Insider Tips

  • Book wineries in advance — most require reservations, especially the famous ones (Catena Zapata, Achaval-Ferrer)
  • Stay in Chacras de Coria or Maipú for vineyard immersion; downtown for food and walkability
  • Bike tours of Maipú vineyards are the cheap, social option (~$20/day rental + tastings)
  • Day-trip to Aconcagua provincial park for views; you don't need to climb the mountain to enjoy it
