Bodega CarinaE: A Blend of French Heritage and Argentine Passion

Bodega CarinaE is a charming winery nestled in Cruz de Piedra, a sub-region of Maipú, Mendoza, Argentina. Founded in 1998 by Brigitte and Philippe Subra, a French couple who relocated to Mendoza to pursue their winemaking dreams, CarinaE (named after the Carina constellation) quickly gained recognition for its high-quality wines. In 2020, the winery transitioned to the hands of Agustina and Juan Ignacio, an Argentinian couple who continue the legacy of producing exceptional wines with a distinct local character. The winery boasts vineyards with old vines dating back to 1900 and Arauco olive trees that are approximately 90 years old. CarinaE focuses on low-yield vines and drip irrigation to ensure optimal grape quality. Visitors to Bodega CarinaE can enjoy guided tours and wine tastings, exploring the vineyards and learning about the winemaking process. The winery offers various tasting experiences, including the Degustación Orion and Degustación Corona Australis, which feature a selection of the winery's best wines. For a more immersive experience, visitors can opt for a picnic in the vineyards, complete with a bottle of wine and local delicacies.
