Bodega Don Bosco in Maipú is one of the oldest wineries in Argentina one that many of Mendoza’s winemakers will have a special place for in their heart. The history of Don Bosco winery began when the Salesian missionary, doña Lucía Barrionuevo de Bombal donated a plot of land planted with vines and a bodega which was turned into an agricultural school for the youth of the immigrant community.
The winery continues to work with the local community by supporting young winemakers and is the teaching base for the Don Bosco winemaking college where many local winemakers learn their trade. You can buy some of their small production, experimental wines from the winery in Maipu.
