Uco Valley to Mendoza Transfer

A private transfer from the Uco Valley to Mendoza city, door to door, after a day among the high-altitude vineyards.

Book your private transfer

A private transfer from the Uco Valley to Mendoza takes you from the winery, lodge or hotel where you are staying straight to your address in the city, or to the airport if you fly out that day. The trip covers about 100 km and takes around 1h30, depending on traffic, road conditions and stops. You get in at the vineyards, with the Andes still in the rear window, and get out at your door in Mendoza without driving a single kilometer yourself.

From the vineyards back to the city: distance and driving time

The Uco Valley sits southwest of Mendoza, in the high-altitude wine country that runs along the foot of the Andes. The way back is about 100 km, and we plan on around 1h30 for the whole drive, always depending on traffic, the state of the road and any stops you ask for. Most of the route is straight and open, with vineyards on both sides at the start and the city getting denser as you approach the Greater Mendoza area.

The last stretch is where time varies most. Entering the city in the late afternoon, when everyone is heading home, is slower than the same road at midday. If you have a dinner reservation or a flight to catch, tell us when you must arrive and we will work backwards from there to set the pickup time.

Why a private driver beats the wine-day logistics

The return from the Uco Valley is the moment when a long day catches up with you. A private transfer solves the practical problems of this particular route:

• Nobody drives after tasting: if your day included winery visits, you can taste calmly and let the driver handle the road back, instead of looking for a safe way to return.
• Pickup where you actually are: the Uco Valley is spread out, with wineries and lodges far from each other. We pick you up at the winery, lodge or hotel, not at a bus stop.
• No rental car to return: if you rented a car only for the valley, a transfer saves you the drive back on a road you barely know, and the search for a place to leave it.
• Alternatives are limited: a taxi or remís without a closed fare can get expensive over 100 km, and transport with fixed schedules rarely matches the moment you finish your last tasting.
• Bags and bottles travel with you: the boot has room for your luggage and the wine you bought, without juggling them on public transport.

A practical way to think about the schedule: count back from the moment you need to be in Mendoza. Add the 1h30 of driving, add a margin for the city entrance, and then add the time it takes to say goodbye at the winery. Travelers who do this tend to have a calm afternoon, while those who leave the last tasting for the final minute end up watching the clock on the road.

What you leave behind, and what waits at the other end

The Uco Valley is Mendoza’s premium high-altitude wine region, with world-class wineries standing below the Andes. Many visitors go for a day of tastings, others stay a few nights among the vines. Either way, the departure has its own mood: the light on the vineyards in the afternoon, the snow on the peaks behind, and the long, quiet drive where the valley slowly turns into suburbs.

At the other end you return to Mendoza city, with its wide tree-lined streets, plazas, restaurants and nightlife. Many travelers ask to be dropped at their hotel to rest and change, others go straight to dinner or to the airport. Tell us where you need to be and we adjust the route.

One more thing that makes the return pleasant: the route is long enough to rest. Many people nap on the way back, charge their phones, sort their photos or simply watch the vineyards fade into the evening. With a driver you can use those 100 km for something other than driving, and you arrive in Mendoza with energy left for dinner.

How the return transfer works

• Write to us on WhatsApp with the date, the pickup place in the Uco Valley (winery, lodge or hotel) and your destination in Mendoza.
• We confirm the vehicle and the pickup time, which you can set around the end of your visit.
• Your driver meets you at the agreed place and drives you door to door, with stops on the way if you need them.
• You can book a one-way return or a round trip, in case we also took you to the valley.

Practical tips for the way back

Plan the departure with some margin if you have a flight or a dinner: tastings tend to run longer than expected, and it is better to wait at the winery than to rush the road. Let us know the closing time of your last visit when you write, so the pickup matches it.

Bring a light jacket, since temperatures drop quickly in the evening near the mountains. Tell us in advance if you travel with children, because child seats are arranged with prior notice, and mention extra luggage or boxes of wine so we assign the right vehicle. Our drivers speak English and can answer questions about the route.

If your plan changes during the day, for example you decide to add one more winery, write to us as soon as you know. The sooner we know the new pickup time, the easier it is to adjust. And if you are traveling with a group, tell us the number of passengers so the vehicle fits everyone comfortably with their bags.
