I have a travel plan suggestion for Mendoza. The newest and modern wineries are in the Uco Valley, a wine region that is about 1 hour or more from Mendoza by car. But it is worth it!
On the way out of the city of Mendoza to the Uco Valley, my suggestion is to go through two wineries close to each other in Agrelo that have wonderful wines and stay at Finca Garciena, for example, if you are driving. If you have a driver, you can continue your trip to the Uco Valley, and stay at one hotel for the whole trip, for example, Tupungato Divino. A little further away, in Luján de Cuyo, there is Catena Zapata and Pulenta Estate, top wineries that can also be visited! In my last trip, and because I already knew these wineries, except from Catena Zapata (which you have to book 3 months early) I only visited Catena Zapata on my way to the Uco Valley. You can check this visit in my post of the top wineries I visited in my last trip.

So this is my suggestion travel plan for you! Don’t forget that the lodges and hotel suggestions are for you to leave the car at the hotel and do not drive after drinking. You can rent a bike and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful landscape! Comment here if you have any questions I’ll be happy to help!
