Tour Overview
Take a private full-day gourmet foodie wine tour to discover Mendoza and enjoy a journey into the diversity and passion of authentic Mendoza cuisine and wine.
Your first winery and gourmet visit will be at the Bodega Domaine St. Diego. Hidden off a country road next to an old ivy-covered church, the winery owner and winemaker is considered one of the fathers of Mendoza's terroir: Ángel Mendoza. Here you will taste hand-crafted Mendozan wines paired with homemade breads, olive oil, walnuts and almonds, while meeting the family.
Though vineyards dominate much of Mendoza's landscape, the local warm climate has given birth to another fascinating industry: that of olive oil. The wine and gourmet tour will continue with a visit to the Pasrai Factory to learn about olive cultivation, harvest, and the artisan methods of olive oil production. Here your taste buds will be spoiled with olive oils, dry tomatoes, olive pastry and much more!
After this perfect appetizer, continue to Finca Decero where you will enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The seasonal menu combines local Mendozan ingredients to form highly creative dishes which match perfectly with the estate's wines and that can be enjoyed with a panoramic view of the Andes.
Next on your wine and food route at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the focus of Ruca Malen is producing wines that speak of the land and their commitment to nature and the environment. The Mendozan estate's entire wine list will be at your disposal, including the famous and iconic "Kinien". The dining room is located inside a glass room in the vineyards with a view of the Andes. The menu is truly spectacular and the courses are perfectly balanced with intelligent wine and food pairings and great presentation.
On the way back to your hotel you will stop at Bodega Chandon. Internationally well known for its high-end sparkling wines, this top Mendozan winery will end your day on a high.
