Dive into understanding more of Argentina’s most beloved grape—Malbec. Today explore the
different microclimates in the region of Luján de Cuyo to better get to know this grape’s
unique expression. To kick off the fun, you are invited to understand old vine, low yield
Malbec, carefully crafted by winemaker Roberto de la Mota. In the turn-of-the-century
bodega, get to know his intense yet elegant wines which are full of character.
Next, drive to the area known as Lunlunta. Hidden off a country road next to an old ivy-covered church, chime the bell of this tiny garage winery whose owner and winemaker is considered one of the fathers of Mendocino terroir. Using their own savings, ingenuity, and passion, they have transformed and reignited viticulture in this part of Mendoza. Try their hand-crafted wines and visit this enchanting place with the family. This is as local as it gets!
Lunch is a five-course gourmet endeavor at a family-owned estate where each dish is
skillfully paired with their full line of Malbec, from rosé to the reserva. Finally, just
around the corner, is the petit bodega of the Bressia family. They will welcome you into
their winery just like family. They love to share their craft. Their wines are long, satiny,
and ripe. Tasting with cheese board and conversation.
Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
