A mix of modern and old decor. Our tour guide was amazing. She presented the tour in a mix of English and Spanish. We chatted with her for a while. ¡Ella era cupado! We had a tasting after the tour. The bonarda was excellent! I could have stayed half a day eating snacks and drinking wine. But we arrived late - they were setting up for dinner. Tastings end at 6.

They were raving about the tour as they had done one of the tours (different options offered on different days) and they raved about it. They had a different guide, we had Viktor. He was amazing. The tours we took, which were closer to town, all amazing. Our group was a mix of Engish speaking, but also from other countries (a German living in the UK, a Belgian, Canadian and two other couples from the US). We started at Vinca Bandini. What an amazing estate. This was my first experience with Argentinian waters that came from the mountains. Here, water from the Andes were channeled into the Estate. It was also the the first place I saw a parilla. It was a fancy one compared to others I would encounter but since I love grilling over open fire, I was stoked. We did a small tour on golf carts before we started sampling. Our next stop was Bodega Casarena y Vinedos, another amazing place where we drank malbec's and cab's. After that it was time for lunch and we went to Terrazas de los Andes. I've posted the menu along with the four different wines we enjoyed and which they would refill if we found one we enjoy over the other. It was at this location too where I walked around as we waited for lunch and I had a chance to observe workers bringing in giant bins of grapes that would soon become the good stuff. Our final destination was Bodega Alta Vista. This wasn't so much of a tour, but an explanation and a tasting. This room was all class. Glass table top with spitting bowls/sink next to each seat. Honestly, I think any of the tours you take you are going to enjoy it. If you Google map any of these places, you will see that there are other vineyards close by. They are EVERYWHERE. The beauty of this company though is that you they come pick you up (we were at an AirBnB and then drop you off. It was that easy.

It was described as a small group activity which it was . Just two other couples joined us. Our first stop was a certified organic producer that was welcoming. After a tour of the facility, we tasted 3 different varietals. One a Merlot, the second a cab franc and the third a delicious Malbec. Excellent descriptions and tasting. The second stop was a delightful small producer and an enjoyable chat with the winemaker in what felt like going to grandmas house. Here we sampled 4 different wines along with a snack of flatbread. These were outstanding for such a small vineyard. Here we bought 2 bottles. Our last stop was an elegant property for our 8 course lunch with wine pairings. Yes 8 courses. Suggestion, go slow or you'll never make it though the meal. All along, Flo helped guide us through all of the tastings and made sure, everything was good with us. I'll attach some photos to give you an idea of our tour. I must say, this was one of the best if not the best wine tour we've ever been on. I hope that says a lot since we live in Northern California and have extensive experience with the wine industry. A few notes...this is an all day tour. We left the hotel at 8:45 and arrived back at 7:00 pm. Flor speaks great English as well as Spanish. No difficulty in communication. Our driver was also very good with our safety in mind always. All said, we highly recommend this tour if you are wine lovers and want a great hostess to guide you along the way. Thanks again Flor for a fantastic time.

This is my wife's account:…read more I found this vineyard in a magazine at our Airbnb. I decided since it was the second oldest vineyard in the area, we must try. The structures on the property were old, which was nice because all the other vineyards we've been to were new. We had a nice tasting outside. The service was great. Our wine pourer spoke perfect English, but did let us practice Spanish too. We bought a bottle of the Malbec. I'm drinking it right now with a risotto. I would recommend stopping here for a different feel than a majority of the other vineyards

We did do the degustation lunch. We had the five courses. Although everything was good and…read moresomethings were not as good as others. The price is probably about 150 Argentinian pesos too high. They started with a platter full of focaccia and their in-house pressed all of oil which was very strong and had great flavor. They also brought a small dish of green and black olives. The chefs choice starter was a thin slice of pate de foie gras. It had the right amount of cream to cut the strong flavor of the foie and was served with a sun-dried tomatoes bread and some drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar. It was very delicious. Next we had empanadas and the octopus app. Both very, very tasty. The empanadas were a little over cooked on the bottom just a little too brown, but they had a really great tasting though with plenty of fat in it and a salad salsa criolla. The octopus was very light with yellow lentils and a tasty pepper sauce. Next we had the bondiola - basically a pork shoulder steak which was lightly barbecued and unfortunately not worthy of a degustation. Strangely enough after 3 1/2 weeks of eating beef I still ordered the beef tenderloin. Glad that I did. It was perfectly cooked and approximately 6 ounces with a dollop of a garlic aïoli, three dollops of a mushroom reduction, a wine reduction that I could have consumed by the spoonful and a corn purée which was good but not great. Next was the cheese course which was an age 3, another one I cannot remember and a delicious blue. It was served with about a teaspoon and a half of a cinnamon spiced honey, some reasons I will not half and a quarter of a fresh fig. The desserts were a tiramisu which was semi frozen and an sautéed apples stuffed crêpe which was amazing. The group was so delicate and yet had some Christmas on the outside and the Apple filling was perfectly balanced with tartness and sweetness. We were served five wines with the lunch. The first was a Pinot Noir, the second semillon, the third a grand reserve malbec with grapes harvested here at the bodega, fourth a late harvest wine which was nearly as good as the Inniskillen ice wines from Canada I've had in the past, and the last was a sparkling wine made with 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay I believe. It had a tinge of golden hue to it from having been in contact with the Pinot Noir grape skins during the pressing. We stayed here four nights and very much enjoyed all aspects of this winery. The people are fantastically amazing and helpful. So even though the degustation was a little bit overpriced I still give this place five stars.

Wonderful tour and tasting experience from this family run winery!…read more I made a same day reservation online and arrived at the winery a little early. One of the employees asked if I wanted to join an English tour 30 minutes later than the one I scheduled, and I said yes. She offered me a malbec rosé to enjoy in the shop or at a table by the lake. I chose to sit outside and found it to be a beautiful place to enjoy my book and wine. The rosé happened to be the best wine of the five that I tried during my visit. The tour itself shares the beautiful history of how the winery was founded, lost, and bought back by the founders granddaughter, who will pass it down to her children. The guide showed us the cellar, original tanks, and a small exhibition. She also explained the wine making process from when the winery first opened. It was definitely the best tour I had in Mendoza. The tasting was saved for the end and was set up nicely. Everyone had a plate of amuse-bouche to be paired with each wine, and they easily accommodated me with a vegetarian selection. The guide took her time to explain each wine, the proper way to taste, and what foods to pair. She was also patient in answering everyone's questions. We tasted one white and three red wines, I felt the reds we tasted were much too dry but did enjoy the white wine. It was a lovely chardonnay that wasn't aged in oak, so it didn't have that smokey flavor. The total experience was five stars! I really loved my visit, but I am taking a star off because I didn't find all the wines to be of the best quality.
