Bike ride through Mendoza’s vineyards

Bike ride through Mendoza’s vineyards

Visiting a vineyard in Mendoza’s most iconic wine region by bike is, without a doubt, one of the most immersive ways to connect with nature. This journey through the heart of a renowned winery invites us into the fascinating world of wine while enjoying the great outdoors.

We’ll discover Mendoza’s oldest winemaking area—the birthplace of Malbec—set against breathtaking landscapes guarded by the majestic Andes Mountains. Depending on the time of year, we may ride alongside harvest trucks and follow the tracks left by tractors through the vines.

Our adventure begins early, with a private driver picking us up from the hotel. From there, we’ll head to the selected winery, where our experienced local guide will be waiting with all the equipment needed to gear up. We’ll go over safety measures and review the day’s route, which promises to be filled with nature, fresh air, and emblematic vineyards.

As we start pedaling—weather permitting—we’ll ride through rows of grapevines, discovering different varietals and learning about the meticulous care the vines require. Along the way, we’ll observe irrigation systems and hail protection techniques, and reach the estate’s water reservoirs, where we’ll get a deeper understanding of the teamwork and ingenuity behind viticulture in Mendoza.

This tour is designed as a full sensory journey. At the winery, we’ll enjoy an intimate tasting experience and explore the estate’s history, harvest methods, and wine aging process. Depending on the season, we might even witness the grape harvest up close, observing skilled workers hand-picking the clusters and sharing in the secrets of traditional winemaking.

To cap off the day, we’ll indulge in a multi-course lunch, perfectly paired with the winery’s finest varietals. This is more than a bike tour—it’s an experience that brings together the flavors of the land with the joy of slow travel.

By the end of this tour, you’ll gain a new perspective on how wine is crafted—and likely feel a deeper connection to Mendoza itself.

At SAK Wine & Travel, our journeys are designed to change something in you by the time you return home. We believe sustainable tourism is the way forward. That’s why we actively support Sustainable Development Goal No. 6: Water—an essential resource in Mendoza’s wine country.
