From Cafayate we went to Cordoba which I have to say I was a little dissapointed with. Not much to offer really, just another big city so we left and headed to Mendoza after a few days. Mendoza was nice enough and obvioulsy we couldn´t leave without doing the main excursion here....going to the wine bodegas by bike.
We went to get the bikes at 10.30am and straight away we were offered some vino tinto. After two glasses we started the bike tour...started as we meant to go on. haha. First stop was the chocolate and liquor factory. For 15 pesos ( 3 pounds) we got to try bread, olive oil, jams and most importantly 2 shots of one of the most delicious chocolate liquors I have ever had (so i bought a bottle of it) and some chocolate. Not a bad start. Then we cycled to a wine museum. It was quite funny watching everyone pretend that they were actually interested in the musesum - clearly everybody just wanted their free glass of vino.
The trip pretty much continued in the same way with a stop for lunch (can´t be drinking on an empty stomach now) and then the 12km back to the bike shop where we were given even more wine. Not a bad day!
