Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 61 reviews
Pablo, who comes from a traditional Argentinean family, with roots in ranching and agriculture, together with María Laura Toso, whose family name is a protagonist in the Mendoza viticultural industry, provide constant encouragement to their children in the continuation of the family business: Vinos & Hacienda S.A., which encompasses the following principal family activities: -"Hacienda del Plata" winery and vineyards are where Juan Pablo, Rosario and Inés, pour their time, energy and creativity in pursuit off the personality of their wines. -"El Inicio", is a cattle ranch in the province of Córdoba, where Nicolás channels his resources and energy to create a sustainable dairy focused on obtaining the highest quality of milk together with a new venture: the production of "Sampacho" fine cheeses. The family unites its blood, strength and passion. Time, patience and tradition are the masters of excellence. The span of years tell the story... nothing is easy. María Laura and Pablo renew the importance of family strength in their children and respective families. They urge them to risk and challenge themselves in the search of their goals, to contemplate those who are on the road with them and keep them by their side, to appreciate and be thankful for all they receive, and above all else to maintain the high values and principles that guided their own ancestors.

I went to Renacer on a private tour and had a great experience. The guide at the site was a friendly, smiling woman who showed me and two other visitors their cellars and landscaped grounds as well as vineyards, and also sat down with me for a tasting of three of their wines. It was a memorable experience in a beautiful setting.

We visited Casarena at the recommendation of our local wine tour Uncorking Argentina. Upon arrival to Casarena we were greeted by Cynthia, our tour guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasant and genuine. In a concise manner, Cynthia was able to tell the story of Casarena, from the early days to the current state. Casarena is a limited production Bodega, focusing on maximizing their terroir to produce excellent wines, I would recommend the inclusion of Casarena to anyone that is looking for producers that pay close attention to detail. After our visit, we will be seeking out Casarena wines in NYC.
4. Bodega Cruzat. Bubbles Experience
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 363 reviews
Cruzat is a winery intended only for the production of quality sparkling wines, produced using the traditional method or "champenoise" (second fermentation in the bottle). The winery was founded in 2004 by a group of Chilean businessmen and by Argentinian Agricultural Engineer and Winemaker Pedro Federico Rosell. WINE TOURISM The experience of knowing this "factory of sparkling" goes beyond a tour and tasting. From the winery we strive for visitors to learn, identify and compare with other elaborations and process. The production area is open to our curious visitors; you can see and sometimes work at the cellar, the disgorging machine and label some bottles. The tasting room is oriented to the Andes Mountain and vineyards. We propose that our visitors enjoy and learn from what we do every day.

Our tour by Ampora Wine Tours started at Cassone. The winery tour was great and they seemed to use the interests of our group to focus on the aspects that were most interesting to us. After tasting four of their wines we were super impressed with their operation and passion for their work. A+!

This little gem was a great experience even with my 2 kids. We arrived and had lunch with the most amazing food and wine at a very good price. The man servering us (Daniel) was able to explain in Spanish and English and gave great attention to our kids and took them to feed the fish in the pond they have. His service was outstanding. After a quick lay in the hammocks outside then off to a wonderful tour with Freddie who's English was very good and the tour was so informative. Nothing was too much and they even called taxis for us to get home. Super recommendable ..

We were lucky enough to be introduced to this gentleman and his wine in 2017. Tonight, we celebrated a milestone but sadly finished the last bottle we brought back from our trip. The whole experience of visiting Bodega Carmelo Patti proved to be one of the greatest highlights on the best vacation we've ever taken. Carmelo is authentic, earnest, and friendly. He crafts incredible wine that tastes all the better because you feel like he's an old friend and that you're part of his family within minutes of arriving. This is a spot worth seeking out if you're in or near Mendoza, and if you enjoy wine, look for a bottle wherever you can find it. You won't be disappointed.

What a nice experience we had during our wine tour with The Tintos last march - personal visit with "the makers", although they had a lot to do during this time. And then an outstanding lunch with wine pairing while looking at the vineyards and the Andes. Thank you Emma (and The Tintos) for making our visit so special, including letting us taste some wines that where not included in the standard tour :-) Do not miss visiting Riccitelli, you will love them (the wines, the food and last but not least, the people behing it ;-)

What a beautiful winery. We visited Matervini through a tour arranged by Kahuak, and it was a phenomenal experience. The facility is gorgeous and we loved the wines so much that we joined the wine club. Imagine our surprise to arrive home to an issue of the Wine Spectator featuring the best Malbec wines and 2 of the wines we purchased from Matervini were in the top 10! Our host, Gustavo Biondo was kind, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Our visit was early in the morning and I really didn’t plan on enjoying the wines, but boy did I ever!!! For us, this was one of the highlights of our vacation! Thank you, Gustavo and Bodega Matervini!!!
