This week was all about food, wine and soaking in the vineyard-framed Andes views. We began our trip in the Luca De Cayo wine area at a charming converted “summer home” of a bygone age. Our first foray into local Malbecs set the stage for a great week.
We took the road-less-travelled to our next destination, driving up through remote valleys to take in the mountain scenery along the Cordon del Plata. Along the way, we are treated to some magnificent condors.
Our next stop would prove to be one of our favorites: Tupungato De Vino. It was a real treat to stay right in the vines, wake up to sun-soaked vineyards and spectacular Andes views, and to enjoy the magnificent on-site restaurant – with a selection of wine from over 300 local vineyards!
After a few days of indulging in the amazing food and wine, it was time again to “walk it off”. We chose to hike up the Chorro de la Vieja trail to the waterfall. This turned into a fun day as we negotiated some interesting ladders towards the end.
We finished the day and the trip as one should – with a glass of wine… Cheers!
