A scenic drive leads from Mendoza into the heart of the Uco Valley, where rows of vines and the foothills of the Andes create a striking backdrop. As you travel through the region you will encounter dramatic landscapes, terraced vineyards and olive groves that illustrate the agricultural traditions of this high-altitude wine country. The day is paced to allow time for exploration at a selection of notable cellar doors, where visitors can observe production areas, learn about altitude viticulture and taste a range of varietals typical of the region. Along the route there are elevated viewpoints that provide excellent photo opportunities and a chance to appreciate the valley’s topography and mountain views. Commentary enhances the experience by explaining grape varieties, local terroir and winemaking techniques used by producers of different sizes. This outing is ideal for those who enjoy wine, landscape photography and relaxed cultural discovery; comfortable footwear and a camera are recommended to make the most of vineyard walks and panoramic stops.
