I just wanted to let you know how great the wine tour was. It was a great balance between several different types of wineries. And, possibly most importantly, I wanted to comment on how wonderful Maria was. She was quite possibly the best tour guide of any sort that I have ever had.

I wanted to send my sincere “thanks” for such a wonderful and well thought out winery tour through Mendoza. Maria was outstanding and so very knowledgeable of the wine industry and of the region as well. We had so much fun!

Everything about the day was delightful, from the initial booking to stopping by afterwards to say hello. We loved it. Our trip was with other English speakers and the guide was excellent. The wineries were great, both regarding the wines we tasted and the overviews they gave of their sectors of the market.

Lunch was great, it went on I think for at least 2 hours and the wine kept flowing, I really did lose count of how many bottles we had. The food was great, I and one of my friends were vegetarian, quite often you find that you just get given a bad salad. However they really made us great veggie food, and my friends really enjoyed their meat too.

We were privileged to spend three days touring in three different regions in the Mendoza area conducted by Ampora Wine Tours. From the initial contact made by phone from the United States, followed by detailed itineraries for our consideration by e-mail, and culminating in a group tour one day, and two days of private touring, the experience was seamless. A very high accolade from a couple who live in Sonoma, CA, a number of vintners among our friends.

The wineries selected offered a fine range and keeping the number to three was correct. The lunches were excellent too: Lucas is a superb chef. But the real star was our guide, Martin. He was courteous and efficient with a detailed knowledge put at our disposal. I feel that the guide is critical to these tours. ... To put it in a nutshell, you will be my first point of contact the next time I visit Mendoza, and I cannot wait!!

Jonathan Sparke, Cotignac, Var, France

Everything was absolutely fabulous. We usually don't sign up for tours, preferring to explore on our own, but we were so glad we took the tour with Maria as our guide. It was money well spent. Maria was a lot of fun and had so much great information. We already know a lot about wine and the grape growing process from winery/vineyard tours all over the US, but Maria and the hosts at the wineries we visited gave us more in-depth answers to our questions than we are used to.

We were extremely pleased with everything about the tour; the wineries were varied in their size and methods which proved very interesting, the lunch at O'Fournier was exceptional and, of course, the wine tasting was great. Our guide was absolutely marvelous.

Janet and Marc Revell, Calgary, Canada

We had a fabulous time on both days of our wine tours. We like the idea of going to different size wineries. Your guides were great. Constanza was really fun. Both lunches at Ruca Malen and at O’Fournier were exquisite. Hopefully we can visit again with friends and do another winery tour. Thanks for the good time.

Bernd Kornow, Rocklin, CA

We booked directly in the office after we arrived in Mendoza. Our guide both days, Maria, was excellent! The choice of wineries (though they weren't ones we'd been familiar with previously) was varied and great choices, as were the lunches. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days and would highly recommend your tours to others.

I can't think of any way to improve. It was an outstanding tour. Our tour guide was excellent. She really knew a lot about wines and fit in with our group like she was our friend from way back. The lunch was phenomenal! Five courses that just kept coming along with delicious pairings of wine in a serene setting. It was Utopia. Kai was a very patient and accommodating tour planner. Everything just came together perfectly! For me, this was the highlight of our trip to Argentina.
