The department of San Rafael is one of the bastions of Mendoza’s wine culture. Birthplace of large wine cellars like Jean Rivier, Valentin Bianchi, Roca and Goyenechea, it is the second most important department of the province in terms of wine culture, with a cultivated surface of more than 16,000 hectares. Specifically, one of the icons of the zone is the wine cellar “Viñas del Golf,” a very promising enterprise.
