Bodega Mevi: Wine, Vineyards and Food in Maipú

Bodega Mevi is a family-run boutique winery in Maipú, Mendoza, where wine, vineyards, landscape and gastronomy come together as part of the same experience. In addition to visiting the winery and enjoying a wine tasting, you can also have lunch at its restaurant and spend time on its terraces overlooking the vineyards and the Andes.

For those exploring the Maipú Wine Route by bicycle, Mevi is located in the southern section of the circuit and offers a different combination from other wineries: an experience that can bring together wine, food and time to enjoy the surrounding landscape.

Bodega Mevi in Maipú is an option for travelers who want to visit a boutique winery while also adding a gastronomic experience to their day.

A family-run boutique winery

Mevi was founded in 1991 by Oscar Vignart and Rolando Meninato. The winery has a vineyard estate of approximately 12 hectares, with Malbec as its predominant variety.

Its proposal combines wine production with a visitor experience that includes vineyards, wine tasting and gastronomy.

The varieties identified include Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Torrontés. Its wine lines include labels such as MEVI, MEVI Reserva de Familia, MEVI Gran Reserva de Familia and Vignart Gran Reserva.

The idea is not simply to turn the visit into a wine catalogue, but to discover a boutique winery and some of the labels that make up its production.

The landscape is part of the experience

One of the elements that defines Mevi is its relationship with the surrounding landscape. The winery has two terraces overlooking the vineyards and the Andes, as well as an air-conditioned room with a capacity of approximately 50 people.

The terraces allow visitors to combine wine tasting or a meal with views of the Maipú landscape, making the experience about more than simply visiting the winery.

Winery visit, wine tasting and vineyard experience

The visitor experience includes a walk through the vineyards, an explanation of the winemaking process and a wine tasting.

The reservation experiences currently identified have an approximate duration of 60 minutes for the tasting and/or lunch. This duration applies to specific bookable services and should not be understood as a mandatory length for every visit.

If you also include lunch and time on the terraces, the experience can last considerably longer.

Food at Bodega Mevi

Mevi has its own restaurant, so the winery visit can be combined with lunch at the property.

The food offering includes options such as empanadas, picadas, meats, trout, sharing boards and other lunch choices, together with wine by the glass. The current offering also includes multi-course menus and à la carte options.

This makes Mevi a particularly interesting stop for travelers who want to include gastronomy in their route through the wineries of Maipú.

Do you need a reservation?

You do not need a reservation to visit Mevi when you arrive by bicycle.

If you want to take a guided tour, it is advisable to request a reservation.
