Zuccardi is one of Argentina’s most celebrated wineries, located in the heart of the Uco Valley at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Since planting its first vineyards in Mendoza in 1963, the Zuccardi family has led Argentine viticulture through innovation, sustainability, and a deep respect for terroir. Today, you can experience an estate that brings together nature, architecture, gastronomy, and wine, set amid vast vineyards and framed by snow-capped Andes peaks, making it a landmark destination in Mendoza.
Through guided tours, you can discover how altitude, climate, and soil shape mountain wines grown in sites such as Paraje Altamira, Gualtallary, and San Pablo, where vineyards sit between 3,480 and 4,590 feet (1,060 to 1,400 meters) above sea level. These stone- and limestone-rich terroirs support a diverse range of wines, from village and regional expressions to focused single-vineyard bottlings like Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal and Gravascal, all defined by purity and a strong sense of place.
You can explore a portfolio that spans red, white, and limited sparkling wines, led by Malbec and Cabernet Franc, and structured into six tiers that progress from broader regional styles to paraje, parcel, and experimental wines. Each level reflects increasing precision in terroir expression and winemaking approach.
At the heart of the vineyards, you encounter the architectural centerpiece of Zuccardi Valle de Uco, as compelling as the wines themselves. Designed by Fernando Raganato, the winery appears to emerge from the earth, combining raw stone and concrete with clean geometric lines. Conceived as an extension of the Andes, the building integrates seamlessly into the landscape while meeting the functional demands of winemaking and hosting a refined fine-dining experience with panoramic mountain views.
Under the leadership of Sebastián Zuccardi, alongside head winemaker Laura Principiano and viticulturist Martín Di Stefano, you witness a winery recognized worldwide, including honors such as World’s Best Vineyard and multiple 100-point wines.
