Introduction
Set your heart on an invigorating 3-day adventure in Maipú, Chile. Known for its sensational vineyards, scrumptious gourmet tastes, and outstanding oliviculture, our journey takes us through the beating heart of Chile's Wine Country. We'll use the bike to roam around the rustic vineyards, devour exquisite Chilean cuisine, and immerse ourselves in the warm hospitality of local wineries.
Day 1 - Your Adventure Begins!
Morning rides to Maipú's vineyards set the pace for our journey's start. Explore the traditional wine-making process at wineries like Rutini and Trapiche. Afraid of going tipsy too early? Grab a bite at their on-site restaurants. Luxuriate in the sun while basking in the rich flavors of Rutini’s Malbecs and Trapiche’s Cabernet Sauvignons. The day vibes up with a visit to ‘La Olivícola Simone,’ an olive oil boutique that'll expand your palate with its rich extra-virgin delights. A sampling session, highlighting the oliviculture heritage of Maipu is sure to usher you into the night on a rich, flavorful note.
Day 2 - Bikes, Wine, and a Dash of History
Start your day with a self-guided bike tour of Carrodilla and Lunlunta – two prominent wine districts. Feel the rush as you breeze through vine-laden paths, saying hello to Argentinean Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon along the way. Pause at the quaint 'Winery Museum,’ unveiling Maipu's wine-making history, before treating yourself at the gourmet restaurant 'Casa de Campo.' A bike ride around dusk to the charming Familia di Tommaso winery for wine tasting under stars will cap off an unforgettable day.
Day 3 - A Delicious Conclusion to Our Journey
Did you ever imagine making your wine bottle? On the final day, at the Vina El Cerno Winery, participate in a wine blending session, where you'll learn to combine different varietals into your blend. Savour your self-made wine during a classic Argentine Asado for a taste of local gastronomy. A trip to 'Regional Mendoza', an open-air market, is the last stop. We'll scout for souvenirs, authentic Argentine wines, olive oil, and other regional products. Our journey concludes as we salute the sparkling Southern Cross that dominates the night skies of Argentina, with a glass of wine, of course!
