What I offer

Four ways to
work together.

Every price is for the whole vehicle, not per person — so a couple pays the same as a group of four. Tasting fees and lunches are paid directly at each winery. Traveling as a larger group? Just ask — I can arrange transport for more than four.

Wine routes

Mendoza is easier when the day has a shape.

Most travelers are choosing between three regions. I help you pick the one that fits your timing, lunch plans, and appetite for driving.

Luján de Cuyo wine route in Mendoza

Closest classic

Luján de Cuyo

25-40 min from Mendoza City

First-time Mendoza visitors who want serious Malbec, historic wineries, and a relaxed lunch without a long highway day.

Typical rhythm

  1. 01 Morning pickup at your hotel or apartment
  2. 02 Two winery visits with time between reservations
  3. 03 Long lunch in Chacras, Vistalba, Agrelo, or nearby
  4. 04 Optional wine shop stop before returning to the city
Ask about Luján de Cuyo
Maipú wine route in Mendoza

Old vines

Maipú

25-45 min from Mendoza City

A warmer, more traditional wine day: older vineyards, olive oil stops, family-run cellars, and less time in the car.

Typical rhythm

  1. 01 Easy city pickup with a later start if you prefer
  2. 02 Classic winery visit and tasting
  3. 03 Olive oil or small-producer stop if it fits the day
  4. 04 Lunch, then one final tasting or return
Ask about Maipú
Valle de Uco wine route in Mendoza

High altitude

Valle de Uco

About 1.5 hr each way

Travelers who want mountain views, modern winery architecture, high-altitude wines, and a full-day pace.

Typical rhythm

  1. 01 Early pickup so the drive stays calm
  2. 02 First tasting with Andes views
  3. 03 Winery lunch with enough time to enjoy it
  4. 04 Afternoon visit, wine shop stop, and return to Mendoza

About

Hi, I'm Matías Licata.
The whole company.

I was born in Mendoza, and I spend my days driving visitors between the city, the vineyards, and the mountains. The job is part logistics, part local advice: which routes make sense, where to leave enough time for lunch, and when a long drive is actually worth it.

I drive a comfortable car that's officially authorized for tourism in Mendoza — properly registered, insured, and fairly priced. No grey-market tour van, no luxury-tour markup. You get the care and attention of a private driver, with paperwork that's fully in order.

Most days I drive a couple, occasionally a small group, sometimes a single traveler who doesn't want to be on a bus. There's no fleet, no dispatcher, no handing you off — when you book Taxi Wine, I'm the person who shows up.

Why Taxi Wine

What you get that a tour bus can't give you.

01

Just one driver — me.

You book the person who shows up. No call centers, no rotating fleet, no hand-offs.

02

An authorized tourism car.

A comfortable car authorized for tourism (plate AH 207 UI), insured and regulated. No grey-market van — and no luxury-tour markup.

03

Fluent English.

Comfortable conversation, real answers about wine, food, and the region.

04

Fixed prices in USD.

What you see is what you pay. No surge, no fuel surcharge, no hidden tasting markups.

How it works

From first message to last winery.

  1. 01

    Tell me your dates

    A short WhatsApp or email is enough. I reply the same day, usually within an hour.

  2. 02

    We design the day

    I send winery options based on your taste — bold reds, biodynamic, architecture, big lunches — and book everything for you.

  3. 03

    I drive, you taste

    Door-to-door pickup, comfortable pace, no group of strangers. Pay in cash on the day, or by card in advance.

Trust first

Clear facts before you book.

The best tour companies in Mendoza make logistics feel invisible. Taxi Wine keeps the same promise, with one visible difference: a regulated, authorized car is the service.

01

Authorized vehicle

Plate AH 207 UI

The car is officially authorized for tourism in Mendoza: regulated, insured, and easy to identify when it arrives.

02

Private by default

Only your group

No mixed bus, no strangers, no fixed microphone tour. The route is built around your timing and taste.

03

Clear planning

Wineries before wheels

The day is confirmed before pickup: region, reservations, lunch plan, price, and realistic drive times.

Questions

Asked & answered.

Anything else? WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.

How does booking work?

Send me a WhatsApp or email with your dates and what you're thinking. I'll reply the same day with availability, a suggested route, and a final price.

Is the car licensed and insured?

Yes. I drive a car that's officially authorized for tourism in Mendoza (plate AH 207 UI) — properly registered, insured, and regulated. The benefit for you: legitimate paperwork, fair pricing, and none of the markup that grey-market tour vans charge.

How many people fit?

Up to 4 passengers comfortably in the car, plus normal day-trip luggage. Traveling as a larger group? Just ask — I can arrange transport for more than four.

Do I need to pay in advance?

Not for most services. You can pay in cash on the day (USD or pesos at the official rate). If you prefer, I can also send a card link before the trip.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Cash (USD or ARS), bank transfer, and card via a secure link. Tips are appreciated but never expected.

Can you book the wineries for me?

Yes — and I recommend it. Most good wineries require reservations and the best slots fill up weeks ahead. Tell me your taste and I handle the rest.

I don't know which wineries to choose.

That's the most common situation. After a short conversation about what you usually drink, your budget, and the kind of day you want (relaxed lunch vs. four tastings), I send you a shortlist with a clear plan.

Do you do mountain trips, not just wine?

Yes. Aconcagua, Puente del Inca, Termas Cacheuta, horseback rides — see the Experiences section. Many travelers do one wine day and one mountain day.

Do you speak English?

Yes, fluently. I also speak Spanish (native) and some Portuguese.

Plan your day

Tell me your dates.

A few sentences are enough — when you're arriving, how many of you, what kind of day you want. I reply the same day with a plan and a price.
