My husband and I recently made a spontaneous trip to Argentina while in South America. We had heard about the Vines of Mendoza but had missed getting to Mendoza on our last trip to South America. After our red-eye flight to Santiago, we immediately traveled to Mendoza, and made it just in time for a late dinner. Our experiences with... more

Six of us from Seattle visited the Vines of Mendoza in late February, 2009. We had an appointment set up and were accompanied by a guide who had been arranged by our travel company, Wildland Adventures. We were seated immediately upon arrival in a very private tasting room and had a very friendly greeting from one of their staff persons.... more

Last October I spent a week in Mendoza, eager to increase my knowledge of viticulture. Being a native Californian, I have had the opportunity to learn about wines and the wine-making process but, after spending time at Vines of Mendoza, I realized how much I HADN'T known! The bilingual staff is incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, and attentive, without being condescending. The... more

I've been to Mendoza twice and both times my experience with The Vines was the highlight of the trip. Yes, The Vines is Mendoza's leading boutique wine distributor, and, Yes, the tasting room is really something amazing. But for me, it's the level of care and service you get that separates The Vines from the rest. They'll recommend a place... more

The wine there was amazing, the room with the tree was so relaxing to sit down and have a drink in. This place really... more

I visited Mendoza last month and fell in love with the vines! They had a huge selection of regional wine, and I just received my first shipment from the wine club! I also understand they offer private vineyards!! Can't wait to go back! more

I visited the tasting room in March 2009. The hostess told me that the room was fairly busy, would I mind starting with a glass of wine in the courtyard? Fine. It took the waiter a long time to bring me the menu and a long time to follow up, which in itself is understandable on a busy night. The... more

The Vines of Mendoza was fantastic to visit and the staff was very helpful. However, I purchased a case of wine from them after tasting several flights. Vines of Mendoza ended up sending the wrong year of the wine. For a business that prides itself on wine and service, they lacked the ability to follow through on an expensive and... more

After seeing the prices for vineyard tours on some websites, I found someone who recommended Vines of Mendoza. They found a driver for us for two different occasions. Not only was it affordable, but our driver was wonderful. He was very patient with my attempts at speaking Spanish and we really enjoyed getting to know him. They set up all... more
