Photo Essay: Rally de las Bodegas Classic Cars & Wine Country in Argentina

The annual Rally de las Bodegas brings friendly competition and classic cars to the celebrated Mendoza wine region in Argentina for a true old-school rally, a multi-stage, timed event on roads (paved and unpaved) throughout the Mendoza region, past wineries, and into the Andes. For spectators like us, it’s a chance to see a few rare oldies, decades of the country’s beloved Fiats, and a whole lot of Porsches, Mustangs, and Mercedes all showing off among the vines.

Bodega Trapiche was a sponsor of the 2020 Rally de las Bogedas and hosted a lovely event for participants at their historic winery.

The Rally de las Bodegas is also a chance to try some of the area’s celebrated wines as cars and drivers make pit stops at wineries including Bodega Trapiche and Bodega Andeluna, along the route.
