THE PLACE
A winery worth lingering at

MAIPÚ BY BIKE
Wine, vineyards and the freedom to explore
Cycling through Maipú offers a closer view of vineyards and everyday life around the wineries. As a result, you can choose your stops and spend longer wherever you feel most comfortable.
On arrival, take time to enjoy the vineyard setting before moving on. Afterwards, you can continue exploring at your own pace.
THE WINERY
What makes Bodega Mevi in Maipú special
Mevi was founded in 1991 by Oscar Vignart and Rolando Meninato. Over time, the project grew around an estate of approximately 12 hectares and a family approach to winemaking, with Malbec among its prominent varieties.
Its wines include Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Torrontés. In addition, labels include the MEVI, Reserva de Familia, Gran Reserva de Familia and Vignart Gran Reserva ranges. Since availability changes, ask which wines are offered during your visit.
However, there is more to Bodega Mevi in Maipú than its wine list. The vineyards, open-air setting and opportunity to stay for a while after your first glass are just as appealing.
THE LANDSCAPE
Terraces, vineyards and views of the Andes
Two terraces at Bodega Mevi in Maipú overlook the vineyards and the Andes. The winery also has an air-conditioned indoor room. Consequently, on clear days, the scenery becomes an integral part of both tastings and meals.
That setting makes Mevi a welcome place for a longer pause. Rather than rushing from one winery to the next, you can sit down, share a meal and take in the views.
WINE TASTINGS
Winery tours and wine tastings at Bodega Mevi
Depending on the experience, available visits may include an introduction to winemaking, access to designated winery or vineyard areas and a wine tasting. For a guided tour, arrange the service in advance and confirm availability.
As a planning guide, some tasting or reservation experiences take about one hour. However, this does not mean every visit lasts exactly 60 minutes; if you also have lunch, allow considerably more time.
FOOD & WINE
Bodega Mevi restaurant: a relaxed lunch stop
At Bodega Mevi in Maipú, the restaurant adds a food experience to a day of winery visits. Depending on the current menu, options may include empanadas, sharing platters, meat, trout, multi-course menus and à la carte dishes. Menus and formats can change with the season.
Furthermore, eating at the winery saves you from leaving the route to find a restaurant. If you plan to combine wine tasting and lunch, leave enough time and check what is being served that day.
RESERVATIONS
Do you need a reservation to visit Bodega Mevi?
Cyclists can often stop at Mevi for wine tasting or lunch without a prior reservation, according to the visitor arrangements reported by Maipu Bikes. Nevertheless, service depends on opening hours, capacity and current availability.
For a guided winery tour, however, booking ahead is recommended. Larger groups and visits during busy periods should also confirm arrangements directly with the winery.
