Ruca Malen - Restaurant Luján De Cuyo - Argentina

($40) While winery restaurants are common throughout both Luján and Maipu, few have perfected the vineyard-side dinning experience like Ruca Malen. The two-story dinning room is lined with picture windows that offer panoramic views across the vineyard to the soaring Cordon del Plata Mountains. Attentive waiters walk guests through the five wines that are perfectly matched with the five-course, locally influenced meal, which includes pork empanadas, smoked squash, and grilled tenderloin. The meal doesn’t come cheap; however, the price includes lunch, wines, and a guided tour of the bodega. Anyone willing to splurge will walk away both well-fed and satisfied. Reservations are required.
