Finca Adalgisa, Chacras De Coria, Mendoza

Walk through the vineyard and you can almost hear the ancient Malbec vines whispering about their 80 years of producing fruits for the creation of fine wines. Inhale the soft air though, and you may well be drawn out of the vineyard towards the hotel’s kitchen, where Cristina is demonstrating how to transform fresh, local ingredients into edible magic.

Finca Adalgisa is that sort of place. The sort of place where – on a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Argentina – you can take a wine tour without leaving the bodega, gain an understanding of the intricacies of viticulture and turning grape into wine, indulge in the best local food, explore the surrounding countryside on horseback or by bicycle – or simply swim and laze by a magnificent pool. Whatever suits your taste.
