Private Bike Tour with Wine Experience in Buenos Aires

We begin our journey at Puerto Madero, where the blend of history and modernity mirrors the progress of the country—much like the evolution of Argentine wine. The old docks, now beautifully restored, were once at the heart of trade and exportation that helped put Argentine wine on the world map. From here, we enjoy panoramic views that invite us to think about how wine has transcended borders.
The restored docks, once vital to the city’s port activity, are now a symbol of the balance between history and modernity. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Río de la Plata and the Buenos Aires skyline.

Next, we arrive at Plaza Francia, an iconic spot in the Recoleta neighborhood. This place is not only a cultural landmark but also connects us to Buenos Aires’ European-influenced history, which played a key role in the arrival and development of winemaking in Argentina. Here, we reflect on the historical backdrop that allowed wine to become an essential part of the nation’s identity.
On weekends, the plaza comes alive with a traditional artisan market and street performers, making it an open-air cultural hub. From here, you can also admire the impressive Centro Cultural Recoleta building and the nearby famous Recoleta Cemetery.

Although we won’t be going inside, standing outside Café La Biela reminds us how wine has been a fundamental part of Buenos Aires’ social culture. This historic café, a favorite gathering place for artists, writers, and notable figures, invites us to imagine the conversations and toasts that have taken place here, with wine as the silent protagonist.

At the National San Martín Institute, we pay tribute to one of Argentina’s greatest heroes, General José de San Martín, whose legacy is deeply intertwined with the country's identity. While not directly linked to wine, San Martín’s spirit of independence and vision helped shape the nation that would later develop its renowned viticulture.

In Parque Tres de Febrero, we pause at the sculpture of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, a key figure in Argentine education and culture. Sarmiento’s efforts to modernize the country set the stage for cultural developments that include the flourishing of Argentine wine as a symbol of social and national pride.

The Rosedal, a beautiful rose garden within Parque Tres de Febrero, offers a peaceful and picturesque spot to reflect on the natural beauty that contributes to Argentina’s fertile lands—perfect conditions for cultivating some of the world’s finest vineyards.

Though we won’t enter, the historic Giol Winery and the old Ferrocarril Pacífico railway station remind us of Argentina’s wine export history. Giol was once one of the largest wineries in the world, and the railway played a crucial role in transporting wine and goods across the country and beyond.

Our tour concludes in the vibrant Palermo neighborhood at Sommelier en Bicicleta, where you’ll indulge in a curated tasting of boutique Argentine wines paired with artisanal cheeses and cold cuts. This experience celebrates the rich flavors and traditions that make Argentine wine a symbol of friendship, celebration, and cultural pride.
