It was a wonderful experience. We had a 9-course "experience" and it was fantastic. The food was on point and the wines served were perfect. There was also a very nice view and a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter Nicolas was very friendly and accompanied us professionally through the courses. We would be happy to go again, it was fantastic!

A stunning property and winery - touring through the facility and learning its history and wine making process was interesting and the wine tasting was lovely. The Andes Mountains provide a picturesque backdrop for the vines making the experience even more memorable. A must visit when visiting Mendoza.

We went for a guided tour at noon and had lunch with the 6-course menu and matching pairing. The winery is beautiful and the architecture is really impressive, especially the cellar. There is an art gallery and at the entrance there is also a chapel that you can visit. The food is very tasty and the attention is a ten. They gave us a discount on the value of the menu because we were Argentinian.

We took a guided tour with a tasting led by Owen, who explained the history of the winery and the process of harvesting, fermentation and aging or maturing the wines. It is worth taking the tour and tasting the wines. I would like to highlight Owen's kindness, explanation and friendliness.

The best winery we visited! Javier was in charge of the tour and tasting and it was the best explanation of the trip. The winery is beautiful, very big and has well designed modern spaces. There is also a gallery called Kilka with artwork, a very well curated place. Safety pin
