Local Questers

Day 2 in Mendoza: The first day of winery tours, we suffer so.... Javier took us to 3 wineries, at the last one we had lunch. Everything we had was delicious. Such a beautiful area to sip and learn more about wine.

Piattelli Vineyards
Bodega Familia Cassone
Lamadrid Estate Wines

Amadeo and Flor were wonderful guides of famous "hole-in-wall" restaurants that only locals eat at, plus 2 markets, and a wine/pisco winery. So much history and culture were shared! If you are in Lima, please consider this tour.... Pro Tip: Do Not try to drive in Lima, leave it to the locals.

Highlights:

• Visit to local markets in Surquillo and Surco
• Tasting of exotic fruits
• Sampling of local dishes like Causa, Ceviche, Juane, and Chaufa de Cecina
• Visit to Ugarelli vineyard
• Wine and Pisco tasting
