Architecture, Art & Winery Design – Architects Bormida & Yanzón – Uco Valley
The architecture of wineries has become an essential attribute in the world of wine. In this trip you will explore with all your senses, mainly the visual one, the wineries of the Uco Valley designed by the prestigious architectural firm from Mendoza: Bórmida & Yanzón.
The departments of Tunuyán, San Carlos and Tupungato are located 80 km from the city of Mendoza. This area is at the foot of the Andes Mountains between 900 and 1700 m.a.s.l. It surprises visitors with its groves, the irrigation ditches and canals through which water flows and the vineyards that line the roads.
Early in the morning our driver and an expert guide will pick you up at your accommodation. Travel time to the first destination will be approximately 1 hour. During this trip we will tell you in detail the itinerary of the day and you will learn a bit of Mendoza’s wine history.
Upon arrival we will tour 3 iconic wineries of the world-renowned studio Bórmida & Yanzón. In each one you will discover the integrating concept between the architecture and its context, a characteristic that differentiates them. We will get to know in detail their construction style and we will go into cellars with stories and art galleries with exclusive works.
Together with the host guide, in the first two wineries visited, we will discover the purity of the materials used inside, and outside we will enjoy the design of xerophilic gardens with native plants to protect the environment. We will learn that in a desert like Mendoza, sustainable gardening is essential to preserve water resources and provide more microsites for local fauna. In each of the visits we will taste different varietals that will make the experience unique.
We will finish the tour visiting a third winery, with a gourmet lunch at the foot of the Andes Mountains paired with a selection of wines from the last winery we will visit in the Uco Valley.
Art, design and wine come together in a disruptive visit to the wineries that changed the way we see and drink wine! With everything you will learn on this tour, added to what you know about wine, you are close to becoming an expert!
