If you are looking for a standard tour with a fixed script, I may not be the right guide for you. I design private experiences for travelers who want to truly understand Mendoza, enjoying wine, landscapes and local culture at a natural, unhurried pace. I have over 18 years of experience as a professional tour guide, working in Mendoza and in both Northern and Southern Chile. Tourism was my first field of study, and throughout my career I’ve developed a solid, cross-disciplinary knowledge of the region, including geography, geology, history and wine. What makes my tours different is not just where we go, but how the day unfolds. I carefully read the group, adapt the rhythm and make decisions in real time, always guided by experience. The goal is not to do more, but to do it better. Each tour is private, flexible and intentionally designed. Wineries, routes and stops are chosen for their quality, context and atmosphere, not for convenience or volume. I am also a professional photographer, which adds a unique dimension to the experience. I naturally capture moments, landscapes and details along the way, creating visual memories that many travelers value as much as the wine itself. I enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing knowledge when it adds value and allowing space when the landscape speaks on its own. If you are looking for a well-curated experience, guided by someone who knows the region deeply and cares about how the day feels, I would be happy to show you Mendoza. Sun, mountains and great wine are already here. The experience is what we design together.

Overview of your Mendoza tour

More than 130 wineries are open to tourism in Mendoza, most travelers only visit the same touristy ones in large groups. With me, you will see Mendoza in a completely different way! This excursion digs down to the very beginning of wine-making history, where not only are we going to visit wineries, but also we are going to drive around Mendoza to see how this industry grew through time. I am the kind of person who loves searching for roads or different ways to get to the same place, so that is how I always find secret locations and beautiful spots to take pictures. A wine tour shouldn't be just drinking wine and visiting wineries, there is so much more to enjoy to be able to understand why Mendoza is one of the best places in the world to produce Wine. I learned, that to know a place for real you need to look through the eyes of a local. As a surprise, you are going to be able to have lunch in an amazing new restaurant known only by locals.

Julieta was an excellent guide to some of the wineries in Mendoza. Highly recommend.

Julieta was a lovely hostess, with clear contact arrangements and a detailed tour around Mendoza with a history of region and answering any general questions we had. We went to 2 unique wineries very different than any previous type of wine tasting experiences we have had. They both were very detailed and included plenty of wine and some good accompanying tasting plate. Lunch was rearranged to make it a simpler fare rather than a larger set menu experience that can be offered. Just note that the tasting prices are not included and may be a bit higher than anticipated, however both tastings represented very good value when comparing quality, information and amount of wine and food provided. A very rewarding and memorable experience.

We had a fantastic day with Julieta as our guide. She was warm, friendly, and full of local knowledge, giving us an experience that felt authentic rather than scripted or overly formal. As she mentions in her profile, she is definitely a talker and isn’t shy about sharing her opinions, which made for lively and entertaining conversations throughout the day. Julieta was right on schedule for our hotel pickup and had excellent choices lined up for us. She took us to two outstanding wineries for a tour and tasting, both of which were well worth the visit. She also selected an extraordinary restaurant for lunch, where we enjoyed a truly memorable meal. By the time we returned to our hotel, we were tired and slightly woozy but well-fed and very happy! If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, engaging, and gives you a true local experience, Julieta is a great choice!

If you want to stay off the touristy tours and go to very special wineries with an expert in the history of Mendoza and its wines, then this is the perfect tour for you. Julieta was amazing from the beginning of the tour to the end of it. The first winery we visited was a small one with its own vineyards and history. The second one was quite different in the way they develop their wines. And the lunch was superb with great food and company. Julieta even went beyond the tour experience by giving us tips on other places to visit and restaurants to explore in Mendoza. Thank you so much Julieta for a great day!

We loved traveling with Julieta in Mendoza! We did two days of wine tasting and the experience was great. Julieta worked with me in advance to select which wineries to go to and had great recommendations about avoiding more commercialized places which I appreciated. She was very knowledgable about the region and the local wine industry and provided a great service. We would recommend her to anyone traveling to Mendoza.

3rd review, so running out of positive things to say that aren't repetitive. Julieta is brilliant. You can't go wrong with her as your guide. Super responsive. Super flexible. Ultra knowledgeable. And, just a pleasure to be around. Can't recommend her enough.
