Finca Garcierena

A visit to Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina, would not be complete without spending a few days at a "finca," a lodge on a winery. So we decided to spend two nights at the lodge at Finca Garciarena and let Nemo, the Blue Bus, rest in the property's parking lot. This colonial-style property is housed in a renovated 1900 building and offers beautiful rooms overlooking the garden of a Malbec vineyard. There are only four rooms on the property. The two days spent at the finca were very pleasant, a total relaxation, we read and slept by the pool, although it is not our type of vacation. In a way, we had a mini vacation in our big Pan-American journey.Read more
