On our first day of wine tasting, we went to two vineyards - Tapiz and Melipal. At Tapiz, we had a wonderful tour which included a horse-drawn carriage ride through the vineyard. On the tour, we learned about all the wines of Tapiz, including the two most well-known types of wine in Argentina - Torrentes and Malbec. The tour was interesting and the wine was great!
Next we headed to an amazing five course tasting lunch (with wine pairings) at Melipal. It was such a great meal! It was probably the best meal that we had in Mendoza.
