Day 3 – We will start our wine tour in the historic Central Region of Mendoza’s wine country. It is here around the town of Luján de Cuyo that you will find the oldest vineyards in the region. Many of the wineries have been run by a single family since the late 19th century and the families keep tradition alive. Fundamental to the wine made in this region is the presence of the mineral rich Mendoza River which nourishes delicious Malbec, Chardonnay and Cabernet Savignon wines.

For lunch we will visit Kaiken, named for beautiful wild geese indigenous to Patagonia. The amazing views, knowledgeable hosts and delicious food will set the bar high for the rest of your visit to Mendoza.
