Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco

Went for premium wine tasting which also comes with a mini tour. It was very affordable, less than $100 per person. The wines were about $80 to $200 bottle retail. We get 15% discount after the tasting. The mini tour was just ok. It’s a lot of information you’d get on Google or Wikipedia - nothing ground breaking

Spectacular point blank 🍷the bodega is amazing with incredible architecture . Our guides Lautaro and Juan Pablo were great with so much knowledge of the wines and history of the area . The vineyard is so pretty with the backdrop of the Andes mountains and you can take as many video a pictures as you want . Only issue would be getting there and returning to the city as it’s an hour drive give or take , so arrange properly or you will be stuck looking for a ride back . But other than that , perfect , best bodega in Mendoza and best wine tasting ever !

A unique experience for lovers of wine and good architecture. We did the guided tasting. Excellent wines and a full explanation of the area.

We booked the Places & People tasting and had a great time. This winery has won many awards, which is what compelled us to come here, and it is truly evident as to why they are in the world’s best vineyards hall of fame. The details in the architecture, the knowledge of their staff, and their unique process crafts beautiful wine that are unlike anything else. Our tour was a small group of about 8 people, the perfect size to be able to enjoy the tour and not feel overcrowded. Our guide explained each part in both English and Spanish. The property is stunning but the inside is arguably more impressive! Each part of the property is so detailed and sleek. Our favourite part was the room inspired by a grape seed. It was great to learn about the history of the Zuccardi family along with what makes the Uco Valley such an abundant area for wine production. We tasted one white and four red wines with some cheese. Overall, I would recommend this experience!

First the good stuff….the food was excellent and the service was even better. We had a 9 course lunch (which was way too much food) but it was all excellent! Valentino, our waiter, was so attentive and explained everything so well, in English! The views would have been good if it wasn’t raining all day that day! So unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Andes Mountains! On a clear day, I can imagine it would be beautiful as were the grounds! The bad thing was that we made reservations a few months ago and requested the 6 course menu because the 9 was too much! When we got there, they said things change and that day it was the 9 course! In addition it was very expensive! Each luncheon price was based on the wine you were tasting. My speculation was that the lunch was $150 per person then with the wine paring it added to $179, $220+, $300+, $400+ depending on the wine. Because “things had changed”, we decided to go with the least expensive option. We were disappointed because out of 6 wines we only liked one! So we would have had to spend an additional $50 per person to taste at a minimum decent wine. So overall it wasn’t as expected! However the staff, food and would be view was great!

Some pros and cons… The place is amazing! It’s really one of the most beautiful views of the wineries we went. The tour is well detailed in information, we visit some interesting places and understand better the soil, production and all. The problem is the tasting, is very low quality for the price paid. Maybe is because of the fame, but for this price we would like to taste m better wines of the brand.

About a 90 minute drive from Mendoza city lies this beautiful vineyard. The architecture is pretty amazing. I visited the winery for a wine tour, which is available in English and Spanish. The tour last about two hours and there are two wine tasting packages you may choose from. Our guide Juan Luis (I believe this was his name) was fantastic! He answered all our questions and had a sense of humor as well. I highly recommend to book your wine tour reservations in advance (two to four weeks prior, if possible). There is a retail shop that you can purchase the wine you sampled, and even olive oil. The winery also has a restaurant on site. All staff were very friendly and welcoming.

We did the Zuccardi “Places and Vineyards Tasting”. We booked an English language tour. We were told that there would be four people but it seemed like the other two didn’t show up so we were put into a Spanish tour with 10 other people at the last minute. This was disappointing because we couldn’t understand the groups questions and answers. The tour was similar to other Uco Valley tours except we briefly went into the vineyard to look at soil types. At the tasting, we waited again for the other two people but they did not show up. The tasting was supposed to show us differences between wine regions but it started with a sparkling Chardonnay which seemed unrelated to the other wines. The comparison of the Malbecs was interesting but then they had a random Cab Sauvignon. There were cheeses but no explanations were provided on what they were, where they came from or how to pair with the wines. Finally, when we went to buy our favorite wine in the tasting, they said it was a new wine and refused to sell it to us. This tour easily cost twice as much as the other wineries we visited but was no different and in many ways was worse. It seems like the wineries past success has lowered their dedication to excellence and providing their customers with a great experience. Certainly not worth the money and time.
