Lizzie`s Birthday at Ruca Malen Bodega

Keith took me to the most perfect place to spend my birthday - Ruca Malen Vineyard just outside of Mendoza. We arrived at 1pm for the 6 course tasting menu with matching wines. It was amzing! The food was delicious and the wines were even better than the ones we had tasted on our cycle the day before.


Merry in the sunshine! It was a very hot day and we spent a couple of hours sat outside after the lunch drinking champagne :)



We were told that we needed to get a bus from the city out to the vineyards and Ruca Malen would be a 20-30 minute walk from the bus stop. After we got off the bus we found ourselves completely lost in the middle of nowhere. After a half hour walk we found a little shop where the owner tried to help us book a taxi. When it was clear that this wasn´t going to be an option he went to ask his friend who had a big red truck whether he would take us and this is how we arrived at the swanky vineyard!
