Our
Mendoza

Travel recommendations from two locals with a global perspective. We love beautiful hotels, memorable food, great wine, and the kind of landscapes that make you stop talking for a minute.

Made in Mendoza by Sofía & Lucila Pescarmona—local mendocinas sharing the places we genuinely recommend to friends.

Plan by place

Three
regions

Mendoza is best understood in chapters. Divide your time between the city, nearby Luján de Cuyo, and the wider landscapes of Valle de Uco.

01 · Urban rhythm

Mendoza City

Use the city for late dinners, bars, leafy plazas, coffee, and a polished base between wine-country days.

Best for · 1–2 nights
02 · Close to town

Luján de Cuyo

Historic wineries, Chacras de Coria, long lunches, and vineyard stays—all within easy reach of the city.

Best for · 2–3 days
03 · The big landscape

Valle de Uco

High-altitude vineyards, contemporary architecture, and the Andes at full scale. It deserves its own unhurried stay.

Best for · 1–2 nights

A note on distance

Valle de Uco is a whole day—not a quick detour.

Plan your trip in two parts: spend your first days between Mendoza City and Luján de Cuyo, then set aside one or two nights in Valle de Uco. The drive is part of the experience, but staying overnight lets you enjoy the valley without watching the clock.

Our point of view

Come for the wine. Stay for the light, the mountains, the long lunches—and the feeling that Mendoza has let you in on a secret.

01 · Rest well

Stay

From vineyard hideaways beneath the Andes to a polished city base, these are the addresses worth building a trip around.

Our must-do

If you can spare a night, stay at Rancho ’e Cuero for a real Argentine estancia experience: horses, open country, home-cooked food, and the warmth of a local family.

The Mendoza ritual

Lunch is not a break in the day. It is the day.

Leave room in your itinerary. Winery lunches here unfold slowly—course by course, glass by glass—with the mountains always somewhere in the frame.

Eat

Destination dining in the vines, a few can’t-miss kitchens, and one coffee stop for an unhurried morning.

03 · After hours

Drink

Mountain tables for golden hour, and a neighborhood bar for when you are not quite ready to call it a night.

Las Palapas

For Mendoza at its most atmospheric: international DJs, cocktails, dancing, and sunset over the Potrerillos reservoir, surrounded by the Andes. Check the calendar before your trip—its events are seasonal and worth planning around.

For adventurers—and anyone with ants in their pants—Mendoza is much more than a seat at the table.
