Staying at WINE HOTEL in MENDOZA, Argentina

In this video, we'll be sharing our stay at Finca Adalgisa, a boutique wine hotel located about 25 minutes outside of Mendoza! Finca Adalgisa is a fourth-generation property with vines that are over 100 years old. The finca was founded by two Italian families: the Morettis who came from Tuscany and the Furlottis who came from Parma. It was shortly after their arrival in Mendoza that they bought their first vineyard and began to produce wine, and they are still at it today.

One of the unique things about this wine hotel, is that Finca Adalgisa is situated right in the vineyard. As the city has grown and expanded, many of the original vineyards have been lost as people plant further away, however, the Malbec vines on this property are the ones that were planted by the first owner.

During our stay at this wine hotel we got to enjoy wine o'clock and sample their Malbec wine (only 5000 bottles are made per year!) We also got to partake in a wonderful asado with fellow guests from around the world, and try their delicious tapas which use olive oil from the hotel's very own olive grove.

We also took a little excursion to Finca Adalgisa’s sister winery: Bodega Furlotti. This is a working bodega so the tastings were straight from the tanks. We sampled 3 wines at various stages of the winemaking process ranging from young and fruity to mature and full-bodied. It was a fun experience and lucky for us, we’d be enjoying some of Bodega Furlotti’s wines back at the finca for dinner that evening.

We hope this video will give you an idea of what it's like to stay at a boutique wine hotel in Mendoza! For further reading, here's a blog post all about our stay at Finca Adalgisa: http://thatbackpacker.com/2019/05/09/finca-adalgisa-mendoza/
