Michelin Guide Mendoza 2026: The Top Winery Restaurants Awarded Stars
Mendoza cements its standing as South America's premier culinary wine destination with four Michelin Stars and three Green Stars awarded to vineyard dining rooms.
The Michelin Guide 2026 edition for Argentina has officially confirmed Mendoza's global culinary standing. Four winery restaurants have retained or earned coveted Michelin Stars, alongside multiple Green Stars for sustainable gastronomy, making Mendoza the only wine capital in South America with direct Michelin representation among its vines.
The 2026 Michelin-Starred Winery Restaurants

- Casa Vigil (El Enemigo, Chachingo, Maipú) — 1 Michelin Star & Green Star: Alejandro Vigil’s Dante-inspired winery feast where wood-fired culinary genius meets world-renowned Cabernet Franc and Gran Enemigo blends.
- Brindillas (Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo) — 1 Michelin Star: An intimate tasting room offering minimalist, hyper-refined contemporary pairings alongside premier cru Mendoza selections.
- Azafrán (Mendoza City) — 1 Michelin Star: Featuring one of South America's deepest walk-in wine cellars where guests select their own pairings alongside avant-garde Argentine cuisine.
