The morning belongs to the city before the afternoon hands itself over entirely to wine. A short errand starts the day, then a walk through Mendoza's buried origins and back through the heart of the modern centre, before heading south into the flat vineyard country of Luján de Cuyo.
Morning: The Old City on Foot
The day begins with an 8:30 am drop-off at Lubricentro QuickLube on Avenida José Vicente Zapata — the workshop opens at 8:30 and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so being there at the door is worth it. With the car in hand, the morning opens up on foot.
