Maipú

Overview

Maipú is one of Mendoza's oldest and most traditional wine regions, located just southeast of the city. Its lower elevation and warmer climate produce ripe, generous wines, and the area is famous for its historic bodegas, many of which have been operating for over a century.

The region is particularly known for Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bonarda, often produced in a classic, fruit-forward style. Maipú is also a center for olive oil production, making it an ideal destination for food and wine travelers seeking an authentic Mendoza experience.
