Bodegas Norton

Fun, friendly, great wine, interesting history. We reserved the bike tour, but they canceled because of the muddy conditions. They quickly offered a regular tasting tour for the same time slot which was really nice.

If you are looking to learn about wine production and winery operations, this is the Bodega for you. Compared to neighboring bodegas that emphasize food and tastings, the tour of Norton was historic, included great context, and allowed the opportunity to see production facilities up close, which is not offered at all vineyards. Our guide Camila was knowledgable, friendly, and an excellent host. The tasting was limited to three wines, but reasonable for the price point.

Lovely tour and interesting history…including tour of owners original house! Camilla was our guide in English…and was great! Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Tried 3 reds and a sparkling wine (which was offered in the tour).

Fantastic experience. Melissa was an amazing tour guide, the wine was fantastic, and the grounds were beautiful.

Lovely place and our guide Fernando was a great host! You though feel that you are on the more commercial / touristic part of Mendoza

Excellent food and wine, we have loved Norton since the first time we came to Argentina in 2001 and it has been a great visit! Highly recommended, great food and paired wine; Martina is very knowledgeable.

Went there with my partner for lunch. Food was great and the wine well paired and generous. After that we went for the wine tour. Julieta did a great job explaining how the wine was made during the different historical periods all of which are represented in this wonderful winery.

Went for a tour and wine tasting. The grounds were pretty and the wine was excellent.

I spent 3 days in Mendoza and visited 11 different vineyards. This one stands out among the top 3. Just when I thought the grounds were going to be the most impressive aspect of the winery, the tour started and the cave blew my mind. Norton is one of the oldest families in the region and the facilities reflect it. The tour and the guide were top notch. Unlike a lot of tastings where you sit in a tasting room, this guide provided us tastings in different parts of the cave along the tour. I was never a huge fan of this label prior to visiting the vineyard, but I've since had a change of heart. $280 pesos/person for the tasting.

Norton vineyard was exceptional. The grounds are GORGEOUS!!!!! We went with a group and had the opportunity to mix grapes and create our own wine. So much fun. Such an amazing experience.

Beautiful winery. I thought at first it might be more of a Disneyland type winery a la Napa, but was pleasantly surprised to find that, while very well run, it was very charming and they take their wine very seriously. The grounds are gorgeous, and you will go on an hour long tour where you get to see every step of the winemaking process as well as taste it, which was very interesting. You try several iterations of their Malbec (delicious, obviously) as well as dessert wine at the end. The tour and tasting alone was 60 pesos. You can stay afterward for lunch, which we did and were glad we did so. With 4 empanadas, it was 120, and with a full on charcuterie plate and another bottle of Malbec, 180. I split the charcuterie and empanadas with my friend and it was more than enough food. The ambiance is gorgeous and lunch is a fantastic deal. Definitely come check this winery out. While it's different from the mom and pop wineries that populate much of Mendoza, it's very much worth a stop. Five stars!

I spent two days visiting wineries in Mendoza and this was definitely my favorite stop! Being one of the largest exporters of wine in latin america you definitely get the star treatment. They have simulatenous tours running in Spanish and English. You can bike through the huge area and are instantly greeted with a great glass of wine. They ask you to keep your glass throughout the tour as you get to try different types of wine, and wine at different stages of the fermentation process. Our guide was amazing, friendly and open to answering any questions. Perks of going to a big winery? They arent stingy with their samples. We asked for seconds and thirds and were happily served. There are gorgeous sights of the Cordillera that decorate the backdrop of pictures of the vineyards. Free wifi if you ask for voucher! **Only thing I'd ask to improve: I had lunch with my group and the vegetarian option was basically only cheese. It was delicious but having a plateful of cheese for lunch was a little much for us vegetarians in the group.
