Salentein

An Uco Valley winery with a guided visit and tasting, two restaurants, the Killka cultural centre with an art gallery and the Posada Salentein on the estate.

Salentein is in Los Árboles, on Route 89 in the Uco Valley, Mendoza's high-altitude area at the foot of the Andes. Its labels link it with art and describe it as boutique. Its offer brings together a winery, restaurants, an art gallery and an inn on one property.

Its standout varieties include Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Visits are offered in Spanish, English and Portuguese, by advance booking. The languages come from a tourism portal, and the number of rooms and the restaurant hours vary by source. Leaving extra time in your schedule is advisable so you can enjoy the place calmly.
