Cycling through the Vineyards in Mendoza




We had a really lovely day cycling through the vineyards in Mendoza in a small group of 8 people and stopped at a beautiful winery for lunch.  

We visited 4 Bodegas in total and had a tour around each prior to the tasting.


Alta Vista was the largest winery we visited. It is owned by a French family who have a champagne vineyard in France, a desert wine vineyard in Hungary and the one that we visited in Argentina. We were shown the family´s private cellar for which only they have the key. Twice a year the family visits Mendoza to select a few bottles to take back to France!
