Biking through Vineyards

Take the opportunity to ride a bike through the vineyards of Mendoza, visiting two famous wineries such as Norton and Susana Balbo in Luján de Cuyo!

DETAILS

Around 8:40 am, we will pick you up at your hotel located in the city center of Mendoza to begin our day full of beautiful landscapes and excellent wines!

09:30 am - Guided tour, bike ride through the vineyards, and wine tasting at Bodega Norton.
Founded in 1895 by Edmund James Palmer Norton, an English engineer who was one of the first to set his sights on the rural area of Mendoza during the construction of the railway line that connected Mendoza with Chile. This winery has positioned itself as one of the country's main wine exporters, currently reaching more than 60 countries.

An expert guide from Norton will first take us on a bike ride through the vineyards, making various stops, each one more beautiful than the other. Then we will visit the winery's facilities, experiencing different styles of Malbec from tanks and oak barrels to bottled products along the way. Finally, we will taste some of their wines accompanied by cheeses in the winery's cellar.

11:30 am - Guided tour, bike ride through the vineyards, and wine tasting at the boutique winery Finca Bandini.
The winery founded and led by Federico Bandini presents five wines with very different personalities that at the same time reflect the particularities of an exceptional terroir located at the highest point of Luján de Cuyo.
With a very distinctive stamp that distinguishes its wines, Finca Bandini has been producing high-quality labels since 2019. 
Here we will start by pedaling directly through their estate, which is huge and has many places to stop and enjoy the beautiful landscape. In the end, we will go to the winery house to taste some of their high-end wines.

1:30 pm - Guided tour and picnic-style lunch with wine at Susana Balbo Winery.
A great adventure bike ride deserves a good meal, so we will have an excellent picnic lunch enjoying what the Críos restaurant at Susana Balbo Winery offers us. Before returning, we will tour the winery, which reflects the past with its old style but uses the most modern vinification methods. Because of this, its wines present the best qualities and become the ideal excuse for a toast at all times!

4:30 pm - After this unforgettable experience, we will return to your hotel in downtown Mendoza.
