Taste Malbec in the mountains on a private tour with stunning views
Combine stunning Andean scenery with delicious Argentine wine by taking our Malbec and Mountain tour through Valle de Uco and into the Cordon del Plata mountain range.
We pick you up at 9am and drive west into the mountains, ascending through a series of switchbacks into the thermal bath town of Cacheuta and pass the scenic Potrerillos dam, a turquoise lake that harnesses the waters of the rio Mendoza. We then go off-road through Carril La Carrera, one of Mendoza’s best kept secrets. This green verdant valley is in stark contrast to Mendoza’s ubiquitous desert hinterland and offers spectacular views of the Silver Mountain range. Eventually we reach the fertile Uco Valley, a high altitude vineyard region with the Andean foothills rolling down into colorful wine country.
At midday we reach Sophenia, located in Tupungato in the heart of the valley. This modern, boutique winery makes rich wines with that famous Uco mineral complexity, is a winery recognized as one of the highest quality wine producers in Argentina. To achieve this goal, Roberto Luka, its driver, chose Gualtallary, Tupungato, Mendoza, one of the most prestigious areas for producing high quality wines.
Roberto Luka, was CEO of one of the main exporting wineries in his country and President of Wines of Argentina and distinguished as Entrepreneur of the Year in 2016.
We then have lunch at Bodega Domaine Bousquet, located close to the town of Tupungato. This large, French-owned winery has a warm, welcoming restaurant with terrace and commanding views of the Andes and the vineyards. Here we try an exquisite 4-course lunch paired with 4 wines from their premium selection. Here you will have a multiple-course lunch with different wines whilst enjoying incredible views of the mountains.
Return to the city at 6pm.
Prices are per person but are based on two people booking a tour. Wineries are subject to availability an we do not visit the same two wineries every day.
