Zuccardi Valle de Uco

Inaugurated in 2016, Zuccardi Valle de Uco blends in wonderfully with the landscape in which the mountains stand out. Chosen in 2019 and 2020 as the best winery in the world. The Zuccardi family rises to the top of the "The World’s Best Vineyards" category.

The experience is flourished by a journey through the vineyards, the different spaces, and the ‘Piedra Infinita’ restaurant. There they offer up to a maximum of 50 diners, a 4-course menu made with regional products, paired with Zuccardi wines, and with unparalleled views of the mountains.


Bodega Catena Zapata

Founded by Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Argentina in the late nineteenth century, planting his first vineyard in 1902. Later, in the 1960s, the winery was still governed by ancient Italian traditions, until his grandchildren decided to be inspired by the customs of Napa Valley and incorporate the Californian-French technique.

They planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and cloned Malbec at a higher altitude. The location and altitude give them an excellent natural acidity, structure, and color that guarantee the aging potential, smoothness, and intensity that defines Malbecs.

The stepped pyramid with Mayan style that dominates the winery located in Agrelo, Mendoza, stands out, where wine tourism activities are carried out such as an "immersion" in the history of Malbec, or a visit to the Adrianna vineyard - "The grand cru of South America" ​​- in Valle de Uco.

The winery offers three tours, a visit to "La Pirámide", the "Malbec Renaissance Tour" and "Adrianna Vineyard Grand Cru". Each of them is carried out in small groups, so it is advisable to reserve the date and time in advance.
