This was the one I was most excited about before coming to Mendoza and for good reason! The wine was fantastic, the views were absolutely incredible, but as always with me, I was most excited to try the food and it did not disappoint!

Riccitelli Wines

I dare you to try their tasting menu and not drool over every single dish. Throw in the amazing service and quiet scenic backdrop and you have, in our opinion, the top winery to visit in Mendoza. 

Bodega Renacer

Beautiful and fairly close to the city!

Bodega Renacer was recommended to me by a friend I met in Mendoza and given the closeness to the city (and ease of access for those with no car) I was shocked by both the food and the wine. Immediately I was greeted by what I can only describe as a green apple champagne followed by the best focaccia bread I've had in quite some time. 

Ojo de Agua

Bodega Ojo de Agua
@TheTakeaway
Delicious poached pear and gorgeous views!

On the flip side Ojo de Agua is quite a bit further outside the city and down a dirt road or two. Make sure to have transport back planned here. The landscape and tasting menu are well worth the drive!

Zuccardi Wines

Bodega Santa Julia (Zuccardi)
@TheTakeaway
Add to
Details

So if you're in Mendoza city without transport I recommend this location so you can try the amazing Zuccardi wines and award winning empanadas. 

Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco
@TheTakeaway

Details

But this is their primary location and as you can see quite a bit south and out of the city. 

If you find a taxi driver you like using they will often carry business cards on them so you can contact them again for your return trip home. Make sure to have transportation pre-arranged and carry cash just in case. 

Enjoy! 🍷

While we love a good bar as much as the next person, our real passion is finding the best food in every city from hidden gems that only the locals know about to Michelin starred high-end restaurants.
