Step-by-step itinerary

Wine tasting and gourmet lunch in Maipú

• Visit Trapiche Winery and explore vineyards
• Learn about winery museum and philosophy
• Taste unique Trapiche wines
• Tour Zuelo olive oil factory
• Enjoy 3-course lunch at Pan & Oliva

The experience

The day starts with a pickup from your hotel and a drive into Maipú's vineyard country. Trapiche Winery, a Renaissance-style building from 1912, sits at the center of the region's wine history: the guide walks you through the vineyards and the museum, then you taste wines that represent what the winery calls "the richness of diversity" across Argentina's terroirs. The tasting is not a quick pour. It is built around learning what makes each wine distinct.

After Trapiche, you move to the Zuelo olive oil mill, where the Zuccardi family produces extra virgin oil from their own 260 hectares of farms. The tour shows how they select olives and handle the harvest, and the oils you see there will show up in the lunch that follows. You then sit down at Pan & Oliva, the restaurant inside Bodega Zuccardi, for a 3-course menu designed specifically for this tour and paired with Santa Julia wines. The menu draws from the restaurant's own organic garden and the olive oils you just learned about: tapas, pasta, seasonal dishes, all built around what the region produces.

The group stays under 18 people, and a bilingual guide (English and Spanish) stays with you the whole day. Transport is included, so you move between the three stops without arranging a car. The tour runs 7 to 8 hours, and the itinerary can shift up to 48 hours before you go: the operator confirms the final schedule in advance.
