The Argentina Beyond the Brochure
Bespoke luxury programs in Argentina's wine country — world-class Malbec, the Andes, and cuisine to match. Curated by someone who knows Mendoza from the inside, not from a catalogue.
You've already seen the usual places
Mendoza is one of the world's great wine regions and the home of Malbec, set at the foot of the tallest peak in the Americas, Aconcagua (6,961 m). There are no conveyor-belt hotels or one-size tours here — only private tastings at legendary bodegas, dinners in the shade of the vines, and an itinerary built around one traveller, not a coach group.
Wine
The birthplace of Malbec. Legendary estates across Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, from architectural icons to family-run houses.
Gastronomy
Open-fire asado, tasting menus among the vines, and world-recognised restaurants a few steps from the barrel room.
Mountains
The Andes within reach: Aconcagua viewpoints, trekking, and the kind of panorama worth flying for.
The legends of Mendoza, opened for you
Catena Zapata, Agrelo
A pyramid rising from the vineyard, inspired by Mayan architecture — one of the wine world's most recognisable silhouettes. Taste the Adrianna Vineyard grand cru wines and the Malbec that defined Argentina's style.
Alta Vista, Chacras de Coria
A historic estate where the Assemblage restaurant blends Argentine produce with French culinary technique. The winery tour ends with a wine-paired lunch.
Kaiken, Vistalba
An early-1900s building and winery founded by Chilean vintner Aurelio Montes. Kaiken is home to Ramos Generales, a Francis Mallmann-inspired open-fire restaurant named one of TIME's World's Greatest Places.
Aconcagua and the Andes
The tallest peak in the Western and Southern Hemispheres (6,961 m) sits two hours from Mendoza. Aconcagua Provincial Park offers day routes with sweeping views for every fitness level, and multi-day treks for those who want more. The program includes a private guide, its finest viewpoints and, if you wish, a night in the mountains.
Every detail arranged — you just arrive
A Personal Consultation
We talk through your dates, interests and activity level — from easy tastings to a trek toward Aconcagua.
A Route Built for You
I design the itinerary personally: wineries, restaurants, hotels, mountain excursions and pace.
One Complete Package
Flights from Moscow or Europe (usually via Istanbul, Dubai, Doha or Madrid — there are currently no direct flights to Buenos Aires), airport pickup, transfers, 4–5 star stays, tastings, guides and restaurant reservations — all arranged in advance.
You Just Travel
Most nationalities enter Argentina visa-free for up to 90 days (we confirm current entry requirements closer to your travel date). Russian-speaking support throughout the trip.
Denis Gorbunov
I split my time between Panama and Mendoza — a region I have visited dozens of times and know from the inside: the winemakers, the chefs, the mountain guides. I build every itinerary personally and take responsibility for every detail of the trip, from the glass in your hand to the room you sleep in.
