Discover more about Bodega y Cavas de WEINERT

Located in the heart of Mendoza's renowned Luján de Cuyo region, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert stands as a testament to Argentina's rich winemaking history. Founded in 1975 by Don Bernardo Weinert, a Brazilian of German origin, the winery emerged from the restoration of an architecturally significant building dating back to 1890. Don Bernardo's vision was simple: to produce high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Mendoza. He enlisted the expertise of Rául de la Mota, considered the father of modern Argentinian winemaking, to outfit the winery with the latest technology while honoring traditional techniques. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, where wines are aged for extended periods in large French and Slovenian oak casks, some of which are over a century old. Today, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is managed by Don Bernardo's daughter, Iduna Weinert, who continues her father's legacy of producing elegant, age-worthy wines. The winery is particularly known for its Malbec, along with other varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Visitors can explore the historic cellars, learn about the winemaking process, and taste a range of Weinert's acclaimed wines.
