History
Mendoza’s modern wine industry expanded in the late 19th century with European immigrants; irrigation projects from Andean meltwater allowed large‑scale viticulture to flourish.
Conservation
Many wineries practice water‑wise irrigation and organic or integrated pest management; ask hosts about cork recycling and bottle reuse programs to reduce impact.

Sun Protection Matters
High altitude increases UV — bring sunscreen, a wide‑brim hat, and sunglasses for outdoor tastings and vineyard walks.
Pace Your Wine Intake
Have small pours and ask for spit buckets if you plan to drive afterward; plan on using the included transportation rather than driving.
Comfortable Footwear
Wineries often have gravel or uneven paths; low‑profile walking shoes make cellar tours and vineyard strolls easier.
