Mendoza’s wine culture has its own media institution — and today ‘Matices del Vino’ toasts 500 episodes with a party in the vineyards of Maipú.
Los 500 de Matices del Vino: A Wine Media Milestone
Los 500 de Matices del Vino marks five hundred programs of the Mendoza radio show that has become required listening for Argentina’s wine industry — broadcasting from La Red 94.1 and, lately, from hotel lobbies and bodegas across the country.
The anniversary party takes the format back to its natural habitat: Bodega Alandes in Maipú, with a grand peña of wine, food and live music from late morning through the afternoon.
Why Maipú Matters
Maipú is where Mendoza’s wine story began — the province’s oldest viticultural zone, twenty minutes from the city and dense with historic bodegas, olive-oil producers and small museums.
A Saturday peña at a Maipú bodega is the most Mendoza plan imaginable: long tables, Malbec by the glass and the Andes on the horizon.
Tonight: Favio Posca at Teatro Mendoza
The city counters at night with Favio Posca’s stand-up at the Teatro Mendoza at 9 p.m. — tickets at ARS 30,000 through the usual channels.
Between the Alandes peña and the Posca show, Mendoza offers a full wine-and-laughter Saturday within a twenty-kilometer radius.
Practical Notes for Visitors
Maipú is an easy remise or ride-share from central Mendoza; book the return before the peña ends — late-afternoon demand spikes.
For expats: Matices del Vino’s network is a who-is-who of Mendoza’s wine scene — today’s guest list doubles as a map of the bodegas worth knowing.
