Ride into Mendoza’s mountains at sunset, then share an authentic asado, wine, and dessert at a welcoming family ranch.
“This is an amazing trip and one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. The horses are amazing, very well trained and made my first time riding a horse stress free. The guides and the drivers are also amazing, everyone is very friendly and helpful and explain everything very clearly. The Asado following the ride is one of the best I have had in Argentina! It’s also a small enough group, so you get to know the others and enjoy a lovely meal together after the trip. I really cannot recommend this trip enough!”
Enjoy a seven-course Argentine asado in Buenos Aires with slow-grilled meats, unlimited local wine, warm hosts, and live tango music.

Share a hands-on Argentine asado with local host Fede, homemade empanadas, Mendoza wine, mountain views, and a Fernet finale.
“From the moment I saw the opportunity to be hosted by a Mendocino local, I knew it was perfect for our family of four. Getting to know Fede was a delight. He has managed to create a unique, hands on Asado experience on his rooftop terrace. He is a crafter of wines and a magician with meat, not to mention dessert, which is not to be missed. From the moment we made the booking he was friendly and helpful. We hope, one day, to welcome him and his lovely family into our home.”
Ride Creole horses through Mendoza’s high Andes, then enjoy empanadas, wine, Argentine barbecue, and dessert at a private family ranch.

“We had an awesome time at night polo. We enjoyed watching and learning about the game, visiting the museum, helping take part in the game and also learning how to play polo. This tour is a must for anyone interested in something fun to do while in BA, Argentina.”
Spend a full day at Santa Susana Ranch with empanadas, Argentine barbecue, carriage rides, gaucho skills, tango, and folklore.
“We missed the excursion due to lack of clear communication from the vendor. Poor communication prior to the event. My voucher had one ouck up point. The location was changed. Prior to the day of the excursion, I asked several times what time the van would board guests. I received a response the day of the excursion. Poor customer service.”
Fly fish a private Andean river near Mendoza, then enjoy a superb barbecue, wine, mountain views, and hotel transport.
“This was 100% worth the price and full day experience. Daniel our guide was a great fly fishing expert and really gave us individual attention to teach us the skills needed to fish. The river we fished on was indeed private, quiet and serene. It does take you outside the city but its a beautiful drive seeing the Andes. The barbeque lunch is more of an awesome 3 course meal with wine! Way more food and better than I would have expected. Theres a charming home on site with a kitchen, dining room and covered outdoor fire pit. The dining area we ate in was rustic and adorable. Would highly…”
Spend a full day at Santa Susana Ranch with Argentine beef, wine, tango, gaucho contests, mate, and a folklore show from Buenos Aires.

Spend 10 hours in the Andes with Aconcagua views, Horcones Lagoon, Inca sites, and an Argentine BBQ with wine.
