Making our own wine as a family

Making our own wine as a family

Get ready to live a day like a professional winemaker! We are going to make our own exclusive wine, but this time we will do it as a family.

Mendoza is well known for its renowned wine regions. In each of them you will be amazed by its streets of endless groves, the irrigation ditches that water the vineyards and its landscapes tinged by the best views of the Andes Mountains.

For a complete experience, we will start the day early in the morning. Early in the morning, a Sak driver will pick us up at our lodging. When we arrive at the chosen winery, one of our guides will take us through a path of aromas and typical sensations of Mendoza. As a family, we will learn about the history of the place and its varietals. We will take a fun walk through the vineyards, where the little ones will discover how vines are cultivated in the middle of a desert. We will visit the cellar, where we will taste some exclusive cuts straight from the barrel and an exquisite grape juice for the kids.

In this family winery tour, children will be able to connect with the exciting world of wine through activities specially designed for them. Our experienced assistants will have prepared different attractions in the gardens of the wineries. Fun interactive entertainment where they can play at being harvesters or pruners in the vineyards, depending on the time of year.

Finally, it will be time to get inspired! An exclusive tasting room will be waiting for us with everything we need to make our own wine. First we will get to know three varietals, learn about their main characteristics, aromas, flavors, body and texture. With the help of a sommelier we will have to apply everything we have experienced to create our own blend. The name and label of the wine will be in the hands of the little ones, we will let their creativity fly so that they can express all their talent.

After finishing our wine, labeling it and corking it, it will be time to enjoy a regional lunch with the family, where we will be able to pair typical dishes with the best wines of the region. This is a visit designed so that each member of the family can connect with the world of wine from a special place.

At SAK Wine & Travel we want our trips to be a transforming experience for those who visit us and we know that sustainable tourism is the tool to achieve it. That is why in every excursion you do with us you are contributing to the care of Mendoza’s water.
