Some of our clients ask about our standpoint on Responsible Tourism, we try to ensure that our partners are ethically minded, however we are a firm offering primarily Luxury Tours and cannot state our main goal to be Sustainable Tourism

Sample Intineraires

We do not operate any pre packaged Tours, But sometimes it is helpful so see what some of our clients have done. Please let us know on the contact page which Itineraries you would be interested in seeing

Argentina and Chile and Uruguay Wine tour 14 nights 15 days

Argentina. Mendoza Wine Tour 4 nights 5 days

Argentina. Mendoza Wine Tour incorporating the Uco Valley 6 nights 7days

Chile Wine Tour. 6 Nights 7 days

Please note that from Mid January through till the end of March Accommodation can be difficult to arrange due to the huge demand in these peak months, we therefore advise making enquires as early as possible. The Vendimia Parties and Festivals can make for an interesting time to visit Chile and Argentina and Uruguay having said that the Winemakers and owners have to regard any touristic options as secondary to the Wine Making process in these crucial times

Robertson Wine Tour Objectives

South American Wine Regions contain many different unique climatic and topographic conditions: we will explain the reasons for the diversity and style of our wines through imaginative and interactive studies and visits to Wineries. We explain the terroir and the influence on the style of the Wines. Production and techniques of white, red, Rosé Wines and Sparkling Wines. Tasting techniques, sensorial games and vertical tastings

These Tours will not only give you a thorough insight into South Amercian Wine, but the culture and history of the Wines of Chile and Argentina and Uruguay, and also the extremely new areas such as Brazil and in Argentine Patagonia and Bolivia

Most of all we want you to have an amazing and unforgetable trip and to have shared with you into the things we certainly love, food Wine and great company in wonderful settings

As our interests are wide ranging, he was also able to line us up with a tour of artists’ homes and workshops that was the best ever, and horseback riding in the Uco Valley foothills of the Andes. What a wonderful trip!

• Touring the wineries of the Salta region of Argentina and in Uruguay with Tim Robertson, Director of Wine Tours was a marvelous experience. Tim's attention to details as well as his concern for the personal needs of his clients gave us a wonderfully customized Tour. His experienced palate and exceptional rapport with the top winemakers in each region made for an excellent journey. The high quality of the Wines was a revelation and the warmth of the Wine making families further enhanced the experience

• We enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime Wine Touring experience with Robertson Wine Tours. Tim architected a great itinerary of world-class accommodations, unparalleled private Wine Tastings, and exceptional restaurant bookings. And he added numerous small personalized touches such as a private Wine Tastings, a hilarious, hands on cooking class with an amazing chef, and a two hour Tasting in the cellars of one of the most famous Winemakers in Argentina. If you want to learn about and experience South American wines, Robertson Wine Tours is absolutely the way to go

  Jordan Libit
  California, USA, March 2009

• My tour in Uruguay were the most memorable; maybe because Tim was my personal guide, but also because of the hospitality at each Winery.  It was fascinating to delve into the mind of the Winemakers/owners and their philosophies of winemaking.  I traveled alone on this trip and it was one of my favorite vacations to date.  I would hire Robertson Wine Tours again and highly recommend his services

  Tara Medely

• Dear Tim and team, everything very much appreciated, I will totally recommend you to my friends and the Wine Society. Perhaps a little too much wine, Can that be possible? Well safely back to normality and just a few days back I already miss the Alfresco dining with the Andes in the background, and a wonderful Torrontes in the hand. I envy the lot of you. Good luck with the Season
