Valle de Uco Wine Tour - Trout and Wine

Uco Valley has both altitude and attitude and is certainly one of the most interesting and stunning areas to do a wine tour in Mendoza. Situated in the foothills of the Andes, this new frontier in Argentine winemaking is attracting winemakers from all over the world. State of the art technology and gold medal terroir means the wine from this area is the future of Argentine wine. Your first tour is Bodega Andeluna, an American venture owned by Ward Lay of Pepsico fame. This stunning winery with breathtaking views of the Andes boasts one of the most beautiful and elegant terraces overlooking the vineryard. Here you will taste their excellent Chardonnay, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Second up is Bodega Benvenuto de la Serna , a boutique Argentine owned winery producing single estate wines. Their excellent Sangiovese betrays their Italian roots and they also produce a delicious Viognier. Here we will enjoy a tasting in their garden under a canopy of trees surrounded by vineyards. We conclude the day with a visit to Bodega O.Fournier, a feast for the eyes and taste buds with innovative architecture and award winning wines. You will taste the A and B crux wines whilst enjoying a lunch is their modernist restaurant and visitor center. Return to Mendoza at approx 6.30pm.
