Wow. Just wow. I am in love with this winery. Why?
1. Flexibility: We were looking for a nearby winery to visit the day of, and this place was happy to accommodate the group of 10 of us even though we were walk ins at around 3pm.
2. Wine: I cant say that in a wine expert, but I can say that the wine was great, especially the rose malbec (which we ended up buying 6 bottles of to go) and the gran reserva malbec they had.
3. Food: When we had mentioned we were starving, the server regretted to inform us that the kitchen had closed and that they only served food at the dining tables. He hurried back 10 min later to inform us that they would be able to whip up some stews for us. He then proceeded to run out with tables and chairs for us to sit and nosh. We started with a stellar bread basket which came with small tasting bottles of olive oil and balsamic that they made (and sold) in house. So good. And the stews (corn stew and seafood stew) were just out of this world.
4. Space: it was just a pleasant area to be in to enjoy a lazy Sunday. Laying in the hammocks and the grass, we had the view of the winery and the vineyard in front of us. It was super laid-back without the hoity toity-ness of some of the bigger wineries in Mendoza.
5. Price: considering we had spent 4 hours there eating and drinking to out hearts content, we only ended up spending about 700 ARS (=$16 USD) per person. The wines were priced starting at around $7 USD per bottle.
6. Service: the service was excellent, obviously per the above. They really clinched it for us when we were about to leave, our waiter ran out to give a complimentary bottle of champagne.
Thanks for a great experience! read more
