Image Credit: | https://guide.michelin.com/en/provincia-mendoza/mendoza_777010/restaurant/5-suelos The concept of 'country cooking' is anything but trivial! It is, perhaps, a little surprising to find two brothers and wine experts Héctor and Pablo Durigutti at the helm, both of whom had the clear idea of focusing their efforts on fine dining as the perfect complement to their unique microcosmos at Finca Victoria, a family-run winery with two charming guest houses. The restaurant itself, located just a few metres from the winery's HQ and totally surrounded by vineyards, is set in an elegant glass cube with a thatched roof and takes its name from the different types of soil found on the property. They offer several menus: 'Criollo' and 'Parrales' (both discontinued), 'Albedrío', the so-called '5 Suelos' and another, more exclusive, called 'Historia' (14 courses). The latter is served in a private room (Mesa del Enólogo) and also features an astute wine pairing that explores the evolution of wine from Antiquity to its arrival in Argentina, and then to its expansion as a result of the country's immigrant community. Guests are usually welcomed at the clay oven, with empanadas and a glass of wine!
