Uco Valley Gourmet Wine Tour with Peter Wine Tours: Boutique Wineries and Malbec

Peter Wine Tours takes a small-scale route through Mendoza wine country: boutique wineries, hand-crafted wines and the people who make them, seen from the inside rather than from the tasting-room counter. Mendoza is the biggest and most important wine region in South America. It is also where family tradition meets Malbec, in vineyards first planted more than a hundred years ago by Italian, Spanish and French settlers whose lineage is still part of the local wine scene. The focus stays on small producers and family businesses. The stops below set the scene: the Andes behind the vines, and Lujan de Cuyo, where it all began.
