Great tasting - We booked this tour to do a wine tasting and get to know a little more about Ica. We tasted a wide variety of wines, all very good. Like the cherry of the cake, we also tried pisco and honestly it was very strong but nice. We recommend this tour!

Excellent wines - On this tour we taste a great variety of wines and of course the national brandy, Pisco. We toured Nieto and El Catador vineyard. I definitely liked Nieto a lot more, since the place was beautiful and the wine excellent. I will recommend this tour to more friends!

A day to remember - A very quiet and really pleasant experience with family or friends, the food in Tacama is very delicious and varied, during the tour you learn the history of this vineyard that is really very old, the guides are very attentive and explain each type of process. You also enjoy a very well explained tasting and you can buy one of these wines to take at home, a pleasant experience.

The best in Family - The atmosphere of Tacama is perfect to enjoy as a family, it is a very relaxing countryside atmosphere, you are surrounded by the huge areas where the grapes are cooked, you can also have lunch there and the food is very good, the tour of the vineyard facilities teaches a lot of this vineyard history, you also get to taste some varieties of wine that are prepared here, it is a really very complete tour, 100% recommended!

Lovely way to spend the afternoon! - Really enjoyed the Tacama portion of the tour! Especially enjoyed our lunch and show (marinera y caballo de paso). The Catador portion of the trip was a disappointment- thought it was going to be a visit to a winery - was a stop at their (tourist trap) store/restaurant. ☹️

Driver / tour operator no show - Extremely disappointing that the driver / tour operator didn’t show up. I turned down a free Pisco tour today so that I could specifically attend this. The tour operator did nothing to assist other than offer a refund.
