We're going to Mendoza for my birthday, to a charming Finca in the vineyards. ๐ก๐ It's a beautiful birthday gift that I received from my sweetheart ๐
Here in Mendoza, it's very hot and dry, so we've decided to follow the motto: "save the wa(l)ter, drink more wine" ๐๐ท
On the first evening, the owner of the Finca, Salvador, prepared an "Asado" (Argentinian grill fest) ๐๐ฅฉ We had a fun evening with 6 other guests, enjoying some of the best steaks we've ever had, accompanied by one, two, three glasses of fine Malbec wine from Huswy ๐ท๐ La pura vida ๐
On the second day, we had a delicious breakfast in the beautiful garden ๐ Then we went on a tour of the "Septima" winery, followed by a gourmet lunch ๐๐ด๐ท๐ The food was a perfect match for their wines and beautifully presented. ๐ด๐ท๐๐ป๐
On the next day, we visited two smaller wineries by bike. ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ด๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐
One of them (Budeguer) was a boutique winery with its own lake. There, the white wine was even our favorite ๐๐ป๐ค
The other one (Dolium) was smaller, and the owner explained more to us about his winemaking process and his efforts to be as eco-friendly as possible. ๐ It was very interesting, and then we rode back on our rented bicycles ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐ด๐ปโโ๏ธ๐จ๐๐
So the Malbec in Mendoza was a great experience for us ๐ท๐
On our last morning, we enjoyed the beautiful view in the garden, sipped some wine, and relaxed... ๐๐๐
After three wonderful days, we sadly had to say goodbye to the Finca and head to the city to catch an overnight bus to Santiago ๐๐๐
