Be captivated by the aromas, music, and rustic charm of Tarija on an experience designed for true lovers of wine and living culture. The Coplera de Méndez Wine Route is not your typical sightseeing tour; it's a journey into the heart of the region's most traditional and authentic wine production.
Our adventure begins in the morning as we set off to explore three of the wineries with the strongest local identity: Bodega La Buena Tierra, Bodega Los Corceles de Méndez, and Bodega Don Victorino. Here, you won't see large-scale industrial processes, but rather the love and family secrets passed down from generation to generation to create unique wines.
Throughout the day, your senses will take center stage. Guided by the producers themselves, you'll explore underground cellars steeped in history, the mystical Sala de la Tradición (Hall of Tradition), and the Bodegón de los Monjes (Monks' Wine Cellar). You'll enjoy the exclusive experience of tasting the wine straight from the fermentation tanks and will actively participate in the artisanal process, corking and labeling your own bottle with your own hands.
The tasting is a journey in itself. Get ready to taste a huge variety of exclusive drinks: from the iconic artisanal Singani to fine liqueurs such as Ratafía and Cognac, and selected grape varieties including Muscat of Alexandria, Barbera, and Syrah. You'll also discover the mysticism of “Vino Mellicero” and the traditional Chapaco food tasting in Yambuy.
To top off the day, we'll share a Creole lunch with authentic Chapaco flavors, prepared over the fire of a traditional wood-burning stove. All this will take place in a lively cultural courtyard, where traditional music and local folk songs will make you feel part of the community. Before heading back, you'll have some free time to buy your favorite products directly from the people who made them.
