These three Mendoza wine tours fit different travel styles: one is a private, multi-stop day with olive products and lunch, one pairs two wineries with a guided lunch in Luján de Cuyo, and one focuses on boutique wine country with private transport and a more immersive gourmet feel. Compare them by how many stops they include, whether transport is private or shared-style guided service, and how much time they leave for tasting versus dining.

Three Mendoza experiences compared
Each option includes its own photo gallery, overview, key features, traveler profile, and direct Viator link.
Private multi-stop winery and olive day
Mendoza Winery Tour with Olive Trees in Private Service
Best for: Travelers who want a private day with wineries, olive products, and a paired lunch in one route
This private Mendoza day is built for travelers who want a fuller, all-in-one route rather than a simple tasting visit. The confirmed program includes hotel pickup, private transportation, a guided winery visit with tastings, a stop at a boutique olive grove, and a paired lunch before another winery visit. It is the most activity-rich option here because it mixes wine, olive products, and a meal into one day. The itinerary also notes that winery visits may change depending on availability, so the exact sequence can vary. It works well if you prefer a private format and want several different local flavors in one experience.
Private service with wine, olives, and lunch
- Private transportation is included.
- A lunch is explicitly included.
- The tour adds an olive-focused stop beyond wine tasting.
Two-winery Luján tasting with lunch
Luján Wine Tasting Guided Experience with Lunch
Best for: Travelers who want a guided winery day with two confirmed stops and a clear lunch pairing
This guided experience is the most straightforward of the three for travelers who want a wine-centered day without extra detours. It confirms visits to two wineries in Luján de Cuyo, with a tasting at Caelum and a paired lunch at Chandon. The inclusions also list hotel pickup and drop-off in Mendoza center, a professional driver, and an authorized vehicle, which makes the logistics clear. Because the duration is presented as a range, it can suit travelers who want a day that is flexible but still organized. It is a strong fit if you want a tidy route built around tastings, winery facilities, and a lunch pairing.
A focused Luján de Cuyo tasting day
- Hotel pickup and drop-off in Mendoza center are included.
- Two winery visits are explicitly confirmed.
- A paired lunch is included at one winery.
Boutique Luján de Cuyo gourmet day
Luján de Cuyo Gourmet Wine Tour
Best for: Travelers who prefer a private, food-inclusive winery day with a boutique, small-place focus
This experience is positioned as a boutique-style look at Mendoza wine country, with an emphasis on small places, hand-crafted wines, and the people behind them. The confirmed inclusions are private transportation, air-conditioned vehicle service, lunch, and alcoholic beverages, which makes it the most clearly food-and-drink-inclusive option after the private multi-stop tour. Compared with the others, it does not spell out specific winery stops in the supplied data, so it suits travelers who care more about the overall style of the day than a fixed sequence of named visits. It is a good choice if you want a private, leisurely wine route with a gourmet feel.
Boutique wine country with a gourmet focus
- Private transportation is included.
- Lunch and alcoholic beverages are included.
- The description emphasizes boutique and small-scale wineries.
How to choose the right Mendoza itinerary style
Choose the private multi-stop tour if you want the broadest mix of wine, olive products, and lunch in one day. Pick the guided Luján de Cuyo experience if you want a clearer two-winery structure, or choose the boutique gourmet tour if you prefer a private day with a smaller-scale wine-country feel.
Private route
Private, full-day style with multiple confirmed stops and a lunch-focused middle section.
Guided winery route
A compact winery-focused day with two confirmed stops and center-area hotel transfers.
Boutique route
Private, boutique-oriented wine day centered on a gourmet style rather than a detailed stop list.
Before you book in Mendoza
Check the live product page before booking. Departure details, activity order, inclusions, and available options can change.
Mendoza booking checklist
- Winery visits can be subject to availability, so the exact sequence may change.
- Check the pickup area carefully, since one tour specifies Mendoza center hotel transfers while the others list pickup included without the same location detail.
- Review the included items closely: transport, lunch, and beverage coverage are not the same across all three experiences.
Before booking a Mendoza tour
Which tour is the most private?
The tour with private service and the boutique gourmet tour both include private transportation, while the guided Luján de Cuyo option is presented with a professional driver and hotel transfers rather than a private-service label.
Which option is most food-focused?
The private multi-stop tour and the guided Luján de Cuyo experience both explicitly include lunch. The private multi-stop tour also adds an olive-grove visit, while the boutique gourmet tour includes lunch and alcoholic beverages.
Do all three tours include the same winery stops?
No. The supplied data confirms different structures: one combines wineries with an olive grove, one confirms two winery visits, and one describes a boutique wine-country route without listing the same named stop pattern.
