Mendoza WINERY + VINEYARD Tour

In today's video, we continue exploring Mendoza with a winery and vineyard tour at Bodegas Luminis. We learned about this winery completely by chance when we rented an AirBnB apartment and then discovered that our host's son has a bodega and offers tours. Of course, we had to visit! When we arrived, we met the owners Martín Castro and Cristián Allamand, who took us on a tour of their winery, guided us through the vineyards, showed us how the watering system works, explained their winemaking process, and then let us try their wines straight from the tank! We sampled a Saint Jeannet French white grape that had nearly gone extinct, we tried 3 different Malbecs and learned how the same grape can evolve into a different wine depending on where and how it grows, and we also tried a Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc blend that woke up our taste buds! We really enjoyed getting to see how a small winery works and we had even more fun sampling their delightful Mendoza wines!
