What Our Visitors Say
Real experiences from tourists and locals who discovered Argentine wine at Verdot
"We were visiting Buenos Aires and looking for a wine experience without having to go to Mendoza. Verdot exceeded all our expectations. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable, had us taste Malbecs from different regions and explained the differences with such passion that we ended up buying three bottles to take home. The location in Recoleta is perfect, we walked from our hotel."
"As a Brazilian who visits Buenos Aires frequently for business, I finally found a place that offers tastings in Portuguese. The regional journey experience was fascinating: I never imagined Argentina had such diversity of terroirs. The pairings with local cheeses were the perfect touch. I'll be back on my next visit to try the premium tasting."
"I organized a private tasting for my anniversary and it was the perfect choice. The sommelier designed a bespoke experience with wines we would have never discovered on our own. The intimate atmosphere, the impressive wine cellar backdrop and the personalized attention made our evening truly special. Without a doubt, the best wine bar in Recoleta."
