DIY Mendoza Bike & Wine Tour (SAVE $250!)

How to save $250 on a Mendoza Bike & Wine Tour! This was the best way to spend a budget-friendly day in Mendoza visiting 4 different wineries, enjoying a 2-course lunch and tasting artisanal olives!

A tour like this would have been around USD 200 per person, but we managed to do it all for a little over $40 per person! A huge saving on our Mendoza winery tour!
