MENDOZA WINE TOURS
Day 1 : Transfer In
Day 2 : Full Day Small Group Maipú
Today we will visit three wineries that paved the way for viticulture and that still preserve their family traditions to this day, forming an important sector of wine production in Mendoza.
This tour was designed to share and enjoy an excellent wine day. To begin, we will visit the Trapiche winery that represents the richness of diversity. Throughout its history, this winery understood the strength of viticulture in this country, specializing in obtaining the best terroir, creating exclusive and delicious wines.
After a Premium tasting, we continue to visit Sin Fin, a family winery that offers a modern proposal in a 1937 property, completely remodeled.
Finally, we will visit the Familia Zuccardi winery. This family business was founded in 1963 by the engineer Alberto Zuccardi. At that time, he began planting vineyards in Maipú, experimenting with an irrigation system of his own creation based on a method used in California. Forty-five years later, the starting point of this journey merged the three generations united by a special passion: wine. In September 2015, the prestigious Decanter magazine recognized José Alberto and Sebastián Zuccardi as part of the five most influential personalities in Argentine wine. On this occasion, lunch will be at the Pan & Oliva restaurant, one of the restaurants located within Zuccardi, recognized for its delicious pasta and salads, perfectly combined with the different varieties of olive oil that is also made by the family.

Day 3: Full Day Valle de Uco – Giménez Riili & Piedra Infinita
At the southern tip of Mendoza, we combine two of the best wineries, top-quality tastings, and a harmonized lunch in a winery restaurant with one of the best views of the Andes. Among several wineries in the region, today we will visit family projects such as Giménez Riili and Zuccardi Piedra Infinita. After passing through beautiful streets adorned with trees, colors and mountains, we will arrive at the first winery called Giménez Riili. This family business is currently run by the third generation, and their mission is to make excellent wines that highlight the unique conditions of each terroir. Here we will enjoy nature harmonized with the tasting of wines made with love for work, care for the land and, above all, a lot of passion and patience. We continue to Zuccardi Piedra Infinita in the Uco Valley, which is a tribute to the austere and solemn mountain that defines the climate and soils of the region. The construction “emerges” from the ground and really “belongs to him” because it is made with natural elements: limestone and local white concrete. Towering stone walls and concrete tanks protect the wines. Here we will visit with a Zuccardi wine tasting. Each line of wine represents a concept, a belief, a tribute and a faithful expression of the vineyard where the grape was born.
