Catena Zapata: The Blending Games

Best time to visit
Tuesday to Saturday
Duration
3:00 pm to 5:30 pm · 2 hours 30 minutes

A participatory experience exploring the art of blending inside one of Mendoza’s most iconic wineries.

An afternoon at Catena Zapata devoted to exploring wine blending in a playful, participatory way.

The experience is scheduled from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm and begins with a private transfer from a centrally located hotel to Catena Zapata in Luján de Cuyo. At the winery, we begin with a welcome and guided visit that introduces the winemaking process and the work behind each label. Then comes the tasting. Rather than focusing only on finished wines, we taste different components used in blends, exploring how expressions of terroir and grape varieties contribute distinctive characteristics to the final result. With this knowledge, The Blending Games begins: a hands-on workshop in which each participant can experiment with the available components and create their own combination with professional guidance. Once the blend is created, we evaluate the final result, compare the different creations and conclude the experience from a perspective much closer to the work of a winemaker. At the end, the private transfer returns us to the hotel.

Taste, blend and discover wine through the eyes of a winemaker.
