Luján de Cuyo

This full-day tour rides through the vineyard region of Luján de Cuyo, one of Mendoza's premier wine-producing areas at the foot of the Andes. Riders pedal shaded avenues lined with poplars, eucalypts, Carolina poplars and weeping willows, with views west to the Cordillera de Los Andes, including Cerro El Plata (6,100 m).

The day includes stops at two boutique wineries for guided tours and tastings, with a six-course lunch paired with wine at the second stop. Wineries in the region include Catena Zapata, Piattelli, Melipal, Chandon, Norton, Terrazas de Los Andes, Belasco de Baquedano and Dominio del Plata by Susana Balbo (specific wineries visited on the day are not confirmed on the page).

A support car accompanies the ride throughout, and private transfers to and from the rider's hotel bookend the day.
