The Wine Republic

Small, charming, French-owned winery attended personally by owners Felipe and Brigette and their small team of bi-lingual guides. The tours are personal and informative with an opportunity to see all the wine production in one small building.

The wines are well-honed and elegant, perhaps taken from their French tastes. Carinae does some great Syrahs as well as their top label blend, Prestige, which often trumps bigger wineries in competitions.

Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees in Maipu, it is easy to visit by car or Maipu bike tour. Thirty minutes from Mendoza Center.
