La Rural
Today we went to visit the bodega "La Rural". They produce the famous Rutini wines some of which are also exported to Europe.
La Rural also has a wine museum where you can have a tour through the winery and the whole wine making process is explained. The most important part of a visit to a vinyard is of course the tasting. Unfortunately the wines we got to taste were of a low quality.
We made up for that by going for lunch -with some Germans & Swiss we ran into- and having some excellent wine with the food.
In general wine is very cheap in Argentina. Even in a restaurant you can get a good bottle of wine for about 20 pesos ($7).
