In Mendoza you can also go out on horseback, by bike or on foot through the vineyards, and end the day with a sunset at a winery. The catalogue has horseback rides with tasting, bike tours, hikes and rides in vintage cars.
What outdoor plans are there?
Finca Bandini, in Luján de Cuyo, offers horseback rides with a tasting or with a seasonal menu, and a bike tour around the estate.
Doña Paula has a vineyard hike that ends with a tasting of five wines and a snack board.
Is there something different for people who already know the wineries?
In Maipú you can ride through the vineyards in vintage cars, tasting included. At Zolo, the vineyard walk is done in the company of llamas.
For the end of the day there are sunset options with wine and food in winery gardens.
Do I need experience for the ride or the bike tour?
