Wine Tourism in Mendoza: A Guide to Must-Visit Wineries
Mendoza’s wine country is divided into three main regions:
- Luján de Cuyo (30 min): the birthplace of classic Malbec, featuring both historic and modern wineries.
- Maipú (25 min): traditional and family-oriented, home to sustainable producers and heritage brands.
- Uco Valley (1h30): high-altitude vineyards, cutting-edge architecture, and expressive wines.
Highlighted wineries you can visit with SAK include:
- Budeguer (Luján): boutique design and a modern approach to winemaking. Tastings include premium labels, a blending game, and regional charcuterie.

These visits go far beyond wine tasting: they invite you to experience wine where it’s born—its land, people, flavors, and philosophy.
