Wine tasting course in a winery

You will be able to become an expert with this wine tasting and sensory analysis course, touring the vineyards of Mendoza. You will get to know some emblematic wineries and their main production methods surrounded by the best views of the Andes Mountains.

In the region’s premier wine region, better known as “the cradle of Malbec”, we will immerse ourselves in a world full of perceptions that will help you understand the agro-climatic and enological factors that influence the characteristics of wine.

Through tasting techniques, we will learn to compare different wines with their aromatic descriptors. We will study some viticultural factors such as the aptitude of each variety for obtaining fruity wines, first fruits, rosés, light reds and wines for aging. We will learn about maceration times, optimal fermentation temperatures, some must extraction techniques, winemaking systems, trials with different yeast strains, fermentation in barrels and aging on lees.

In this visit you will be able to feel our passion for wine, after incorporating and maximizing the tasting techniques that will connect you with sensory perception, highlighting sight, smell and taste.
