Bodegas in Mendoza are a-plenty! Impossible to visit them all, but here are the ones we think are worth going to.
Organic wines, a beautiful vineyard, and a Michelin-recommended restaurant. We enjoyed a tour and 5 course meal with 5 glasses of wine 🍷 each carefully selected to pair with our food. They also offer helicopter tours and horseback riding tours of th...
DURIGUTTI Family Winemakers
On Sundays, they host a peña, a family-style party with barbecue, live music and dancing. We stopped here as part of our bike tour and enjoyed their sparkling wine.
Winery Sur Huenten
We loved the torrentés sparkling wine here. Their brand and family story is super interesting, too! Really enjoyed our visit here overall
Bodega CarinaE
If we had more time, we would have loved to visit this one. We tried their sparkling wine at the airport lounge and it was great! It’s not all about Malbec in Argentina, their white wines are fantastic, too.

The official wine partner of the Inter Miami soccer team (Lionel Messi!) and holder of the 2024 best Malbec in the world title. We visited their bodega and got a free glass of wine!

What to do in Mendoza ⛰️🍷
Mostly drink wine, but there are other things worth doing, too! Enjoy Mendoza 🌄⛰️
This goes by sub-region. Do one or do them all! But keep in mind you’d need a day for each area. Plan for 2-3 bodegas per day. We rented with Mr. Hugo’s Bikes in Maipú and rode to 3 bodegas. It was more of a workout than we expected but super fun!

Bike wine tours
Hike, kayak, bring friends and have a barbecue, or simply walk around to enjoy the views like we did. We took a bus from Mendoza to the village of Potrerillos, but I think renting a car is the best way to go. The view spots are pretty far apart and w...
Visit Potrerillos
We would have loved to do this if we had more time! It looks so much fun and the views throughout the river are incredible.
THE 10 BEST Mendoza River Rafting & Tubing Activities (2025)
Hot springs with the most incredible mountain views! 🤩 The Andes Mountains are your backdrop. Make your reservations ahead of time because they fill up fast!
Termas Cacheuta
The hotel & spa has a private section of the hot springs much less crowded and more relaxing that the main park (according to reviews). We had reservations (must make in advance, even in low season!) but had to cancel because we got sick and coul...
Hotel & Spa - Termas Cacheuta - Mendoza - Argentina
The alfajores here are amazing and it’s clear why they won 1st place at the international alfajor competition! We tried the Malbec and the tiramisu alfajor. So, so yummy.
Try world-champion alfajores at Portal Del Viento
We shared the bife de chorizo (sirloin) steal and LOVED it. Their brand potato wedges with the garlic aioli sauce was a highlight as well. Paired with a Malbec. Our favorite restaurant meal in Mendoza!
Enjoy Argentine steak 🥩 at BOCCA
We visited this park many times during our 2 weeks in Mendoza. There’s always something going on, a craft market, and even comedians putting on a show.
