Private Luján de Cuyo Wine Day: Chandon, Budeguer and Lagarde, Michelin Lunch

This is a private full-day wine tour in Luján de Cuyo, the Malbec heartland of Mendoza. A driver takes you there and back from Mendoza, and the day is built around three wineries and a lunch recognised by the Michelin Guide. At each estate there is a guided visit and a tasting, with the Andes in the background. The tastings cover Malbec and other varietals, and the first stop adds sparkling wine to the list. The lunch is the centrepiece. The restaurant is tied to a winery and holds Michelin recognition, and the meal is served with wines from the house. The format is private, so the pace is yours. It suits travellers who want a few top estates and a proper sit-down meal rather than a long string of quick tastings.
