CITY WINE TASTING TOUR

Your host picks you up from your hotel at 9.30am to tour Mendoza City.   We will visit the main plazas; Independencia (which plays host to a Modern Art Museum and a theatre), Plaza España and Plaza San Martín.   Next we visit Las Heras Street Museum and the historical indoor Central Food Market, before heading to Parque General San Martín.   At the top end of the park we ascend Cerro de la Glora (Glory Hill) crowned by a magnificent statue of San Martin and his Liberation Army, together with “Liberty” breaking the chains of bondage. Erected on top of and around the sides of a natural rock plinth   It really is one of the worlds   most powerful and complex bronze sculptures, executed by the well known Uruguayan sculptor Ferrari, with help from four Italian sculptors nearly one hundred years ago. On the way up  the hill   we will see the almost Greek looking amphitheatre (25,000 capacity) the permanent home of the annual and hugely popular Crowning of “The Queen” (see Wine Harvest Festival). Towards the bottom end of the park we will come to the Parks Lake, around which we can take a walk and stop for a coffee. Back into the transport to see the Civic Centre, where many of the Provinces essential government offices are located. 

Following this we visit one of the most prestigious tasting rooms in Mendoza to enjoy a Reserve flight tasting.   Here you will taste five different Ultra Premium wines from boutique wineries that you not be visiting.   We lunch in wine themed restaurant “ Mi Tierra” before returning to your hotel.
