Its alluvial soils, sunny days and cool nights produce rich, velvety Malbec, much of it from old vines planted generations ago.<\/p>\n Districts such as Agrelo, Perdriel, Vistalba, Las Compuertas and Chacras de Coria sit just 20 to 40 minutes from Mendoza city, so you spend less time in the car and more time tasting. With more wineries than any other part of Mendoza, the region offers the full picture of Argentine wine: century-old cellars, cutting-edge wineries, large estates and cozy boutique producers where the winemaker might pour your glass.<\/p>\n It’s the classic choice for a first wine day in Mendoza.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ max_width=”900px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/borravinowinetours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/lujan-de-cuyo-winery-barrel-cellar.webp” alt=”Oak barrel cellar at a winery in Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo, Mendoza” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ force_fullwidth=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Your day” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”30px||20px||true|false”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ max_width=”900px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#97183E” header_2_font_size=”34px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”21px” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.75em” link_text_color=”#97183E” text_orientation=”left”] We pick you up at your hotel in Mendoza city, Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo or Maip\u00fa, or at the airport, and head south into the vineyards.<\/p>\n We usually combine a traditional, historic estate with a modern or boutique winery, so you can compare styles, see different ways of making wine and taste side by side. Your guide will introduce you to Argentine wine, its culture and its history along the way.<\/p>\n Lunch is the main event: a multi-course menu of local cuisine at a winery restaurant, each course paired with the house wines and finished with dessert.<\/p>\n We drive you back to your hotel at around 4:00 pm, with the rest of the afternoon free.<\/p>\n Every tour is private, so the pace is yours.

Solo travelers are welcome, with a supplement.<\/p>\n Yes. You’ll have your own vehicle, driver and guide. We never mix you with other groups.<\/p>\n Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo is closer, classic and ideal for a first visit, with rich old-vine Malbec.
