Is altitude sickness a problem?

Mendoza city and the vineyards are at a moderate altitude (approx. 700-1100m), so altitude sickness is rare. However, during the "High Mountain" excursion (near Aconcagua), we reach higher elevations. We recommend drinking plenty of water and eating lightly that day.

I don't drink alcohol. Is this trip for me?

Absolutely. We can adapt the "Adventure" or "Wellness" styles to focus on the landscape, olive oil tastings, trekking, and spa experiences, skipping the wine tastings if preferred.

Can I modify this itinerary?

Absolutely. This is a suggested route. We can add days, remove destinations, or change hotels to fit your exact needs. Just ask us!

When is the best time to visit for wine lovers?

Mendoza is great year-round, but the Harvest Season (Vendimia) happens from late February to early April. It’s a magical time to see the grapes being picked, though booking in advance is essential.

Can I ship wine back home?

Yes! Most premium wineries in Mendoza offer international shipping services directly to the US, Europe, and Brazil. Our guides can help you with the paperwork during your visits.
