Bodega La Abeja is an emblem of San Rafael, as one of the oldest wineries in the region, founded in 1883 by Don Rodolfo Iselín. It was not only a pioneer in Mendoza winemaking, but it also holds the title of Wine Museum, offering a fascinating journey through local history and the evolution of Argentine wine. Every bottle tells a story here!

Although any time is a good time to enjoy a fine wine, spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are ideal because of the pleasant weather and vineyard scenery. In the morning, there are usually fewer visitors and the light is perfect for photographs, plus you can start the day with an excellent tasting. A toast to the morning sun!
