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
- 1st December: Bodega Santa Julia is showing Vino Para Robar
- 6th December: Renacer is showing Sideways
- 7th December: Masi Tupungato is showing Days of Wine and Roses
- 8th December: Bodega Trivento is showing Julie and Julia
- 14th December: Domaine Bousquet is showing Notorious
The wineries open at 8pm for a welcome glass of wine and winery tour and the films start at 9pm. Tickets can be purchased at Fundación en Bandera de los Andes 2876 or online here.
