Wine experiences with different focuses

The wine experiences vary in their tours and tasting focuses. “Experience La Pampa” includes a tour of the barrel room and ends with an exclusive tasting in the main hall. “Experience Luxury” includes a guided tour of the vineyards, production areas, and underground wine cellar, along with a tasting of four wines. “Experiencia Malbec Valle de Uco” combines a tour of the vineyards, production areas, and barrel room with a tasting of five single-vineyard Malbecs.

“Blending Sessions” include a tour of the vineyards, winery, and barrel room, followed by a tasting of different grape varieties. When choosing a tasting focus, these different varieties can be compared with the five single-vineyard Malbecs featured in the Valle de Uco experience; “Experience Luxury” includes four wines. For a stronger focus on origin, “Experiencia Malbec Valle de Uco – IG Single Vineyard Malbec” explores different vineyard terroirs in IG San Pablo, at an altitude of more than 1,300 meters. Availability and schedules for experiences may vary; check the latest details before planning.

Art, winery, and history

In 1997, Salentein planted the Malbec vineyard at Finca La Pampa; it was one of Mendoza’s first vineyards at an altitude of 1,300 meters. The “25 cosechas” experience offers a different historical perspective, tracing the winery’s story from its beginnings as a pioneer in the Valle de Uco to the present day.
