Benegas winery in Luján de Cuyo is one of Mendoza’s more historic wineries – the Benegas family first established their winery in 1883. That winery, Trapiche, was sold eventually but the fourth generation vigneron, Federico Benegas, bought back one of the old vineyards and its bodega in 1999 and the Benegas family wine production was reborn.
A visit to the 1901 Benegas winery is inevitably a step back in time, especially with the museum of winemaking relics from the last century. There’s also an excellent poncho collection and an atmospheric tasting in the cellar awaits. Try the Cab Franc.
