Mendoza

Mendoza was the part of the trip I was most excited about. I loved the wine region in South Africa and was keen to see another. As it's winter here the colours were so pretty in the vineyards. We visited four different wineries in the Vale de Uco and had tours as well as tastings. Happy times! We had a brilliant guide who was so passionate and enthusiastic. Very cute!

Let the tasting commence!

We got to try wine from the barrel which was interesting! It tasted so different with six months still to go before being bottled.

We were really fortunate to be in a great group of six and laughter abounded....probably assisted by the wine! We were with two Paulistas which didn't help us with trying to forget all of our Portuguese! It's feeling more real that that part is done. It is sad, but having the opportunity to travel in South America is a fantastic buffer for the next step.
