Bodega Los Toneles
Mendoza, Argentina
The imposing stone façade of Bodega Los Toneles calls you in for the architecture alone (built in 1922, it has more recently been restored to its original glory and declared one of Mendoza’s cultural heritage sites). But canny diners also go there for the restaurant, Abrasado, which dry-ages its own meats – an ideal accompaniment to these top-level wines, especially the Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate also boasts the free-to-enter La Casona art gallery, with artistic flourishes enigmatically secreted across the many events spaces too. Guided tours immerse you in the rich history of Mendoza art, wine and culture before tasting the vinous portfolio, including the family’s latest ‘Mosquita Muerta’ project of premium blends.
