We continue to an olive oil factory where we enjoy a tasting of oils and delicatessen products (olive paste, dehydrated tomatoes accompanied by homemade bread). Our next stop is the Luigi Bosca Winery, which has remained in the hands of the founding family for four generation offering top of the range wines. Finally, we visit Altavista Winery, which is also considered a historical heritage of Mendoza, since it has not stopped functioning in over a century.
