Private wine touring in the destination
Private Tour in Luján de Cuyo
Best for: Travelers who want a private, flexible-feeling wine trip with transportation and lunch included
This option is built as a private wine-oriented outing centered on Lujan de Cuyo itself. The supplied details highlight professional bilingual drivers, private transportation, air conditioning, bottled water, and lunch, along with visits to wineries ranging from boutique to established names. Compared with the other two experiences, it reads as the broadest private touring format and the longest time commitment in the set. It is a good fit for travelers who want transportation handled and prefer a winery-focused day without choosing a single fixed meal setting. The emphasis here is on moving through the area with a driver rather than staying in one place.
Private Tour in Luján de Cuyo

- Covers both food and drink as confirmed inclusions.
- Designed as a private experience with bilingual drivers.
Choosing an itinerary style in Lujan de Cuyo
For a slower, more personal visit, the home asado keeps the experience centered on one table and one host. For a fuller day, the private wine-and-mountain tour and the longer private Lujan de Cuyo tour both add transport and a winery-focused itinerary, with the former leaning more toward a scenic route and the latter toward broader private touring.
Fixed home-based meal
The experience stays at the host’s home rather than following a sightseeing route.
Mountain road and winery route
The day follows a wine-focused route through mountain scenery and two winery stops.
Area-wide winery visit pattern
The experience is centered on touring wineries across Lujan de Cuyo rather than a single meal stop.
