About
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'm a licensed Mendoza city taxi driver — yes, an actual taxi. That's the trick: officially regulated, properly insured, and priced fairly because I'm not running a grey-market tour van. You get the same care a private driver gives, with the legitimacy of a city-licensed cab.
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.
Honest fit
I'm one driver with one taxi. Great for some trips, wrong for others — here's the difference, plainly.
Plate OSB-IOJ — the registered city cab
When a taxi isn't the right tool
If you're unsure, message me anyway. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, or recommend the colleague who is.
Why Taxi Wine
You book the person who shows up. No call centers, no rotating fleet, no hand-offs.
Officially registered (plate OSB-IOJ), insured, and regulated. No grey-market van — and no luxury-tour markup.
Comfortable conversation, real answers about wine, food, and the region.
What you see is what you pay. No surge, no fuel surcharge, no hidden tasting markups.
Beyond wine
Many travelers do one wine day and one of these. The taxi goes everywhere the city does — and most places it doesn't.
~10 hours
Full-day Andes drive: Puente del Inca, Aconcagua viewpoint, Uspallata Valley. Pure scenery, no wine required.
~6 hours
I drop you off at a working estancia, you ride into the Andes for two hours. I pick you up for lunch.
~5 hours
A relaxed half-day at the thermal pools 40 minutes from the city. Perfect after a heavy wine day.
Full day
One winery, one mountain stop, one long lunch. Most travelers find this is the day they remember.

How it works
A short WhatsApp or email is enough. I reply the same day, usually within an hour.
I send winery options based on your taste — bold reds, biodynamic, architecture, big lunches — and book everything for you.
Door-to-door pickup, comfortable pace, no group of strangers. Pay in cash on the day, or by card in advance.
Trust first
The best tour companies in Mendoza make logistics feel invisible. Taxi Wine keeps the same promise, with one visible difference: the licensed taxi is the service.
Registered taxi
The car is a licensed Mendoza city taxi: regulated, insured, and easy to identify when it arrives.
Private by default
No mixed bus, no strangers, no fixed microphone tour. The route is built around your timing and taste.
Clear planning
The day is confirmed before pickup: region, reservations, lunch plan, price, and realistic drive times.
Questions
Anything else? WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.
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.
Yes. I'm a licensed Mendoza city taxi driver who specializes in wine-country days. The car is officially registered (plate OSB-IOJ), insured, and regulated by the city. The benefit for you: legitimate paperwork, fair regulated rates, and none of the markup that grey-market tour vans charge.
Up to 4 passengers comfortably, plus normal day-trip luggage. For larger groups I can recommend a colleague with a minivan.
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.
Cash (USD or ARS), bank transfer, and card via a secure link. Tips are appreciated but never expected.
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.
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.
Yes. Aconcagua, Puente del Inca, Termas Cacheuta, horseback rides — see the Experiences section. Many travelers do one wine day and one mountain day.
Yes, fluently. I also speak Spanish (native) and some Portuguese.
Plan your day
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.
