We are big fans of Mendoza wines.
We went on a wine trip to Santiago and Mendoza this July and had a wonderful trip: awesome food and wine everywhere we went.
The wine tour and grounds at Lagarde were good, our guide took us to the wine cellars, she explained how they make wine, its history, etc. We finished the tour with a visit to the garden and the olive trees.
After that, we had lunch and a tasting experience at the restaurant and that was perfect.
The restaurant is very pretty, lots of big windows and very elegant. Our sommelier was very nice, knowledgeable and the pourings were very generous. We started with empanadas al cuchillo and they were the delicious. After that, we all ordered the steak (When in Argentina, meat is a must) and it was possibly the best steak I have ever eaten. The portion was really big (can be shared) and the meat was very very tender, juicy, perfectly cooked and it tasted amazing. It was a perfect combination of smokiness, flavor, texture and tenderness. The beef in that restaurant is simply perfect.
The wines were also out of control good. My husband upgraded to try the Henry red wine and it came in its own mini decanter. We loved it. The wine was amazing and it paired perfectly with the steak!!!(They should sell the decanters.)
Our overall experience at this winery and restaurant was perfect. Superb food and amazing wines.
I highly recommend this place.
I want to go back!!!
