3 Best Sights in Wine Regions, Argentina

The Zuccardi family set up here in 1950 and has since expanded to the Valle de Uco, but their location in Maipú remains an important base for producing their popular, fully organic, Santa Julia range. The extensive tourist offerings here include harvest experiences and olive oil-making sessions in season, as well as tastings, cooking classes, and dining at one of two restaurants for lunch, including Pan y Oliva, where every dish uses the house olive oil. Be sure to appreciate the exhibitions, which support local artists' work.

Founded by a charming French couple, Philippe and Brigitte, who came to Mendoza to start a new life in wine-making, you can book in for a free short tour at this boutique winery. The garden is available should you wish to bring your own picnic. 

Federico Gimenez-Riili or his father are often available to show you around this family-owned boutique operation and offer you a taste of their wines straight from the barrel. If you want to stay for lunch, enjoy the paired tasting menu accompanied by fantastic Andean vistas.  There's also a seven-room guesthouse for overnight stays.
