Offered in: Portuguese and 2 more

It is a 4-day trip to the senses and emotion: it unites literature with oenology and tourism. We enjoy a full afternoon at Finca Los Alamos, where we have lunch and have a Literary Workshop looking at the labyrinth that was built in honor of Jorge Luis Borges.
It is a personalized journey: it is possible to incorporate and choose other authors of your preference. Just like adding days and changing the excursions you want.

Wine tourism activities have everything to excite wine lovers: visit to a winery, cycling through vineyards, tastings, creating your own blend or being a sommelier for a few hours! This added to one of the literary gatherings, which will be accompanied by a tasting of 3 wines from a boutique winery and a regional snack.
It is a very different trip from the conventional ones, with many more activities and excursions, plus the bonus of the Workshop experiences and the literary gatherings.
