Bodega Vistalba — Attraction in Luján de Cuyo

Went for the 3 pm “Classic” tasting which was fantastic, one of the best wine tastings I’ve been to (and definitely the best in Mendoza so far). The setting of the bodega is stunning, with vineyards set in front of the mountains, as well as beautiful stone buildings where the wine is processed. Tasting had 4 wines included which were all great and provided a nice variety. We were also allowed to have a top up of the odd glass which was well appreciated.

Format of the tour is really unique - you walk around the vineyard and the processing rooms, and receive a new glass of wine at stations throughout the tour - much more fun than the wine tastings done in one room! Great to see the production facilities, my personal highlight was the cellar with hundreds of barrels of wine aging.

The overall experience of the tour was made by our guide Fede, a winemaker professional fluent in English and Spanish who was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating of all our questions.

This was a real highlight, would highly recommend and...

We did the tour and tasting in English with Florencia. This was the first tour I did in Mendoza that shared a bit more info on the actual grape growing which was interesting. She shared info with us on the sparkling wines as well.

The tasting was lovely. We tried a sparkling wine, a Sauvignon blanc, a Malbec, and a red blend I think. There was an open bottle of Florencia’s favorite—their Syrah—so she let us try some of that as well. After the tasting, she offered us a bit more wine so we brought that outside and enjoyed their spectacular view.

The tasting was very affordable as well and was half the price of another one we...

We arrived late in the day and it was only 40 minutes until close. Our taxi got lost and could not find where we were going. The staff was so kind when we got there. We missed the last tasting and tour of the day but we still had a wonderful experience. The gentleman at the desk was kind enough to give us a glass of wine and let us walk around to have a look and take pictures. The views are incredible there. At the end he called us a taxi to pick us up and would not allow us to pay for the wine since we had troubles. Such a kind gesture that was so appreciated! Thank you...
