Chapter 4 of 5

Hallazgos boutique

If you’re a first-timer with two full days in Mendoza wine country, build it like this: Day 1 in Luján de Cuyo — Catena Zapata in the morning, an intimate boutique like Achával Ferrer or Durigutti for lunch. Day 2 in the Uco Valley — Zuccardi Valle de Uco in the morning with lunch at Piedra Infinita, Salentein or SuperUco in the afternoon. That two-day arc takes you across nearly every aspect of Argentine wine — the iconic family, the architectural vanguard, the boutique terroir movement — and lets each visit breathe.
