Tasting Experiences

To make the most of our dedicated wine tasting space we have a number of tasting experiences for you to choose from.

Outside of Argentina, Gaucho is proud to have the largest boutique selection of Argentine wine in the world. With one of our Sommeliers, you have the opportunity to enhance your knowledge of Argentine wine and culture. To add another dimension to your tasting we can match the wine with our food.

TRAPICHE MALBEC SINGLE VINEYARD TASTING: £195.00; (Maximum of 12 people)
Trapiche Malbec single vineyard is their way of expressing gratitude to the growers. The project aims to convey the extraordinary potential of the vast array of Argentina’s terroirs for the production of Malbec. Each year Daniel Pi (Chief winemaker) and his team select the three best Malbec wines from exceptional vineyards.
CATENA VINAS: £450.00; (Maximum of 12 people)
This tasting will be available for a limited time only. Nicolas Catena has pioneered Malbec and the effects of altitude on a variation of clones of different grape varieties. Catena Alta Malbec is one of our most popular wines. It consists of a blend of five different ‘Lots’ of Malbec; all grown at different altitudes. The fantastic concept behind this tasting is that you get to taste the five individual ‘Lots’ and then the final blend – the Catena Alta Malbec. Before tasting the Catena Alta Malbec you can have a go at blending your own wine from the five ‘Lots’ first.
ZUCCARDI VERTICAL TASTING: £165.00; (Maximum of 12 people)
A vertical tasting of wines can be one of the most interesting ways to begin to understand the vintage. The vertical tasting that we offer is from Jose Zuccardi, a huge name in Argentine winemaking, with two of his most successful varietals; Malbec and Tempranillo. It is a tasting of the 1999, 2000 and 2001.
