⚠️ Important Information about Transportation
Transportation is not included in the activity. You must arrange transportation to the winery and return transportation to the city center (or your accommodation).
Please note that the winery is approximately 35 minutes from Mendoza City, in a rural vineyard area, so it can be difficult to find transportation or ride-hailing services (Uber/Cabify) from this location after the activity. We recommend arranging your transportation in advance.
