Can never go wrong with Mr Hugo!
Because i´m so restricted for time here (or i chose to be restricted given by the many things to do in BA) i decided to spend just a day in the Mendoza wineries, with 2 nights on a 15hr bus.
That said, it was well worth it. Met up with some Irish guys - Shane, Tom, Colm and Dave - as well as an English guy - Max (who also happened to be my tandem buddy - before heading off to meet Mr. Hugo himself, the unofficial bike hiring place where Mr. Hugo greets you into his home along with unlimited wine.
- Before; Max and I
Shane and Tom
Dave and Colm
We were given a map of the different wineries, 3 tandems between the 6 of us, and a whole day ahead of us to drink and eat. And that we did well.
Max.. shaken up after we had a bit of a fall
Beautiful ride to the wineries
The stop where we ate lunch
Colm and my (delicious) tapas lunch
One of our wine tours
Probably my favourite; gorgeous design, yum tastings
After a few glasses and some spilt wine..
1pm..
Some of the wineries didn´t just offer wine tastings... a chocolate factory in particular offered tours with tastings of olive oils, spreads, and liqueurbig mistake)
75% Absinthe
Ah Shane...
New campaigne
All in all, one of the best things i´ve done so far. For a visit to about 4 wineries, i paid $25, along with the $5 bike ride. Not bad.
