History
Luján de Cuyo helped establish Mendoza’s reputation for premium Malbec; 19th- and 20th-century irrigation and immigrant vintners reshaped the plains into productive vineyards.
Conservation
Water management is central—many bodegas use drip irrigation and sustainable practices to reduce consumption and preserve soil health in this semi-arid region.

Hydrate between tastings
Drink water between flights—bottled water is supplied but bring a reusable bottle to stay comfortable at altitude.
Sun protection is crucial
High UV at Mendoza’s elevation makes sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and sunglasses must-haves even on cool days.
Pace your palate
Start with lighter whites or sparklings, move to single-vineyard Malbecs, and use bread or water to reset between samples.
