Luján de Cuyo Region

Just to the south of Mendoza city, across the Mendoza river, lies Luján de Cuyo, a village entirely surrounded by vineyards and wineries. In 1993, Luján de Cuyo became Argentina’s first official appellation, the result of which has been a steady increase in both the quantity and quality of wines produced there. Malbec in particular is successful in Luján de Cuyo.

Uco Valley Region

Approximately 90 minutes south of the city of Mendoza, Uco Valley encompasses the highest altitude Argentine vineyards, averaging between 900 and 1200 meters above sea level. Its striking natural setting below a stretch of the Andes that includes the 6,800 meter Mount Tupungato. The valley has a dry weather and the wide thermal amplitude between day and night have created its distinctive microclimates that result in super premium wines.
