Explore the Uco Valley

Explore the Uco Valley and discover high-altitude vineyards at 3,900 feet, where cooler nights yield Malbecs with 30% more acidity than those from Luján de Cuyo. This region has grown 40% in bottled production since 2020, now hosting 10 award-winning wineries like Bodega Catena Zapata. A guided tasting tour averages $25 per person, and the views of the Andes are unmatched—even outperforming #1 for dramatic mountain backdrops. Concrete proof: Uco’s flagship wines have scored 90+ points in 85% of recent Wine Spectator reviews, faster than the average Argentine region. Pair this with a visit to the Uco Valley Olive Oil Company, where a 3-year-aged oil sells for $18 per bottle.
