Enjoy an excursion to the exciting Valle de Uco, just an hour south of Luján in Argentina’s famed Mendoza region. Set in a lush agricultural valley dotted by orchards of almond trees, year-round sunshine alongside high-altitude conditions has transformed the Uco into one of the most exciting new viticulture areas in the world. Begin a tour in the town of La Consulta at its singular bodega, and taste a flight of its signature Tempranillo. Nearby stands the village of Vista Flores, the setting for a cheese and cabernet pairing with two protégés of French winemaker Michel Rolland. With sweeping views of the valley below, savor a farm-to-table lunch in Uco, before a one-on-one tasting with a local Cabernet/Malbec winemaker.
Embark on a day trip celebrating Argentina’s beloved Malbec from its home in the Luján de Cuyo region. Begin your day with a tasting and tour of a turn-of-the-century bodega. Then, drive to the Lunlunta area and visit a tiny garage winery, whose owner is considered the father of the Mendocino terroir. Enjoy a five-course lunch at a family-owned estate where each dish is skillfully paired with a full line of Malbec, from rose to reserve. Finally, complete your day at the petit bodega of the Bressia family with a cheese board and wine tasting.
