In the 70’s, traditional Bodega del 900, a restaurant owned by Familia Tittarelli representing a 4 million Dollar investment, attracted visitors and locals. Its early 20th century ornamentation, underground cellars, buffet-style dinner and live entertainment explained that. In recent years, we have witnessed the opening of tens of wine-oriented, high-end theme restaurants.

In La Consulta, Tunuyan there is a top 400-hectare winery owned by Spanish wine-maker José Manuel Ortega Gil-Fournier. This winery combines wine-making with architectural beauty, which is particularly evident in their 14 m deep, 4000 m2 cellar. Their restaurant, where visitors can enjoy terrific views of the Andes, has retrieved dishes that had not been prepared for a long time neither in Spain nor in Argentina such as salmorejo, humita, pumpking soup, and French toast. Meals are accompanied by awarded wines such as Acrux, which is among the 86 best wines in the world according to prestigious American magazine Wine Spectator.

In the exceptional wine-making region of Maipu, Casa del Vistante, at Bodega Zuccardi offers very peculiar lunch meals in the finca (no previous booking required!) Lunch includes three varieties of olive oil made at the winery: manzanilla, frantoio and arauco. Visitors can also tour around the vineyards, the cellar and they may also taste a few varieties directly from the barrel.

When it comes to great restaurants, there is one in this tour visitors should not miss. La Bourgogne, at Bodega Vistalba overlooks 53 hectares of neat malbec vineyards and has a menu featuring French cuisine and local-style dishes, a fusion that caused it to be declared the world’s best restaurant-winery in the Best of The Great Wine Capitals contest.
