If you like Stories and wines, sign up! - Original and enriching tour, walking the city to the sound of the history of its origin, which then serves to understand certain corners, "wild" fruit trees or the offer of wool souvenirs. Pity's guide was excellent, very prepared and with a friendly and entertaining treatment, he made the hours fly by. Separate paragraph for Patagonian wines with a few things to snack on; It may seem strange to walk down the street with a glass in your hand, but after having Merlot that no longer matters.
In summary, the wine tour is a highly recommended experience.

Pleasant and informative - Simple but unique activity. Although informed, we discovered interesting elements about the city. It’s strange to walk around town with a glass of wine in your hand but you quickly get used to the idea. The wines presented are all from Patagonia and they deserve to be discovered. There were only two of us with Cecilia, our guide, which allowed us to ask a lot of questions. Very good activity.

January 2024 - Very fun, informative & relaxed. We enjoyed a meat empanada & a nice stroll through the town center. We also received a sample of a chocolate covered alfajor.

Tasty, fun, informative - Great mix of lovely wines, information about the wines and history of the town. Had lots of really interesting conversation, felt we got a much better feel of the town and the wider area and we'll have some of the wines in our suitcase home.

Fun and informative - Fun, fascinating, and informative walking tour around El Calafate with the added bonus of wine tasting. You get to try 3 wines while walking the streets plus an extra one at a store. I had Cecilia and she was a fantastic guide. Great to do if you have a few hours spare in the afternoon

Wine + Town History! - Our guide was Cecilia and we had an excellent time with her! The group was only me and my husband so it felt like a personal tour where we could ask Cecilia all the questions we had about the history of El Calafate and the wines we were drinking. The empanada at the beginning was also a great idea to pair with the wines we had. This is a walking tour, so you're walking around town learning about El Calafate's history and holding a wine glass. We ended our tour at The Wine Shop where the proprietors were so kind and enthusiastic about showcasing their selection of wines! We had a great time, would recommend it to anyone who wants to stroll with some wine and learn about the history of the town!

Skimp on wine! ! ! therefore: expensive! - Friendly guide and discovery of 4 Patagonian wines (but much further north than in this village...) in addition to the history of this small town. The visit is done on foot, haggling with your drink, No stopping in one of the many bars on the main street! The quantity of wine served was puny: there were seven of us tourists and each time there was more than a third of the bottle left. The wines are good but not extraordinary. The tour, announced for 2 hours, ends after 75 minutes. In short, it’s expensive for this meager service!
