We're going to Mendoza for my birthday, to a charming Finca in the vineyards. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ‡ It's a beautiful birthday gift that I received from my sweetheart ๐Ÿ˜

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" ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿท

On the first evening, the owner of the Finca, Salvador, prepared an "Asado" (Argentinian grill fest) ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿฅฉ 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 ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ˜ La pura vida ๐Ÿ˜˜

On the second day, we had a delicious breakfast in the beautiful garden ๐Ÿ˜ Then we went on a tour of the "Septima" winery, followed by a gourmet lunch ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿด๐Ÿท๐Ÿ˜Ž The food was a perfect match for their wines and beautifully presented. ๐Ÿด๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ƒ

On the next day, we visited two smaller wineries by bike. ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜…

One of them (Budeguer) was a boutique winery with its own lake. There, the white wine was even our favorite ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿค—

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. ๐Ÿ‡ It was very interesting, and then we rode back on our rented bicycles ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜…

So the Malbec in Mendoza was a great experience for us ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ˜

On our last morning, we enjoyed the beautiful view in the garden, sipped some wine, and relaxed... ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜

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 ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜”
