Ultimate Maipú Adventure: Winery Tour & Gourmet Lunch

Since 1988, Argentine enologist Angel A. Mendoza, along with his wife Rosalía E. Pereyra and their three children Juan Manuel, Lucas Nicolás and María Laura, started designing a family micro-enterprise. The development of a worthy millennial activity: being a family of passionate winemakers. The main goal has been "bottling and selling on the property" a limited production of their own vineyard wines. The domain is located in a privileged soil of the Lunlunta district, in the department of Maipú, Mendoza province.

A passion transmitted from parents to children in the noble profession of winemaking, that brings pleasure, health, togetherness, and friendship to the tables of exclusive clients and friends. The dream of a family that enjoys what they do, exalting the taste of the land that gives them a dark, gentle, and warm wine. Made with the same fervor as their grandparents.

Federico Benegas Lynch in 1999 acquired an old vineyard planted by his great-grandfather in one of the best areas of Mendoza, and launched himself into wine production. In this way, the old history of the Benegas (original founders of Trapiche) began a new chapter. Here we will visit a centennial winery, with one of the most beautiful and oldest cellars in Mendoza.

You'll have 3 course meal lunch at Club Tapiz, a Restó located in a 1890 residence surrounded by 14 hectares of vineyards and olive trees, declared a historical, architectural, and tourist heritage. Adjacent to it is an old winery where wine was made until 2002. Today its walls not only enclose long hallways flanked by large oak barrels, but also house the Pour le Galerie salon, with a magnificent 22 x 4 meter mural by artist Sergio Roggerone. The space can accommodate 200 people, has its own tasting room, wine cellar, and sparkling room with an explanatory mural of the process. The "Sparkling Space" has a wine cellar with desks and a mural that explains the process. The rear of the building houses the olive oil plant equipped with the latest technology and open year-round for visits, where different award-winning varieties can be tasted. Pour Le Galerie was created out of love for art and can be used for cultural events and social gatherings.
