Country Day in Vivacs del Plata Ranch

The experience will start with coffee and fresh homemade pastries served outdoors, where the crisp morning air and mountain views will set the tone for what’s to come. Then, you will choose your morning adventure. You will ride on horseback across 400 hectares of rolling land guided by local experts, stopping at a scenic lookout for wine and cheese. Prefer wheels? Our 4×4 tours will take you off-road through hidden corners of the estate. If you’re after a challenge, you will take a bike and pedal high-altitude trails with breathtaking views. Or you will explore on foot with a guided or self-guided trek across open prairies and gentle hills. Every activity will be tailored to your rhythm and comfort level.

Back at the estate, a traditional empanada station will await you—freshly prepared and served warm as you relax. Lunch will be a four-course gourmet experience, where premium cuts of beef will be the highlight, accompanied by seasonal vegetables, fresh salads, and a curated selection of wines. Vegetarian or tailored options will also be available if requested in advance. As the day eases into afternoon, coffee and fine pastries will be served by the outdoor fireplace. There will be time to unwind, talk, or simply enjoy the silence of the valley as the sun begins to dip behind the Andes.

This will not be just a countryside tour—it will be a finely tuned day designed for those who seek privacy, connection, and comfort in every detail. And while the experience will be all about pleasure, it will also be grounded in purpose. Vivacs del Plata will operate with deep respect for Mendoza’s natural resources, especially its precious water. By choosing experiences like this, you will help support responsible tourism in one of Argentina’s most vital wine regions.
