Item Description

One exciting week in Mendoza, Argentina!  This is an amazing opportunity for two couples – or one lucky family – to have a once in a lifetime, guaranteed incredible experience in this very special wine region. You will spend part of the trip staying in the Catena's family vineyard home, and the balance in an idyllic wine country residence close to Ernesto Catena and Joanna Foster’s biodynamic Tikal Natural Vineyard.  

You will be "family" while you're in Mendoza! The Catenas will show you all of the very best that Mendoza has to offer. You will be wined and dined, enjoying tastings at distinguished wineries: the Catena Zapata winery (the most highly awarded in Argentina), CaRo Winery (a project between the Baron de Rothschild and Nicolas Catena), their beautiful biodynamic Tikal Natural Vineyard and Stella Crinita Winery, Escorihuela Winery, and many more. There will be delicious dining at Francis Mallmann’s famous restaurants, as well as empanada making, olive oil tasting, folklore dancing, horseback riding, and loads of other activities in and around the vineyard.  Maybe you are already an epicure and oenophile and if not…you will become one!

Item Special Note

Open to the Urban community only. The package is designed for two couples or one family. The offer is open for one year. This is a working vineyard and therefore the harvest months will not be easily available and some dates in the Argentine summer and throughout the year are also reserved for work and family use.

If you have questions about this package or would like to place an absentee bid, please email Christa Sims in Urban's Development Department at csims@urbanschool.org .
