabernet Sauvignons, aromatic Tempranillos and nutty Chardonnays. The combination of mineral-rich soil from the Andean mountains and high altitudes result in very flavorful wines with firm tannins.
4. Why should I choose Mendoza for my wine vacation?: Mendoza is known for its pleasant climate, mountain views and culinary delights. The region is emerging as a must-visit destination for true wine and food aficionados.
5. Can I alter the itinerary to suit my travel wishes?: Certainly! Berg Adventures is happy to work with you to create your dream itinerary in Argentina. Whether you want to include a few days in the mountains or upgrade your hotel to an exclusive bodega, we can help you!
6. How do I fly to Mendoza? Can Berg Adventures help me arrange my flights?: To reach Mendoza, you will need to fly through either Santiago, Chile or Buenos Aires, Argentina. Contact our office for assistance booking your flights or for recommended flight itineraries.
7. What should I wear to the wineries?: The most important thing to think about when packing will be comfort. That said, if you decide to wear jeans with flip flops, you will probably feel under-dressed. Smart, casual clothes with a nice comfortable pair of shoes will be perfect for your days touring wineries.
8. What weather should I expect in Mendoza? When is the best time to travel?: Weather is relatively mild in Mendoza year round, though the winter months (May to August) are definitely cooler. The region is quite dry throughout the year, so there is no rainy season to avoid. For moderate temperatures and lots of sun, October and April are lovely! November – March can be hot during the day, but due to the high altitude, it usually cools down in the evening and overnight.
