I went to Renacer on a private tour and had a great experience. The guide at the site was a friendly, smiling woman who showed me and two other visitors their cellars and landscaped grounds as well as vineyards, and also sat down with me for a tasting of three of their wines. It was a memorable experience in a beautiful setting.

After 2 weeks in hectic Buenos Aires, we embarked on a degustation tour around the lovely city of Mendoza - west of B.A., and near the Chilean border. But after a while, we staled with the constant presentation of haute-cuisine, personality-free restaurants, and were then driven by our sympathetic and knowledgeable guide, Xavier, to La Azul Winery, in the famous Uco Valley. Bingo!! Real food at last! Delicious Choripan (the genius who invented this simple snack, used for every conceivable occasion possible, should be given a medal). It's Chorizo sausage sliced and barbecued, in a bread bun, with the famous Chimichurri sauce - the rightful ambrosia of South America. Then follows the asado (main course barbequed meats) - scrumptious! And then there's the wine - Mendoza is world-renowned for it's 900 wineries in the area, and especially for the gorgeous wines made from the red Malbec grape variety. La Azul makes several wines, but notably their Cabernet-Malbec flagship blend, and an outstanding unoaked pure Malbec (this is a must try!). Well, with all that terrific food and excellent wine down the hatch, and an unyielding eyeful of those stunning, snow-capped Andes Mountains, you feel a lot closer to your god - an everlasting experience. La Azul is a simple winery: easy to drive past. But search among the plainness carefully, and you will find gold. For us, just this single experience, with all else to see in Argentina, is the one that's most fondly remembered.

This little gem was a great experience even with my 2 kids. We arrived and had lunch with the most amazing food and wine at a very good price. The man servering us (Daniel) was able to explain in Spanish and English and gave great attention to our kids and took them to feed the fish in the pond they have. His service was outstanding. After a quick lay in the hammocks outside then off to a wonderful tour with Freddie who's English was very good and the tour was so informative. Nothing was too much and they even called taxis for us to get home. Super recommendable ..

We were lucky enough to be introduced to this gentleman and his wine in 2017. Tonight, we celebrated a milestone but sadly finished the last bottle we brought back from our trip. The whole experience of visiting Bodega Carmelo Patti proved to be one of the greatest highlights on the best vacation we've ever taken. Carmelo is authentic, earnest, and friendly. He crafts incredible wine that tastes all the better because you feel like he's an old friend and that you're part of his family within minutes of arriving. This is a spot worth seeking out if you're in or near Mendoza, and if you enjoy wine, look for a bottle wherever you can find it. You won't be disappointed.

This winery was really upfront and fast to set up agendas. Mayra and Ney make this a very special place! They are very supportive and friendly. The wines are amazing and if we compare to grand wineries I can assure you that it won’t lack quality at all! Actually it is much more interesting to visit them than major brands that you can find all over the world!
