Small-group Malbec tasting at Bodega Gamboa with vineyard walk, cellar samples, multi-course lunch, and Buenos Aires hotel pickup.
“We had a mixed experience. First, the good part. Our Viator guide was excellent and knowledgeable. The transportation was prompt with a good driver. The food experience was 5 stars! Six appetizers, a main course of meat with salad and vegetables and 4 desserts. The food was cooked on a wood burning oven. Now the not so good. The vineyard is still a work in process and the growing conditions for grapes are not ideal. The wines from Mendoza were fine. The wines from the local vineyard were not so good. If you’re a wine connoisseur you will be disappointed. Unfortunately also, the winery tour was conducted mostly in Spanish.…”
