Uco Valley
Uco Valley. The Next Napa . It's still possible to get a feel for what Napa was like before the hordes arrived... A superb wine region with high altitude vineyards and mountains. It is tempting to the senses!
Our first visit will be to Bodega Atamisque. It is owned by John Du Monceau, a Frenchman who fell in love with the place and decided to settle here. As his wife, Chantal´s grandfather, had been a winemaker in Burgundy, she was keen to build a winery on the land, and so Bodega Atamisque was born, christened in honor of the original name of the area.
Journey a little farther south to the village of San José and drop in on Bodega Salentein. Respectful of the land´s vibrantly textured past, Salentein is equally inspired by the land´s remarkably promising future. It is this delicate balance of old and new- of blending the tradition of long-celebrated European winemaking methods with the bold ingenuity of the New World- that defines the Salentein style.
For lunch, drop in on Bodega Andeluna, a winery and vineyard rich with history and romance - just like the country it calls home. This beautiful place is the inspiration for the name Andeluna, which was chosen to symbolize the romance and heritage of the Argentine moon illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains that frame the Uco Valley near the town of Tupungato. Their cuisine represents a style of cooking mainly based on products and frequent variations. Concept that is taken with the aim of using fresh products that would create a menu with subtle constant changes and through this they will be able to offer a one-of-a-kind experience every time you visit their restaurant.
Return over the scenic, rolling hills back to Mendoza.
