The next morning drivers will leave the city and fuel up with breakfast at Finca Agostino, stop for lunch at Villas Del Malbec and end the day at Cheval des Andes. The final day, Saturday the 15th, will include a first stop at Bodega Dante Robino and lunch at Francis Mallmann´s Siete Fuegos at The Vines of Mendoza.
