Experiences and local guides in Maipú
Mendoza's most accessible wine area: family-run bodegas you can tour by bicycle, amid olive groves and flat vineyards.
Nature
Maipú is Mendoza's closest and flattest wine area, ideal for cycling along dirt roads through low-trellis vineyards, century-old olive groves and irrigation channels. Unlike Luján de Cuyo, small and medium-sized family wineries dominate here, many open to visitors without a reservation.
Activities
- Cycling from winery to winery, with bike rentals available in central Maipú (the bike Wine Route)
- Visits to historic wineries like Trapiche or La Rural, with its Wine Museum
- Olive oil tasting at family-run mills, another strong local tradition
- Short horseback rides and sulky (traditional carriage) rides through the vineyards
When to go
October to May, avoiding the winter cold; March-April coincides with the grape harvest and the National Grape Harvest Festival in Mendoza city.
