Uco Valley

It is a large region made up of three departments in the southwest of Mendoza: Tupungato, Tunuyán and San Carlos. It is located along the Tunuyán River. It combines natural beauty, adventure and quality wine tasting. Located in the heart of the Mendoza region, the Uco Valley is known for its breathtaking landscapes of mountains such as the Cordon del Plata, Aconcagua, vineyards and rivers. It is home to some of the most important wineries in Argentina. One of the ways to get to know the wine history of the region is through a guided tasting at one of the local wineries, such as Bodega Salentein or Bodega Atamisque.
