Wonderful walk - Wonderful! The horses are beautiful and well cared for, but the highlight of the tour was the Argentine barbecue watered with great wine and music with Diego and Fabio, wonderful hosts! It was a very enjoyable and relaxed night, very high astral! Folk music and lots of fun!

My husband and I had a... - My husband and I had a wonderful time! From hotel pickup, visiting the ranch, riding the stunning horses, and the barbecue, we were beyond thrilled with the experience. I had never ridden a horse and I couldn’t have been more happy to try it on this excursion. The food was great and we even got serenaded with music! Diego, it was a pleasure meeting you and learning more about your country!

A Mendoza Must Do!!!!! - My family & I did this excursion on our last night visiting Mendoza. And let me just say… what an amazing adventure to end our trip. Diego & Fabio were excellent guides and extremely knowledgeable about not only the horses we road, but also the land surrounding us. They embodied the true Mendoza culture with a traditional Argentinian meal, wonderful wine, and wrapped up the night singing around the campfire under the stars. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a taste of Mendoza.

Get Gaucho! - We really enjoyed our experience at the Gaucho Estate. Diego the owner, picked us up and made sure that we were comfortable and safe and enjoying ourselves throughout. His team does a good job, preparing the food and tending to the animals. This is a very rustic experience, so come prepared to get dirty and have fun. Two of our group were first timers on a horse and with Diego’s guidance, they were comfortable operating the horses in no time. Wine flowed like water and the food was plentiful and tasty. Handwashing facilities and a clean flush toilet was available. We enjoyed listening to Diego play the guitar and sing after our meal. One suggestion we can provide is to provide net picnic food tents to keep the flies away from the food. Obviously being around a lot of animals, there will be flies.

A first for us - Enjoyable sunset ride on very calm horses. First time riding a horse for us and it was a great experience. The food and wine at the end of the ride was enjoyable. Just the pesky flies were a nuisance, but that difficult to control. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend

Highly recommended, an authentic experience - Absolutely incredible evening! After 19 days traveling around Argentina, this will always be remembered as of of the best, if not the best experiences. The ride, the dinner, the wine, music, and conversation around the firepit- all were top notch, and didn't seem scripted or fake in any way. I understand that these guys do this several times per week, but they genuinely seemed to enjoy having us as guests. We made new friends from all over the world, including Holland, Argentina, Sweden, and the UK. Highly recommended!

The evening started with... - The evening started with a nice horse back ride around the estate followed by tasty asado. But the highlight was ending the evening with plenty of wine sitting around a bonfire while being serenaded with traditional Argentinean songs sung by gauchos playing guitars.

Great operators - must do experience - Everything we hoped for. Diego is an expert and a gentleman. His English is also fantastic. Riding was beautiful followed up by an incredible BBQ and time singing around the fire with great wine and company. We were completely sleep deprived going in but everything was so fun we forgot how tired we were. Couldn’t have gone better!
