The Best Places to Take a Date in Mendoza, Argentina
Mendoza is easily one of the most romantic places in Argentina. From its picturesque city laden with exceptionally manicured parks and plazas to the backdrop of the Andes mountains, Mendoza charms with its beauty. We round up the best places to take someone out on a date in Mendoza.
Chacras de Coria
Many couples have trouble choosing whether to stay in the city or the valleys when they come to Mendoza. Well, Chacras de Coria give you the best of both worlds so you don’t have to choose. Located outside the city at the entrance to the wine circuits route, this little enclave has everything you need to enjoy Mendoza without ferrying back and forth between the city and the vineyards. It is full of both idyllic boutique hotels and vineyards, as well as world-class restaurants, and so is the perfect choice for a romantic weekend getaway.
Private tour of vineyards
Mendoza is known for its wine, of course, and many travelers coming to the region are expecting to get up close and personal with some vineyards. But many couples looking to spend some quality time together would rather not opt for a group tour, so a great option is to conduct a private tour of the vineyards by hiring a driver to take you around for an afternoon. This way you get to choose which vineyards you want to go to, and you can even drink all the samples at the wine tasting because you won’t have to drive home at the end of the day.
Bike the wineries
For the more active couples out there, hiring bikes to spend the day cycling around the vineyards is one of the most romantic pursuits that you can do. There are plenty of bike rental options all over Mendoza, so put aside an afternoon to cruise around this incredible landscape of sprawling vineyards and epic mountains. Just make sure to stay hydrated, as cycling and drinking wine all day can really take it out of you!
