1853 The Wine Experience

1853 The Wine Experience is a wine tasting and culture center operating within a historic house in the San Telmo neighborhood. The name refers to the year the Quinta Agronómica de Mendoza was founded, a milestone that marked the beginning of modern viticulture in Argentina by introducing European grape varieties to the country.

The tour takes place in an environment that preserves the colonial architecture characteristic of the area, integrating the building’s history with the tasting experience. Visitors can explore labels from various producing regions of the country, with a focus on the diversity of terroirs and varieties that define current national production.

Its location in San Telmo connects the experience with the historic center of Buenos Aires, allowing visitors to understand the relationship between the city’s urban development and the expansion of the wine industry. The space serves as a meeting point for those seeking to deepen their knowledge of Argentine grape varieties through a technical and sensory approach.

The proposal moves away from mass commercial circuits to focus on the narrative of the producers and the particularities of each wine region. Walking through its facilities, one perceives the intention to link the architectural heritage of Buenos Aires with the productive identity of the Argentine provinces, consolidating a reference point for the study and enjoyment of wine in the heart of the city.
