On Sunday the place is dead! Would highly recommend. Somewhere in between the new world and old world wine, grapes arrived to Argentina sometime in the 1500's. It’s a small, quaint town with few tourists, beautiful views and a number of wineries. You will be in Mendoza around the time of the harvest – should be quite interesting and lively. Enjoy! But if you are looking for character, story and some unique quality wine, you'll have to pay Carmelo Patti a visit. An Oenophiles guide to Mendoza's wine regions. @Joe: So glad that this information is useful and timely! With more than 1,500 wineries spread out through the three main wine regions - Lujan de Cuyo, Valle de Uco and Maipu - wide open spaces with nothing but vines, mountain grandeur and blue skies, and some of the best winery architecture in the world, it is a spot you truly don't want to miss.Learn about wines by tasting different ones and comparing them, discussing them, and even blending. Hope to get there later this year! Enjoy Mendoza!Hey Daniel and Audrey! Find a #RealMalbec Taste a Real Malbec. But the reality is that weekend openings are always less secure than weekday openings. Many of the other travelers we met who were disappointed by Mendoza seemed to only do the Maipu bike tour, which completely makes sense to us – that is more like mob wine tasting rather than a relaxing experience where you’re talking with the winemakers or owners (very glad we did Maip after the experience in Lujan de Cuyo).But, I hadn’t thought about the weekend closure issue – thank you for bringing that up. Do you know if one season is better than others for visiting the wineries?Thanks for the info! Achaval Ferrer wines are geared toward longevity and export, so the winemaker keeps alcohol levels low.Achaval Ferrer seems also to be on the itinerary of big wine buyers and spectators (i.e., those with private drivers and deeper pockets), but the atmosphere was not at all stuffy. This is where you'll have to walk and ask questions for wineries in town, or hire a taxi to take you to the vineyards on the town's outskirts.If you plan to visit several wineries, our suggestion would be to hire a taxi for the day to drive you around as distances between wineries can be vast.Among the Lujan wineries we visited below, all export wine abroad, with Alta Vista wines being the easiest to find in the U.S.Achaval Ferrer is an example of one of the boutique high-end wineries emerging in this area. We invite you to visit Mendoza, the 8th Wine Capital of the World!!! Yes, we are the real deal! The Argentine owners came from backgrounds altogether different than wine (the cement business), but they decided to follow their passion.
and unless you are super lucky you had darn well better arranged for the tour a few days in advance (and, of course, you’ll be paying fees for both the visit and the tasting). And there is a nice personal touch: one of the owners led us on the tour and through the tasting.Running a one-man-show winery doesn't leave much time for the details, including putting up a sign outside. Stop at SinFin and Trapiche wineries with a guide and small group of fellow wine-lovers. The best advice we got was from other travelers and the sommeliers at Vines of Mendoza, so we wanted to pass this information on to other people so they know the options and can create their own great experiences.
An Oenophiles guide to Mendoza's wine regions. @Leslie: I completely understand the disappointment felt by other travelers to Mendoza. Small Group Tours.
Especially in Argentina. Wineries are everywhere, they are beautiful and best of all, they are very affordable to visit. Mendoza is one of the greatest wine regions of the world. We did meet up with some tour groups from Buenos Aires in a few place. An authentic Argentine wine that thrives in Mendoza’s high altitudes, our Alamos Argentinian Malbec wine blends the deeply concentrated plum flavors of the country’s signature variety–Malbec–with small portions of Syrah and Bonarda to add dark cherry and blackberry flavors. She has hiked the Inca Trail in Peru, rode camels in Morocco and spent a year living in Dublin, Ireland. Private tastings for our group. Many connoisseurs from around the world, even from France where Malbec originated, visit this very region to experience a Medonza Wine Tour and to get a taste of Argentinian Malbec from the many different bodegas. Here is our go-to glossary for the most commonly used wine words.Since 2004, The Vines has helped more than 135 wine lovers from around the world become winemakers – from planting and harvesting, bottling and labeling, and shipping under the guidance of experts, including consulting winemaker Santiago Achaval. my hat is off to you!Its like you guys can read my mind. !Wow this is an amazing write-up!
Small Group Tours. They had fun and so did we.Tell them what you’re looking for in a wine and they'll usually recommend three to four wines to try. As she swirled it and took in the aroma, you could tell she was thoroughly enjoying herself. We were intrigued, but unfortunately the wine we wanted to try most – the Petit Verdot – was not on the wines-by-the-glass menu.Sensing our disappointment, our hostess looked around, shrugged her shoulders as if to say, “What the heck?” and reached for the corkscrew.She poured herself a glass as well.
