OUR COMPANY
The Grapevine Wine Tours is the specialist wine tourism division of The Grapevine Argentina, a fully-bonded in-bound Travel Agency specialising in Luxury Travel & Wine Tourism to Argentina.
The Agency is registered with Argentina´s Ministry of Tourism (Leg. 13577) meeting all National and Provincial regulations, simply input "Grapevine" to verify.
The company`s head office is in Manchester (UK) and is a Limited Company (registered in September 2004 by
Kelly Thornhill). Since then Kelly has worked consistently at building up what is today a solid reputation as the expert in highly personalised Luxury Travel & WIne Tourism in Argentina & Chile. Our dedicated aim is that clients feel secure that their tour is managed as it would be back home - with care and "First World" attention to detail. To further that aim Kelly has gathered around her a small team of professional (English speaking) wine hosts, sommeliers and support staff whose priority is to ensure their clients get the very best tour possible, a memorable Mendoza experience.
We design and host our programmes for a wide range of clients, from wine enthusiasts to those clients who simply enjoy a glass of wine and would like to learn more about it. We also host gourmet clubs, leading international journalists, wine clubs and professional organizations from all parts of the globe.
We tailor-make each tour in accordance with client preferences. Tours include exclusive tastings of premium wines, barrel tastings, vineyard walks even tasting by horseback. Gourmet lunches, with lots of wine are always included, set against a back-drop of the majestic, snow capped Andes mountains.
What gives us the leading edge and confirms us as being a cut above the rest?
- An enviable reputation with winery owners.
- Our rapport with the winery guides.
- Flexible, rapid response to unforseen glitches.
- Full ground service support-team for our hosts whilst out in the field.
