Visits and tastings at wineries are generally free of charge. Some of the oldest bodegas are to the south of the city around Lujan de Cuyo and Maipu. It’s worth getting a map to the wineries to make life a little easier as they are not always well sign-posted. Some bodegas are listed below with their addresses, telephone numbers and websites.
