You can not miss the opportunity to enjoy, live and be excited with breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable moments! Visit Mendoza, a remarkable gay place to visit with friends.

Arrival Day. Your flight arrives at the Mendoza International Airport and you will be greeted by your host just outside the secure area, then driven by private car to an exclusive Country Inn, located in Chacras de Coria, an upscale country suburb of Mendoza City and the center of the original wine country… just a short drive from the major wineries of Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo.
The tour begins with an afternoon departure from the hotel to see the city of Mendoza. At night we will have a special dinner at one of Mendoza’s top restaurants Francis Mallman 1884, which the British newspapers The Times and The Daily Telegraph has rated the seventh-best restaurant in the world.

Day 2

After breakfast explore the Lujan de Cuyo district, the cradle of Argentina´s wine renascence, which put Argentina back on the wine map with its stunning Malbec.
The tour starts at Bodega Catena Zapata. Besides the striking, Mayan-pyramid inspired architecture, Catena Zapata offers unparalleled views of the Andes and the surrounding vineyards. The winery symbolizes a family’s pride in its roots and a keen desire to show to the world the uniqueness of Mendoza as a wine-producing region.
The next stop is Bodega Finca Decero, a new winery with a superb view of the Andes mountain range. The privileged characteristics of the terroir and the weather conditions of the area allow the cultivation of outstanding red grapes. After the tour and tasting have an exclusive gourmet lunch at Ruca Malen, enjoying its delicious cuisine as well as a vertical wine tasting. Ruca Malén works with the key concept of QUALITY, in order to produce wines of style, elegance, and distinction.
The tour ends with a visit to the Bodega Tapiz, owned years ago by Jess Jackson and his Kendall-Jackson wine group. Carolina Fuller is a charming Anglo-Argentine guide with a great passion, expertise and infectious enthusiasm for wine making. She will show us the vineyards and explain planting, pruning and harvesting techniques, encouraging tastings at every stage of the process, from grapes to bottle. Tapiz usually includes a horseback ride through the vineyard !
We´ll have dinner at Club Tapiz, located on an estate built in 1890 and surrounded by vineyards, which is regarded as one of Mendoza´s best restaurants.
