It used to be the case that winemaking was something you were born with here in Mendoza, but in recent years there has been a shift taking the wine making tradition out of the home garage into big, flashy wineries with guards at the gate. A new project has emerged to bring oenology back home, by teaching the youngest generation how to make wines from scratch. Cecilia Cabrera is leading a Dolwines initiative to teach young children at primary school how to grow, harvest and ferment their own grapes – learning all the valuable biology and chemistry in-between – and resulting in designing, bottling and labelling their own special wine at Lujan bodega Dolium. The initiative started two years ago to great success with children and their families relishing in the opportunity to learn together and bringing local families back into the bodega.
