Lujan de Cuyo is another wine region right outside Mendoza.
I loved pairing bike riding and wine drinking so much in Maipu (the other wine region outside Mendoza city) that I decided to do it again, but this time, with Travel in Bike. Travel in Bike is owned by a very friendly, young couple. When we came, the wife had taken their newborn son to a check-up, but her husband Marcos was very helpful—he even drove to the the first winery to make sure we made it okay! I highly recommend them—$40 pesos ($10 dollars) to rent a bike all day. Marcos will also reserve all the wineries for you, but I recommend calling ahead if you have a preference on where to go.
