"The itinerary was excellent. We were always on time and treated extremely well. Pablo and Nacho were fabulous! Thank you so much!"

Constance Yonan - December 2009

 
"I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the thoughtfulness that you must have put in to the selection of our guides and drivers. In B.A., they provided us with all of the history and relevant information.  The trip to the Estancia was especially enlightening.  We got to Iguazu Falls and found ourselves in a drenching downpour that lasted for almost all of the duration of our stay there.  But Paula was a true nature lover and had excellent knowledge of the flora, fauna, and animals in this rustic part of the country.  Finally, the gem of our trip, the time in Mendoza where Marta proved to be a delight with her knowledge of the wine areas and the people involved.  Thanks so much for all of your planning in making our trip a splendid success."
Bill & Judy Salomon - June 2009
 
"We want to thank you for the itinerary you planned for us in the Mendoza wine country.  The portion of our holiday planned by you was the best!  We loved every minute of it and believe we learned so much about wine making in Argentina, the city of Mendoza, and the wonderful food we ate while there.  Thank you so much for putting together such a terrific package for us!!!  We have told many folks about your website, so you may hear from other people who would like a tour similar to ours."
Ralph & Mary Harris
 
" I am quite sincere when I tell you how impressed we were with the wine tour. We never had the feeling that you were "dumping" us off at any of the vineyards to let the tour guide take us around. Our wine tour host was right there with us, and we felt that she was quite aware of how we were understanding everything. She filled-in details when the guides left something out, and we felt like she were sharing the experience with us, not just leading us around.  22 days and a vacation we will never forget. Thank you for being such a positive part of it."
Bill & Wendy Grant - Canada
 
"Today will end 2008 and as we reflect on the year we definitely continue to reflect on our trip with The Grapevine Wine Tours.  Needless to say we continue to tell our family and friends about the fabulous trip and this trip will stand out in our memories for our lifetime.  We were celebrating many things while we were there and we are very thankful that The Grapevine Tours was our choice as it proved to be one of the most memorable experiences we have had thus far. 
Special thanks to all of your staff who made this trip so wonderful, but especially to our tour director in Chile.  He was outstanding and his experience and his ability to make everything seem so flawless was impeccable. 
Bill and Valerie Reese (Argentina & Chile Wine Tour 2008)
 
"Kelly,
You are without doubt the best!!!!  I so love working with you that I've decided that from now on all of my wine trips will go through you.  You are responsive, creative, customer service oriented and an absolute delight to work with.  I am looking forward to a long, lovely relationship with you."
Katherine Bloor - Phoenix
 
"I wanted to let you know that we were impressed and very pleased with your company, your services, and we were particularly happy with our tour guide Charles.  He treated us with kindness and warmth that was well beyond what was professionally required of him, and he really made our trip to Mendoza a true highlight of our travels.  When I say highlight, I don’t just mean highlight of the Argentina trip – rather, all of our travels.

We have told everyone who is willing to listen to us, and some who are unwilling, what a wonderful time we had and how great your tour was.  We have recommended to everyone that if they visit Argentina, they absolutely have to take your tour, and if Charles if available, they must ask for him.

Thank you again for making this one of the most memorable and pleasurable trips we have ever taken."
Cecilia Chang - Bermuda
 
"Our trip was amazing…very thoroughly executed with a lot of attention to detail. Your itinerary introduced us to the very best of Mendoza's wineries and then your contacts with the bodegas gave us entre to experiences we never would have been able to enjoy. Many, many thanks to The Grapevine for a very special experience."
Liz Wilson - California
 
I would like to ''thank'' you and your staff for an extremely professional and well organized tour during our recent visit to Mendoza. Our guide, Charles, was very knowledgeable and considerably broadened our understanding of the wines and winemaking techniques of Argentian wines.
Jim & Cari Martin - Dallas, Texas

"Hi - this past January my husband and I were privileged to spend two nights in Mendoza. Each day we went on a different and wonderful Grapevine wine country tour. You were then kind enough to arrange for us an automobile transfer to San Rafael where we were to meet some friends at an Estancia."
Barbara (and Michael) Goldstein - Washington DC

  

"We had a wonderful time on our wine tour. I might even venture to say that it was the highlight of our entire trip and our entire trip was fantastic! Best wishes and we will recommend to our friends your incredible service. Regards Toni and Jane"

Antoinette Gagan - New York

"What were the best parts of the tour?"
"The personal attention, and high knowleadgeability and personability of some of the winery guides. At Dolium we had a "technical tasting" with the owner Ricardo which was very insightful. At Terrazos De Los Andes we had a tasting with Gascon, who was extremely knowledgeable - trained in the US. Achaval Ferrer where we had a tasting from the barrels with Patricia - tasting the components of a blended wine, and then the final product itself. A tour through the vines at Tapiz, looking at differences between what the vines for the different varietals look like. We learned a lot about the wine making process by asking questions. I also recommend the wine club, with Charlie - a group tasting/social event in the evening. We also asked/paid to have personalized tours, just the 2 of us and the guide. They let us craft our own itinerary based on the wineries we wanted to visit. The amazing mountain scenery at Tupungato wineries - VALLE DE UCO. Overall Charlie definitely went the extra mile for us - we were very satisfied."
Tina Krivorotova -  New York

"Now that we are back in the US and a bit relaxed, I would like to say thank you very much for helping us to make the most of our trip while in Mendoza.
The Mendoza wine tour was spectacular and very well organized. Also, Robbie was an excellent tour guide who was able to help us with just about anything we asked, even if it didn't pertain to wine:)"
Stacy T. Tarradath - Brooklyn, New York

"Steve and I met with Charles this morning and had a fascinating time. He possesses a wealth of information and enjoys sharing it -- just what we were hoping for.

Thank you for your help at the last minute, and for chosing such a great guide. We´ll be sure to recommend you any opportunity we get."

Ed Stickgold (and Steve Cande) -


"I wanted to let you know the wine tour Robby guided during our visit to Mendoza was wonderful! We appreciated the fact that there were only six people on this tour, allowing for a very pleasant personal interaction among us. Unfortunately I had to leave the tour early, but my husband stayed on and enjoyed the amazing lunch at Almacen del Sur, as well as the final winery visit of the day. I will be recommending your services to several of our friends who are planning to visit Mendoza in the next year or so. We also hope to return and take another Mendoza wine tour from your company."

Anna Bennett - North Salt Lake, Utah.
