Maipú Bike Wine Tour

So today we took our chances on a self guided tour of the wineries within Maipú (about a 30min train ride from the centre) and needs to be said we had the good company of another traveller, who was the total wine snob, so worked out well lol... Well mostly! 😂 🤣😳 Maipú is one of the main 3 areas in Mendoza (Uco & Luján de cuyo being the other 2) Maipú has around 400ish vineyards just in this one area, so we decided 4 vineyards were managable for the day 😉 with the 18km bike ride round trip the scenery was beautiful. We started the tour with just free wine stop at a local wine shop... Why not, then carried on to each of the vineyards, consisting of family run, larger wine suppliers and young vineyards. So by the end of the day we were feeling a bit merry, we thought we could cycle back to the bike shop in 30mins! (9km ride). It was actually our travel friend who convinced us it was a good idea, as he is an advanced cyclist who had travelled all the way from Canada on his bike... So he was fine for him! 🤣😂). Anyway after peddling for our lives, we finally made it back.. And finished with another glass of Malbec 🍷😊Read more
