Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The winery is located at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, in Tunuyán in the heart of the Uco Valley.
With a particular design of 4 wings that constitute in themselves a small cellar with two levels; and that converge in a circular central chamber, similar to an amphitheater; the winery is coveted by all the oenophiles who visit Mendoza, attracting thousands of tourists throughout the year, for its fine wines, its architecture, its artistic proposal, and the gastronomic and hospitality experience.

Stop 2

Andeluna winery is today one of the main tourist attractions of the Uco Valley. With a gastronomic proposal of excellence, this venture was born in 2003 with the vision of being one of the highest references in quality wines of Argentina.
Located under the imposing landscape of the Andes mountain range, and at the foot of the Tupungato volcano, you will enjoy its prestigious wines and the most delicious gastronomic delights.

A family business with a common vision that focuses on making wines based on respect, on their three terroirs: Valle de Uco in Argentina, Bierzo in Spain and Maldonado in Uruguay.
Mother, father and son share a way of interpreting a natural environment and its fruits, which meticulously seeks the essence of the character of each geography.
