One of my favourite wine events in Mendoza is the Wine & Cinema month (Vino el Cine) which takes place annually between mid-November and mid-December. It’s a chance to drink wine and watch some classics al fresco in the gardens of some of Mendoza’s prettiest wineries while donating to charity.

The charity being raised for this year is Fundacion Notti which offers training and support for the local hospital. The proceeds of the tickets (costing $200 pesos each) will go to Fundacion Notti.

This year the films are all wine themed. Here’s what you’ve got to look forward to with 2018’s series of Vine el Cine:

14th November: Bodegas Caro is showing El Camino del Vino
16th November: Bodega La Rural is showing Back to Burgundy
17th November: Alta Vista is showing French Kiss
24th November: Nieto Senetiner is showing Year of the Comet
28th November: Casa El Enemigo is showing A Walk in the Clouds
29th November: Catena Zapata is showing Blood and Wine
30th November: Tres Wines is showing A Good Year

Sunset, camera, action! Mendoza’s openair cinema season returns

by Amanda Barnes November 7, 2016

written by Amanda Barnes

If you are a fan of movies and wine, this is your month in Mendoza! The open air cinema season kicked off last weekend at Catena Zapata winery, and marks the beginning of six weeks of outdoor cinema hosted at wineries around Mendoza.

The annual charity event is hosted by Bodegas de Argentina in order to raise money for Fundavita, a local cancer charity helping families financially and mentally to battle the disease and improve cancer research in Mendoza. Each ticket for the events costs $100 pesos and raises money for Fundavita.

Wineries help sponsor the event offering their vineyards and gardens to become an outdoor cinema for the evening and inviting guests to sample their wine during the performance.

Most of the movies are classics from the last 30 years and the series offers a nostalgic hour or two of cinematic splendor in the beautiful surrounds of Mendoza’s wineries. It’s a perfect evening to enjoy a beautiful sunset, a good movie and some great wines while donating to a good cause. What could be more inviting on a summer’s evening?

Here’s the full line up, and you can get tickets online here!
