Lagarde is one of those wineries that makes you realize how much Mendoza has grown. The kind of place that often becomes a reference point when exploring wine tours in Mendoza<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was founded in 1897, and today it sits right in the heart of Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo, surrounded by houses and neighborhood streets\u2014because what is now \u201cthe city\u201d wasn\u2019t the city when this place began. In 1969, the Pescarmona family took over, and it has stayed a family project ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History Without a Showroom Feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you visit Lagarde, you don\u2019t get a \u201cnew-world showroom.\u201d You get history in a very Mendoza way: old equipment, old spaces, old textures\u2014plus the contrast of stainless steel next to older materials and the feeling that this winery has lived through many eras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Old Vines and a Regulated Origin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s the vineyard side, which is quietly serious. Lagarde<\/a> has estate vines dating back to 1906 and 1930, and they\u2019re also known for producing Malbec under the Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo D.O.C. (That D.O.C. matters: it\u2019s not a marketing badge; it\u2019s a regulated origin with specific rules, and it was the first D.O.C. in the Americas.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if Lagarde has become a \u201cmust\u201d for many people, it\u2019s also because of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Food as a Pillar, Not an Add-On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have two restaurants on-site: Zonda and Fog\u00f3n. Zonda has been recognized by the MICHELIN Guide (including a Green Star, and the winery highlights its MICHELIN recognition for 2024 and 2025. Fog\u00f3n also appears in the Guide\u2019s selection. And personally, this is where my bias comes in: I\u2019m close with Lucas Olcese, who leads that gastronomic side and has become a major name in Mendoza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So Lagarde gives you something harder to find than it should be: a truly traditional Mendoza winery\u2014emblematic, historic, with real vineyards\u2014paired with a culinary experience that\u2019s not an add-on, but a pillar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why we choose Lagarde: because you can feel time there. In the location, in the tools, in the vines, and in the fact that a winery built \u201coutside the city\u201d ended up right in the middle of it.
