In my opinion, this is the best winery in Argentina, with the most comfortable and friendly service. They went out of their way to accommodate us on more than one occasion. A very interesting tour with stories about the land and the opportunity to taste the difference.
I highly recommend everyone visit.
Absolutely loved this place, it was our first bodega on our trip to Valle de uco, I would definitely go again and highly recommend it to others! The English tour was great, the facility architecture was beatufiul and complemented the view of the Andes excellently. The kitchen was just firing up for lunch and I was a bit sad we were going elsewhere for lunch so definitely want to come back. The wine tasting was excellent and I loved the Chardonnay.
Went for premium wine tasting which also comes with a mini tour. It was very affordable, less than $100 per person. The wines were about $80 to $200 bottle retail. We get 15% discount after the tasting. The mini tour was just ok. It’s a lot of information you’d get on Google or Wikipedia - nothing ground breaking
We booked the Places & People tasting and had a great time. This winery has won many awards, which is what compelled us to come here, and it is truly evident as to why they are in the world’s best vineyards hall of fame. The details in the architecture, the knowledge of their staff, and their unique process crafts beautiful wine that are unlike anything else. Our tour was a small group of about 8 people, the perfect size to be able to enjoy the tour and not feel overcrowded. Our guide explained each part in both English and Spanish. The property is stunning but the inside is arguably more impressive! Each part of the property is so detailed and sleek. Our favourite part was the room inspired by a grape seed. It was great to learn about the history of the Zuccardi family along with what makes the Uco Valley such an abundant area for wine production. We tasted one white and four red wines with some cheese. Overall, I would recommend this experience!
First the good stuff….the food was excellent and the service was even better. We had a 9 course lunch (which was way too much food) but it was all excellent! Valentino, our waiter, was so attentive and explained everything so well, in English! The views would have been good if it wasn’t raining all day that day! So unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Andes Mountains! On a clear day, I can imagine it would be beautiful as were the grounds!
The bad thing was that we made reservations a few months ago and requested the 6 course menu because the 9 was too much! When we got there, they said things change and that day it was the 9 course!
In addition it was very expensive! Each luncheon price was based on the wine you were tasting. My speculation was that the lunch was $150 per person then with the wine paring it added to $179, $220+, $300+, $400+ depending on the wine. Because “things had changed”, we decided to go with the least expensive option. We were disappointed because out of 6 wines we only liked one! So we would have had to spend an additional $50 per person to taste at a minimum decent wine.
So overall it wasn’t as expected!
However the staff, food and would be view was great!
