Bodega Trapiche
A large historic winery in Maipú. Its old Italian Renaissance-style building from 1912 has been restored and opened to visitors, and the site still has a remnant branch railway used to transport wine.
Trapiche is one of Argentina's largest and oldest wineries. Its old Maipú plant was built in 1912 in the Italian Renaissance style, with the winery's name carved on the façade. Beside it, the branch railway and platform used to transport wine are still preserved. The restored winery offers guided tours, tastings and a restaurant, with some tastings paired with produce from the estate's own kitchen garden. It suits visitors who want to learn about the industrialisation of Argentine winemaking without travelling far. It is about 30 minutes by car from Mendoza city and is also often included in bike-and-wine routes around Maipú. Advance booking is required, and details are on the official website.
