1.Wine Tasting and Lunch at Bodega Gamboa

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 177 reviews · 7 hours · from $169Our pick

Spend about seven hours travelling from Buenos Aires to Bodega Gamboa, near Campana. A guide leads a vineyard walk and tasting of local wines, including Malbec and Pinot Noir, followed by a leisurely lunch with wine and cheese pairings. Hotel pickup and transport depend on the option you book.

“Such a great experience. The winery is small but they have so much passion making wine in this not-so-easy environment near the city. The wines we tasted were fantastic, food was AMAZING (and there was so much, they even catered to my lactose intolerance). Our guide Amy was such a sweetheart and the drive over there (airconditioned minibus) was so smooth. Awesome day!”

“Ich hatte eine Private Fahrt. Top! Sichere, Aufmerksame und Vorausschauende Fahrerin, Jennifer 5⭐️für die Fahrten. Auf der Ranch , etwas kurze Reit-Tour, Wenig Spannende Atraktivitäten für den Preis . Essen viel zu viel , geschmacklich TOP 4⭐️+. Ciara hat Top Übersetzt und war auch sonst Unterhaltsam und eine Hervorragende Gastgeberin. Preisl-Leistung =mässig. Das Essen und der Wein haben es etwas gerettet. Unterhaltung während dem Essen , schön, interessant, umd mit viel Liebe , aufgeführt. Trotzdem würde ich es zu diesem Preis , nicht weiter empfehlen.”

“We really enjoyed the day out with Sophia, who was an excellent guide and gave us a lot of background and information that we would not otherwise have known. What we didn't realize was that the tour included a bus to the boat and then the boat back. That wasn't clear in the description of the tour. Lovely trip on the bus and the boat and the restaurant location for lunch was fabulous. Our only comments are about the boat: - there were no drinks available to purchase and had we known this, we would have purchased something prior to going on board. (Two hours without any cold water on…”
