Uco Valley Wine Tour

 Valle de Uco - Classic Tour


Salentein cellar
 
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.
 

We pick you up at 8.45am at your hotel and drive 45 minutes to Pulenta Estate , located in Alto Agrelo on the road into the valley. This winery is is small, modern and stylish with a minimalist style tasting room where we try some of Mendoza’s finest Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. We continue into the valley and arrive at Bodega La Azul , a small garagista winery making rich Malbec and Merlot. Here the tour includes an excellent explanation of the process from the actual winemaker, followed by an informal tasting of this small production wine.

We conclude the day with a visit to to Bodega Salentein , an ultra modern winery with an impressive, temple-like barrel room and modern art gallery. Here you will have a private tasting of their excellent Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec and Pinot Noir whilst enjoying a four-course lunch with incredible views of the mountains. Return to Mendoza at approx 5.30pm.
