In addition to growing some of the world’s best Malbec grapes, Mendoza is also a thermal area. Today we took advantage and spent our morning at the spa.
After a few hours of water therapy, we headed off to Bodega Fogón for another winery lunch. Fogón is one of the oldest vineyards in Mendoza, established in 1897. We were supposed to eat on their outdoor patio under lovely weeping willows, but alas, it started raining as we pulled up, so they accommodated us in their beautiful indoor space.
We’ve said before that portions here are huge. We split an appy and a steak for lunch and still had trouble finishing it all. Another beautifully presented meal!
Tomorrow we head into the mountains to hike. It snowed up there today so we will bring our gloves, toques and warm jackets.
