Daily Highlights:

✹ Old-vine Malbec and century-old olive trees at CarinaE

✹ Guided tasting at Alejandro Vigil’s El Enemigo

Your private guide meets you at your chosen pick-up point, and within minutes you’re heading south into Maipú, the cradle of Mendoza winemaking. The day begins at CarinaE in Cruz de Piedra, where you’ll stroll among old-vine Malbec and century-old olive trees before a guided visit and tasting in this boutique cellar, and hear the tale of the constellation that watches over each harvest.

From there, you continue to El Enemigo, the universe of Alejandro Vigil. A guided visit and tasting reveal why this winery has become one of the most talked-about names in Argentine wine, with expressive Cabernet Franc and Malbec at the heart of the experience. Then it’s time to slow down: a full, unhurried lunch awaits at Pan y Oliva, Familia Zuccardi’s restaurant, where olive groves, vineyards and warm Mendoza hospitality set the scene. Relaxed, and perhaps carrying a bottle or two, you’re finally driven back to your chosen drop-off point.
