Renee M.

Excellent attention and explanation. Very interesting with delicious wines at a decent price. An absolutely adorable vineyard and restaurant. Can highly recommend a visit and to stay for lunch. The food was delicious and the atmosphere super relaxing. Beware to ring them beforehand to get instructions on how to get there because it's badly signposted.

Empanada with fig chutney

Fantastic wine pairing lunch. This was our last stop our day-long tour and ordered the three course meal with wine pairing. I ordered the pasta main dish and my wife and mom ordered the beef. Both were spectacular! The empanada appetizer with fig chutney was the stand out appetizer as the cream of corn was just average. Each course had a tasty wine to go along with it. The dessert was a candied pear with delicious malbec ice cream. Afterwards, we went on a short bilingual tour that was very interesting.

All I can say is WOW. One of the oldest wineries and one of the more unique ones I have visited. We had a large-ish group reservation for lunch and along with it came a brief tour of the grounds, which were beautiful. We were taken through the tank rooms, as well as the underground area that used to be the tanks - now holding the bottles. Very cool! Explanations were thorough and insightful and got us excited to finally try the final products! For lunch, you have the option for a 3-course or 7-course tasting menu (very reasonable pricing). Both included wine pairings. Went with the 3 course and it was fantastic (app - zucchini rolls with ricotta cheese topped off with grapefruit jam; starter - empanadas; main - steak). The wines that came along with the appetizer, starter and main were perfect. Our waitress did a wonderful job in describing the different wines (Chardonnay and 2 different types of Malbecs). I'm not the biggest wine drinker but wanted to purchase all the bottles post lunch. Unfortunately, I didn't have room to do so :(. Definitely planning to come back if I ever find myself back in Mendoza.

We decided to do a full day of winery tours with Trout and wine tours. (On TripAdvisor)…read more Alta vista is Winery number 1 We were given a small group tour thru the winery and she described the processes; timing etc for their wine varietals. She also showed us the owners private cellar- impressive. We ended with a tasting of five wonderful wines starting with sparkling and ending with the Cabernet Sauvignon. My ONLY complaint is the tasting room high top chairs were made of steel and glass and terribly uncomfortable. They have a beautiful patio area that you can enjoy some majestic views of the vineyards and the Andes mountains. I do not know the pricing of the tasting as everything is handled by our Tour company and prepaid in advance, but I was told it's around $10 USD a tasting.

This update is for the exceptional restaurant that has earned Michelin stars (I prefer Yelp but get…read morethat they are proud). This was our 30th anniversary dinner & a top five best dining experience we have ever had. I will not do this place justice by trying to describe the service, vibe and meal but here goes.... The feast was seven course paired with wine exclusively from their vineyards. The restaurant is owned by a French gentleman and is clearly a labor of love. This is the rare place that inspires. He owner provides a unique experience with elements of French and Argentinian cuisine. During our meal, we ate in the French dining room and then transitioned into the Argentinian dining room for the main course of steak and vegetables. The view from both dining rooms was spectacular with the vineyards in the foreground and snow covered Andes off in the distant. We had two excellent servers and the chef who would come out during certain parts of the meal. The scallops to start were from the Argentina coast and spectacular. The vegan empanada was . The fillet paired with a beautiful vegetable presentation literally melted in our mouth. The dessert was a French Argentinian expression of love. When the meal finally came to an end, we were comfortably full and enjoying the love from the wine. This was truly an amazing experience and now I understand why restaurant was booked for three days and luckily had availability our last day in country. It was worth the wait.

This was our last stop on our wine tour and was the first time I've ever been on a wine tour where…read moreyou actually did the tasting as you walked. I wasn't a huge fan of this. It was very quick, maybe 20 minutes or so? She gave us a quick tour of the storage and processing facilities as well as a quick step into the basement to look at aging areas. We then went upstairs to a conference room with the view of the Andes for the last tasting. Not really your typical tasting, for sure.

Casarena was the perfect spot for my final wine tasting experience in the Mendoza region. Casarena…read moreoriginated in 1937. The vineyards and winery are a century old and are now American owned. The owner fully renovated and brought new life back into the winery while keeping its historic past intact. I like how they maintained the skeleton of the old production building and recreated the space and updated it using state of the art winery technology innovations. Caserena is one of four vineyard estates. Each estate offers different geological and geographical differences. This provides diverse growing influences for the grapes, thus yielding amazing wines of the same varietal with unique nuances and flavor profiles. On the wine tour, they showed us the different climate and soil mixes for each estate. Fascinating! When touring the wineries of Mendoza it is necessary to book a reservation in advance. They don't take walk-ins like in the states. In Argentina from my experience, the wine culture is about providing an inclusive experience. Most tours start with a walk through the vineyards, a tour through the production facility, and then ends in a tasting room or if they have a restaurant, with a wine-paired lunch. Winery visits can at a minimum last 1 1/2 hours. It's time to slow down life here and enjoy. Take it all in. We found it ideal to visit only 2 wineries in a day as a result. At Casarena, like the other wineries, you first need to check in with the gate guard. My limited Spanish came in very handy here. They confirm your reservation with the tasting room manager and then they allow you to pass through the gate. The guard will then direct you where to park and meet for the start of your tour. At Casarena we met with our lovely lady tour guide. She poured us a glass of Rose to enjoy outside while we waited for other members of the group. Like all the other wineries. The view of the Andes mountains behind the rows of vines is stunning. The tour was very informative. We went through the vines and production facility. We got to peek into the old wine vats that they turned into a cellar for their wine library. They let me hold one of the largest bottles that they make!! Man that bottle was heavy. Definitely took some muscle to pick that up. After our tour, we walked to their restaurant at the back of the building for our wine-paired lunch. The restaurant is located in a beautiful modern building with all glass windows. Every table had a stunning view of the vineyard and mountains. The windows opened up onto their outdoor patio so you had an indoor-outdoor dining experience. The chef was busily cooking the meat on a BBQ right in front of us. They recently hired a new chef here, and this was their first tasting of their spring seasonal menu. It was a six-course lunch paired with wine. The food and wine here were incredible. The portions were larger than expected. The pairings were spot on. The food was artfully plated. Their wine was well structured. There wasn't anything I didn't like. We had an incredible time at Casarena. Delicious food and wine experience.

Almorzamos aquí cuando estaba Azafrán. Comimos muy rico y la vista es hermosa desde la terraza!…read more We had lunch here when Azafrán was on. We ate very well and the view from the terrace is beautiful!

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.
