    We begin our journey at Puerto Madero, where the blend of history and modernity mirrors the progress of the country—much like the evolution of Argentine wine. The old docks, now beautifully restored, were once at the heart of trade and exportation that helped put Argentine wine on the world map. From here, we enjoy panoramic views that invite us to think about how wine has transcended borders. The restored docks, once vital to the city’s port activity, are now a symbol of the balance between history and modernity. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Río de la Plata and the Buenos Aires skyline.

    Next, we arrive at Plaza Francia, an iconic spot in the Recoleta neighborhood. This place is not only a cultural landmark but also connects us to Buenos Aires’ European-influenced history, which played a key role in the arrival and development of winemaking in Argentina. Here, we reflect on the historical backdrop that allowed wine to become an essential part of the nation’s identity. On weekends, the plaza comes alive with a traditional artisan market and street performers, making it an open-air cultural hub. From here, you can also admire the impressive Centro Cultural Recoleta building and the nearby famous Recoleta Cemetery.
