Maipú Wine and Olive Oil Tour

Meeting Point

Maipu

Heading east 20 minutes from Mendoza city is one of the oldest wine regions in Mendoza with many aged (and decaying) adobe buildings and old vineyards intermingled with olive trees. Maipú, a gem of a region steeped in rich wine making heritage and tradition is also famous for the excellent Olive Oil it produces. Here you will find over 100 year old vines and Olive trees planted together by the Italian immigrants that settled in the region. It possesses a rustic charm that is very different to the modern wine regions of the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. On this tour we will: • Visit a boutique winery in the morning and taste premium wines with a private tastings exclusively for Mendoza Wine Camp. • Head to a small Olive Oil factory to learn about the process, and taste Olive Oil • Finish with a relaxing 3-course food and wine pairing lunch on our third and final winery. • We will see a mix of wineries, combining the historic and family owned wineries with new projects that are part of the renaissance of this noble region. • Our friendly and knowledgeable English speaking guide will be ready to answer any questions you may have about Maipú’s wine heritage, the winemaking process, wine tasting or anything else!
