Wonderful place. Need an entire day to visit. The most shocking and beautiful part is the view of the Embalse Valle Grande from the top along the road to the canyon. The best view is in the first half of the day.
Nice for river rafting or just sitting around but that’s about it. No hiking trails we could find.
Very beautiful canyon in Mendoza province. It’s cool to drive on a car inside canyon and after that enjoy in the lake where you can rent SUP and kayak!
From San Rafael, the canyon is about 1 hour drive away and can be visited without booking a tour. The best option is to have a car to drive in the canyon. The road is not paved but is passable cautiously. The best is to plan the day there with a picnic like many local people and to stop wherever you want. The canyon offers various incredible spot.
From San Raphael bus terminal take the public bus (250 pesos) to the last stop which requires you only to walk to canon Atel for 30min (mirador). I suggest to take the 7h20 am bus for great photos (see photos as lake acts like a nice mirror). At 12pm lots of people rafting and will create wave ripples (not as nice). route 1: Canon Atel mirador route 2: walk back to last stop and take the other road (bridge) route 3: walk back the same way from the bus route to view other touristic views and activities (the bus to return to san Raphael will be cheaper as you will walk 30min to an hr back). 150aprox see other comments i have for nearby areas.
Amazing. Driving through the mountains
Fantastic views and all for free, you can do all the ride with your own car.
Pre-wedding journey to see great mountain of Aconcagua and Wine houses in Mendoza. A picnic in Canyon. When traveling with a car San Rafael and this Canyon is in between Mendoza and Buenos Aires. A stopover.

We messaged on WhatsApp to schedule an appointment. The tour was enjoyable, and the wine tasting at the end was fantastic, with numerous samples. For $2000, it was an outstanding value, and we also received a full glass of house wine for only $200 while we waited for the tour to begin.
My partner and I did a wine tasting tour here during our visit to San Rafael. Our guide Ana was fantastic - very knowledgeable about the history of the winery and the wine-making process; she also spoke excellent English which was a massive help as we're still learning Spanish!
Great wine tour with Bruno. Interesting information. Nice little degustation. Good prices. Thanks
Bodega La Abeja was fantastic! For only $1000 pesos it was a brilliant tour. Sofie was a lovely tour guide who gave us a private tour in English. We loved trying their wines in the private tasting room as well! A brilliant bodega with a fantastic history and some very tasty wines... We'd 100% recommend!
Great experience! The tour was really interesting and the wines are great! We wanted to particularly thank our guide Sofi who was so kind and funny, and made the tour even better! Her English was amazing!
The guided tour is great and the place is an important part of the history of San Rafael
Very decent place to visit. Guided tour plus tasting comes free of charge. Plus you will see some action of how the grapes are removed from stems and how to cork a bottle. If you are heading towards Chile after Argentina then do your visitations in here.
Awesome Winery with awesome people! Our guide (really good english speaking) Juan Pablo told us very interesting information about all! Highly recommended!

Amazingly rough beauty
(Translated by Google) Valle Grande is one of the most beautiful destinations in San Rafael and a perfect place to enjoy nature and the water. The landscape is breathtaking, surrounded by mountains and with the reservoir as its centerpiece. There's limited parking, especially on weekends, so it's best to arrive early. From the pier, you can cross by catamaran to the small beaches on the other side, where you can enjoy various activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply relaxing in the sun. It's important to note that there are no restrooms on these beaches, so it's a good idea to bring water, food, and everything you need to spend the day comfortably. (Original) Valle Grande es uno de los destinos más lindos de San Rafael y un lugar perfecto para disfrutar de la naturaleza y el agua. El paisaje es impresionante, rodeado de montañas y con el embalse como protagonista. No hay mucho espacio para estacionar, especialmente los fines de semana, así que conviene ir temprano. Desde el embarcadero se puede cruzar en catamarán hasta las playitas del otro lado, donde se pueden hacer distintas actividades como kayak, paddle, pesca o simplemente relajarse al sol. Es importante tener en cuenta que en esas playitas no hay servicios, por lo que conviene llevar agua, comida y todo lo necesario para pasar el día cómodamente.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, quiet, with friendly and respectful people. Affordable prices. I recommend it. I'll be back ❤️ I loved it. (Taxi or bus with Sube, a great gas option) (Original) Hermoso, tranquilo, gente amable y respetuosa. Precios accesibles. Lo recomiendo. Yo voy a volver ❤️ me encantó. (Taxi o colectivo con sube muy buena opción gasolera)
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to enjoy with the family. And connect with the splendor of the mountains and the beautiful water. The people of San Rafael were very attentive and friendly. The taxi that took us from the terminal to Valle Grande was a genius. He gave us tourist advice on all the beauty of San Rafael. The catamaran trips were a unique experience. Thanks to the people at Extremo. (Original) Un hermoso lugar para disfrutar con la familia. Y conectar con el esplendor de la montaña y el bello espejo de agua. Muy atenta y amable la gente de San Rafael. El remis que nos llevo de terminal hasta Valle grande un genio. Nos asesoro turísticamente de todo lo bonito que tiene San Rafael. Los viajes en catamarán una experiencia única. Gracias a la gente de Extremo

Loved the tour! The bodega is beautiful and the wine was fantastic. Karen did a great job explaining the whole process of wine making
In Mendoza region to find a new vinyard for a project of 150 hectoliters. Sponanteously came by Bianchi. We arrived and a huge group was just waiting to start a tour. We asked to join the tour and walk along, paid of course, to get to know the vinyard. The staff wouldnt allow it. They just told us to make an appointment, for a time when we will already travel back. Guess they dont need new customers here. Disappointing.
Nice installations. Good wines. Good welcome.
Great experience with the winemakers.
(Translated by Google) I didn't believe many of the reviews before going, and there's a noticeable price difference compared to other, perhaps less well-known, local wineries we visited earlier to compare. But yes, the price is for an expensive tasting. Especially considering the allotted time doesn't allow for leisure or relaxation. The wines we sampled weren't the best, while others, for half the price, offer top-notch wines. It wasn't a great experience, but perhaps it's worth mentioning that it could be better. The "I'll tell you about it, and then you can come back and take photos if you want" format isn't what you expect when you're out and about. Undoubtedly, their business is about quantity, not quality, thanks to their large infrastructure and exposure. It left me wanting more... (Original) No creí en muchos comentarios antes de ir, y hay notable diferencia de precios con otras bodegas locales quizás de no tanto renombre que justo visitamos antes para poder comparar. Pero si, el precio por pagar es para una degustación cara. Teniendo en cuenta que el tiempo programado no da lugar al esparciento y el relaje. Las líneas por probar no son de las mejores, mientras en otras por mitad de precio si dan lo mejor de si. No fue una buena experiencia, pero quizás sea necesario decir que podría ser mejor. La modalidad les cuento y después ustedes si quieren vuelven a tomar fotos no es lo que uno espera cuando anda de paseo. Indudablemente, el negocio es la cantidad y no la calidad, gracias a la gran infraestructura y exposición que tienen. Con gusto a poco...
(Translated by Google) A very large winery, beautiful scenery, but the guided tour leaves much to be desired. It feels like a race with a memorized script. There's no effort to even speak a little slower to help foreigners who don't speak Spanish. My parents, over 70 years old, had to rush to catch up with the timed route and weren't even waited for to begin the explanation. It's not worth the investment. If those responsible for the company take the time to read these reviews, please consider my observation. You have a beautiful place, you can do an amazing job. (Original) Uma vinícola muito grande, visual bonito, mas deixa muito a desejar na visita guiada. Parece uma corrida com roteiro decorado. Não há esforço nem em falar um pouco mais devagar para auxiliar os estrangeiros que não falam espanhol. Meus pais, acima de 70 anos, precisavam correr atrás da rota cronometrada e nem sequer eram aguardados para iniciar a explicação. Não vale o investimento. Caso os responsáveis pela empresa se dediquem a ler estas avaliações, considerem minha observação. Vocês tem um lugar lindo, podem fazer um trabalho incrível.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful tour, the guided visit was excellent, we saw the machines and they explained the process very well. Ivana, our guide, was especially kind! (Original) Hermoso recorrido, la visita guiada estuvo buenísima, vimos las maquinas y nos explicaron muy bien el proceso. Destacó la amabilidad de Ivana nuestra guía!!

Very well maintained and it’s a great place for kids, friends or even a date. It’s a place to go and relax. A picnic is ideal to have here.
The maze was a fun and challenging activity, but not so complicated that it became frustrating. The paths were well-manicured and easy to follow, making it a great way to spend an afternoon. It was $4400 a person to enter.
Really good and well maintained. Park is beautiful, restaurant is good, and the labyrinth is also well maintained and big. There is also a mini museum and a film worth watching for Borges enthusiasts.
An excelent place to visit and spend your time with your family
Enjoy the park at the evening when the sun is setting. You have a nice view on top of the tower and entering the labrynth makes you live the words of Borges. It was great!
Nice place to go and spend at least a couple hours. Places to do pic-nics, you can also have local food and wine right there. The maze is really good and fun for kids, while there's also a playground. On the downside, toilets were less than impressive and the video about the history of the place was way too long (1 hr).
The place is good to spend few hours of self walk with family/friends. The restaurant kitchen/bar staff are rude and denied to give us tap water although the waitress tried to, the food is too expensive comparing with the quality. I recomend the place but not the restaurant.
Nice place! You should go for a couple of hours. You dont Need More. There Is a restaurant if yo want to have lunch, although you can take yours and eat there..

Extremely boring and small.
(Translated by Google) Small, but full of valuable information. It's very interesting to learn how, who, and when the station was created, and everything surrounding it. As I mentioned to the woman who served as our guide (I apologize we didn't get her name), a Frenchman with a lot of money came to buy desolate land in our country and ended up building a great city like San Rafael. He was truly a visionary. Admission is a symbolic $1,000 per person (July 30, 2025). Thank you for the warmth, treatment, and respect to all the people who served us during this week of rest in this beautiful city. (Original) Chiquito, pero lleno de información muy valiosa. Muy interesante saber como, quien y cuando se creó la estación y todo lo que lo rodea. Como se lo comente a la señora que hizo las veces de guía (mil disculpas que no le preguntamos el nombre) un francés, con mucha plata, venir a comprar tierras desoladas en nuestro pais y terminar erigiendo una gran ciudad como San Rafael, completamente un visionario. La entrada tiene un valor simbólico de $1000 por persona (30/07/25) Gracias por la calidez, el trato y el respeto a toda la gente que nos atendió en esta semana de descanso en esta hermosa ciudad.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. The guide was excellent. She explained everything in detail, and she tailored the information to my children's understanding. I recommend it. (Original) Hermoso lugar. La guía excelente, nos explico todo detalladamente, a mis hijos les adecuaba la información para que entendieran. Lo recomiendo.
(Translated by Google) Don't miss the guide Verónica, who passionately tells you the history of the train and a little bit about the city. I highly recommend it. Admission is $1,000 per person. (Original) No sé pueden perder la guía Verónica quien con mucha pasión te cuenta la historia del tren y un poco de la ciudad.. lo recomiendo. Valor entrada $1.000 por persona
(Translated by Google) It is a popular place of interest for lovers of ferrous materials and history, where they truly preserve jewels of antiquity. I would especially like to highlight the attention of the coordinator and guide Romina, who tirelessly assists, explains, and teaches with authentic professionalism and love for her work on the subject.

I LOVE THIS WINERY. The attention to detail in instructing the tourist is amazing. This definitely has the feel.of an old family winery. Alejandro Roca was a great teacher and oenologist. Highly recommend!
(Translated by Google) We went on a guided tour of the winery. We didn't like it and the service seemed very bad. They gave us two varieties to taste, a red wine and a white wine, and then the guide literally disappeared. I don't explain. No greeting, nothing. An employee who passed the counter saw that we were looking at the menu and just then asked us if we wanted to buy a bottle. I honestly don't recommend it. (Original) Fuimos a hacer visita guiada por la bodega. No nos gustó y pareció muy mala la atención.

(Translated by Google) An excellent experience. We had a very entertaining guided tour, where we even had the pleasure of meeting Don Alfredo. We then booked the asado (a platter of cold cuts, chorizo ​​and chinchilla sausage, meat, asado, and flan), and it was undoubtedly one of the best winery experiences we've had. The staff was outstanding. Highly recommended!!! (Original) Excelente experiencia, hicimos una visita guiada muy entretenida, donde incluso tuvimos el gusto de conocer a Don Alfredo. Luego habíamos contratado por el asado (tabla de fiambres, morcilla chori y chinchilla, carne, asado y flan) y sin duda es de las mejores experiencias en bodega que hicimos. Destacable la amabilidad del personal. Para recomendar !!!
(Translated by Google) Excellent winery. We had the honor of meeting Don Alfredo and learning a little more about his history. The tour was very comprehensive, led by María Elena, and the tasting was conducted by José. A very family-friendly atmosphere where friendliness and professionalism are paramount. A place not to be missed. (Original) Excelente bodega. Tuvimos el honor de conocer a Don Alfredo y conocer un poco más sobre su historia. La visita muy completa por María Elena y la degustación realizada por José. Un ambiente muy familiar en donde la amabilidad y el profesionalismo destacan. Un lugar para no dejar de visitar
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. We were delighted with both the visit to the winery with Florencia, as well as with Jose and Mr. Alfredo, who was there and stopped by to say hello. If you're in San Rafael, don't miss this winery. (Original) Super recomendable, quedamos encantados tanto con la visita a la bodega con Florencia, como asi tambien con Jose y con el Sr. Alfredo que alli estaba y se acerco a saludar. Si estan por San Rafael no pueden dejar de visitar esta bodega.
(Translated by Google) The Roca winery offers an excellent experience. We took a tour of the facilities and estate, which boasts a significant number of vines. Afterward, we enjoyed wine and empanadas in the specially prepared lounge. We tasted two wines: a refreshing, chilled Chenille white and a red reserve. The service was excellent, and the guide was very professional; she enriched us with her stories. (Original) Excelente propuesta las que ofrecen en bodega Roca, hicimos un recorrido por las instalaciones y finca donde hay una cantidad importante de parras. Luego pudimos disfrutar de vino+ empanadas en el salón preparado para eso. Degustamos dos vinos: uno blanco chenille frío, refrescante y otro de reserva tinto. Muy buena atención y la guía muy profesional, nos enriqueció con sus relatos.

(Translated by Google) You can go by car, pay an entrance fee of $9,500, and take a guided tour. Payments are made in cash or by bank transfer. The tour takes approximately 2 hours. You enter caves used by the Guarpe Indians. Highly recommended, not suitable for people with claustrophobia, very young children, or people with limited mobility. There is no restroom or restroom. Highly recommended. (Original) Se puede ir en auto, se paga entrada de $9500 y se hace recorrido con guía. Se paga en efectivo y transferencia. Recorrido de 2 horas aprox. Se entra a unas cuevas que usaban los indios Guarpes. Muy recomendable no apto para personas con claustrofobia, niños muy pequeños y gente con poca movilidad. No tienen parador y baños. Muy recomendable.
(Translated by Google) We found this place by chance and it surprised us. The tour begins with an explanation of the flora of the place, which becomes a bit boring, but then the fun begins. When you reach the rocks in the mountains you can see cave paintings and then they put a helmet with a light on you to enter the caves. The route inside the caves is not long but it is a bit difficult, meaning it is not recommended for people with claustrophobia or mobility problems. On our visit there was a family with a 3-year-old girl who took the tour without any problem, but not all children like the dark so I recommend evaluating before attending. There are no bathrooms in the park. They charge entry at the place. (Original) Encontramos este lugar de casualidad y nos sorprendió. El recorrido comienza por una explicación de la flora del lugar que se torna un tanto aburrida pero luego comienza la diversión. Al llegar a las rocas de las montañas se puede ver pinturas rupestres y luego te colocan un casco con luz para entrar a las cuevas. El recorrido en el interior de las cuevas no es largo pero tiene un poco de dificultad es decir que no es recomendable para personas con claustrofobia o problemas de movilidad. En nuestra visita había una familia con una niña de 3 años que hizo el recorrido sin problema pero no a todos los niños le gusta la oscuridad entonces recomiendo evaluar antes de asistir. No hay baños en el parque. Cobran entrada en el lugar.
(Translated by Google) The visit offers a super complete description of the way of life and skills of the native peoples who inhabited the area. You can see huts and native vegetation. The visit includes a tour of a very narrow cave not suitable for claustrophobics and small children. The guide Sol was very attentive to the entire group and very willing to answer questions. I recommend wearing comfortable clothes that can get dirty since part of the route requires crouching almost at ground level. The cost of the activity is reasonable and accessible. The only negative is that the place does not have bathrooms for visitors due to vandalism. (Original) La visita ofrece una descripción súper completa del modo de vida y habilidades de los pueblos originarios que habitaban el área. Se pueden observar chozas y vegetación autóctona. La visita incluye un recorrido por una cueva muy estrecha no apta para claustrofóbicos y niños pequeños. La guía Sol estuvo muy atenta a todo el grupo y súper dispuesta a contestar preguntas. Recomiendo ir con ropa cómoda que pueda ensuciarse dado que parte del recorrido requiere ir agachado casi al ras del suelo. El costo de la actividad es razonable y accesible. Lo único negativo es que el lugar no cuenta con baños para los visitantes debido al vandalismo.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. Guided tour where we learned about the flora and fauna of the place, and the history of the natives of the region before the arrival of the Spanish. Their customs, refuges. We visited the cave, always guided and with the help of April who was excellent in her explanation and helping at all times! (Original) Hermosa experiencia. Visita guiada donde conocimos la flora y fauna del lugar, y la historia de los nativos de la región antes de la llegada de los españoles. Sus costumbres, refugios. Visitamos la cueva, siempre guiados y con ayuda de Abril que fue excelente en su explicación y ayudando en todo momento!
(Translated by Google) Please, if you read this and go to San Rafael, GO and take this excursion that lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour and a half. It really is beautiful. From the story they tell you to learn everything they experienced thousands of years ago, to the passage through the cave and out through the mountain. The guide was genius! I don't remember the name but his knee was bad and he wanted to wait to have surgery haha Do yourself a favor and go! (Original) Por favor si lees ésto y vas a San Rafael, ANDA a hacer esta excursión que dura entre 1 hora y 1 hora y media. Realmente es hermoso. Desde la historia que te cuentan para aprender todo lo que vivieron hace miles de años atrás, hasta el pasaje por la cueva y salir por la montaña. La guía fue una genia! No recuerdo el nombre pero tenía mal la rodilla y quería esperar para operarse jaja Háganse un favor y vayan!
(Translated by Google) An excellent excursion. We discovered it by chance because it's not widely publicized. We loved the place, and Eli was brilliant at explaining it. Highly recommended for learning about the natives who inhabited the area! (Original) Excelente excursión para hacer. La descubrimos de casualidad xq no tiene mucha difusión. Nos encantó el lugar y Eli explicando es una genia. Super recomendable para conocer sobre los nativos que habitaron la zona!
(Translated by Google) The experience of touring the Park with the guides is interesting. We went with the idea that the kids would do something different and learn a little about history and the truth is that it surprised us all, since entering the caves is very fun. Be careful, it is not so easy to be in the caves because you have to bend down a lot and get dirty to get through the 3 sections there are. (Original) Es interesante la experiencia de recorrer el Parque con los guías. Fuimos con la idea que los chicos hagan algo distinto y conozcan un poco de historia y la verdad que nos sorprendió a todos, ya que el ingreso a las cavernas se hace muy divertido. Ojo que no es tan sencillo estar en las cuevas porque tenés que agacharte bastante y ensuciarte para pasar en los 3 tramos que hay.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, very interesting tour, super informative, everything very well preserved. They show you the native flora, invite you to smell each plant, and teach you what life was like for the Huarpes. BE CAREFUL about the cave! For some, it can be quite difficult. If you have limited mobility (or weak legs) or claustrophobia, I recommend not entering. If you dare, it's short but quite beautiful! Another thing to keep in mind is that there are no bathrooms. We took a restroom in some plants, hehe🤪 but just to be warned! I recommend bringing water bottles (they don't sell them there, and you'll need them). The tour itself is a walk until you have to climb a bit at one point. Highly recommended👍 I loved the history💖 (Original) Hermoso, muy interesante el recorrido, super informativo, muy conservado todo. Te muestran la flora nativa, te invitan a oler cada planta, te enseñan como era la vida de los Huarpes. OJO la caverna, para algunos puede llegar a ser bastante difícil, si tenés movilidad reducida (o no tenes fuerza en las piernas) o claustrofobia recomiendo no entrar. Si te animas, es corta pero bastante linda! Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que no hay baños, nosotros hicimos en unas plantitas jeje🤪 pero para avisar! Recomiendo llevar botellas de agua (ahí no venden y la van a necesitar) El recorrido en si es caminando hasta que en un punto hay que escalar un poco. Super recomendado👍 me encantó la historia💖

(Translated by Google) A winery with an excellent location and easy access in San Rafael. There are different options: guided tour with tasting, visit + picnic, lunch at the restaurant. We did the guided tour with tasting with our 6 and 4 year old children. Nico was super super entertaining with his explanations, it was very clear and, above all, realistic. I explain the steps of the process, I teach how to read the labels and then know what to choose as a consumer. And at the time of the tasting he taught us how to taste the different wines. Super recommended! (Original) Una bodega con excelente ubicación y facil acceso en San Rafael. Hay distintas opciones: visita guiada con degustacion, visita + picnic, almuerzo en el restaurante. Hicimos la visita guiada con degustacion con nuestros hijos de 6 y 4 años. Nico super super ameno con sus explicaciones, nos resultó muy claro y sobretodo realista. Explico los pasos del proceso, enseño como saber leer las etiquetas para luego saber que elegir como consumidor. Y al momento de la degustacion nos enseño a catar los distintos vinos. Super recomendable!
(Translated by Google) We went to the restaurant, and it was truly delicious, with a variety of dishes and affordable prices. The wine was also delicious. The service was excellent! I recommend the veal tenderloin with Malbec. (Original) Fuimos al resto y la verdad delicioso, variedad de comidas y precios accesibles. El vino muy rico también. La atención excelente! Recomiendo el lomo de ternera al malbec.
(Translated by Google) I give it the highest rating because it was an excellent experience. Both the guide Nicolás and the girls at the restaurant were very friendly and made my Saturday a memorable day. The winery has a very interesting history and the wines are very delicious, I particularly liked the sparkling wine. You can see that it is a place that takes care of tourists, they are in all the details. I recommend them when you visit the city of San Rafael. (Original) Le pongo la más alta calificación porque fue una experiencia excelente. Tanto el guía Nicolás como las chicas del restaurante fueron muy amables e hicieron de mi sábado un día memorable. La bodega tiene una historia muy interesante y los vinos son muy ricos, en particular me gustó el espumante. Se nota que es un lugar que cuida al turista, están en todos los detalles. Se los recomiendo en su paso por la ciudad de San Rafael.
(Translated by Google) Excellent visit. The wine was delicious. The tour was very interesting, and they explained everything very well. The tasting was very nice. They had a small space set up for us, so we weren't rushed and it was very well presented. The people were very friendly. (Original) Excelente visita. El vino estuvo delicioso. La visita es muy interesante, explican muy bien. La degustación fue muy linda. Tenían un lugarcito arreglado para nosotros, sin apuros, muy bien presentado. Las personas fueron muy cordiales.
(Translated by Google) Nico's guide and explanations were very nice, and everything was clean. But the three-course lunch isn't worth it. For the same price, we had lunch at another spectacular, modern winery with wine pairings for all seven courses. It also seemed dated and outdated. I don't recommend it. (Original) La guía y explicación de Nico estuvo muy linda y todo limpio. Pero el almuerzo de 3 pasos no lo vale, por el mismo precio almorzamos en otra bodega espectacular, moderna y con maridaje en los 7 pasos. Además me pareció vieja y quedada en el tiempo. No la recomiendo
(Translated by Google) The place is very close to the San Rafael airport, almost across the street. I was really looking forward to going, based on the photos and dishes shown in the description. We arrived and chose a table outside on a beautiful, pleasant day. They brought us a delicious complimentary drink, and it was a lovely moment. We ordered sorrentinos with pink sauce, which were exquisite with a sweet sauce just the way I like it, and they tasted very, very good. The other dish was sirloin steak with blue cheese and rustic potatoes. It was cooked perfectly, and also delicious. But... dessert was a huge disappointment. We ordered "Brownie with ice cream and red berries." The brownie was from a box and was a simple chocolate sponge cake. The brownie has nuts, and the texture is completely different, completely different. It was obvious that it wasn't chicha or lemonade. The friendly waitress, by the way, tried to tell me it was a Marquise, but it was far from it! I thought that since this was a place that tried to specialize in pastry, this had to be the best... Well, no. Damn, why did I have such high expectations? I'm very demanding, but if I'm going to pay $3,800 pesos for a dessert, I want it to be a brownie. Everything else was great! (Original) El lugar queda muy cercano al aeropuerto de San Rafael , casi enfrente. Tenía muchas expectativas de ir, debido a las fotos y platos que mostraban aquí en descripción. Llegamos y elegimos una mesa afuera con un hermoso y agradable día. Nos trajeron una copa de cortesía muy rica y lindo momento. Pedimos sorrentinos con salsa rosa que estaban exquisitos con una salsita dulzona como me gusta a mi y de sabor muy muy bueno. El otro plato fue bife de chorizo con queso azul y papas rústicas, riquísimo muy en punto la cocción, también sabroso. Pero.... El postre gran decepción, pedimos "Brownie con helado y frutos rojos" el brownie era de caja y era un simple biscochuelo de chocolate, el brownie lleva nueces y la textura es otra, nada que ver se notaba demasiado que no era ni chicha ni limonada, la moza amable por cierto intento decirme que era una Marquise, lejos estaba de serlo! Yo pensé que como se trataba de un Lugar en donde intenta especializarse como pastelería pues esto tenía que ser la bomba.... Pues, no. Me pinche por qué tenía mucha expectativa, tengo demasiada exigencia pero si voy a pagar un postre de $3800 pesos quiero que sea brownie. Todo lo demás muy bien!.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful winery, we start the tour early at 10 in the very cold, the tour has a cost and then you have a tasting with wines of your choice. Accompanied with some very delicious cheeses. It is worth it as they tell the history of the winery and the processes that involve the wines and sparkling wines. Recommended visit! Thank you so much. (Original) Hermosa bodega, arrancamos el recorrido temprano a las 10 con mucho frío, el recorrido tiene costo y luego tenes una cata con vinos de tu elección. Acompañado con unos quesitos muy ricos. Vale la pena como cuentan la historia de la bodega y los procesos que involucran a los vinos y espumantes. Visita recomendada! Muchas gracias.
(Translated by Google) Very good visit to the winery. Nico, the excellent winemaker. Very well predisposed and open to listening to different questions. We did the visit along with the three-course lunch. Excellent attention from Sintia. The food is also very delicious. Super recommended. (Original) Muy buena la visita a la bodega. Nico, el enólogo excelente. Muy bien predispuesto y abierto a escuchar las distintas preguntas. Hicimos la visita junto al almuerzo de tres pasos. Excelente atención de Sintia. La comida muy rica también. Súper recomendable.
