This list includes Cecchin, Stocco de Viani, Olivícola Laur and Corazón de Lunlunta, all in Maipú, plus Bodega Vistalba in Luján de Cuyo. When choosing, check whether the visit covers a tour of the processing area, whether the tasting is guided and whether oil and wine can be enjoyed at the same place. Duration and opening hours depend on each property, so book beforehand and confirm which activities are available during your travel dates.

- Pair it with a nearby Maipú winery to build a full day without long transfers.
