Vinos, sabores y paisajes jujeños para celebrar un cumpleaños inolvidable en familia

Festejamos el cumpleaños de mi marido en familia y el paseo superó nuestras expectativas. El bus vitivinícola combina paisajes increíbles, visitas a bodegas, degustaciones y una propuesta gastronómica muy entretenida, incluso para nuestros hijos. Nuestro guía, Martín, sabía muchísimo: nos explicó por qué la altura cambia el sabor de la uva y señaló los antiguos canales de riego al pasar por Tilcara. También fue muy atento con los chicos y adaptó los tiempos sin apurarnos. Entre vinos, empanadas y risas, pasamos un día hermoso y diferente.

Tilcara wines, generous tastings, and easy booking

After a long year of work, this wine bus was exactly the relaxed outing we wanted. The ride through Tilcara was comfortable, and tasting local wines with regional snacks felt far better than booking separate visits. For the price, we got plenty: transport, a friendly guide, several generous tastings, and a small food pairing. Tangol’s booking help was excellent; Marina replied to my questions within an hour and even confirmed our hotel pickup by WhatsApp the night before. Everything ran smoothly, without feeling rushed. A lovely, good-value afternoon for two tired retirees.

Vinhos de altitude, paisagens e sabores em um passeio completo

Fiz o Ônibus do Vinho com minha filha adolescente nas férias de verão e foi uma ótima surpresa pelo preço. O passeio combina degustações de vinhos de altitude, explicações sobre os produtores, paisagens da Quebrada e uma parada para provar empanadas de queijo de cabra. A guia foi atenciosa e adaptou o ritmo para nós duas. Numa vinícola pequena, experimentamos um torrontés servido com queijo e doce de cayote; minha filha adorou. Pelo valor, tivemos transporte e uma tarde completa, sem correria. Vale muito para conhecer Tilcara de outro jeito.

Entspannte Weinrunde rund um Tilcara

Wir waren in der Nebensaison mit unserer Familie unterwegs und fanden den Weinbus ab Tilcara herrlich entspannt. In unserer kleinen, bunt gemischten Gruppe wurde viel gelacht; besonders nett war der Austausch mit einem Paar aus Córdoba. Der Fahrer holte uns um 9:05 Uhr pünktlich am Hotel ab, die Wege zwischen den Stationen waren gut koordiniert. Auch die Rückkehr nach Tilcara klappte ohne Wartezeit. Eine genussvolle, persönliche Ausfahrt.

À Tilcara, un bus à vin convivial entre dégustations, rires et paysages magnifiques

Après une année de travail, on s’est offert ce tour en bus à vin depuis Tilcara, et quelle bonne idée ! Petit groupe très sympa : deux couples argentins, une Belge et nous, retraités français. L’ambiance était joyeuse, jamais bruyante ; on a même fini par chanter dans le bus, entre deux dégustations. Les vins, servis avec des empanadas au fromage, passaient dangereusement bien ! Pour réserver, Clara a répondu le soir même et envoyé par WhatsApp le point de prise en charge, avec une petite carte. Simple, chaleureux, parfait pour souffler.
