A Vineyard Harvest Elopement in Mendoza
During the vendimia, the vines turn gold and red, the grapes come in, and the whole valley celebrates. A ceremony timed to the harvest is Mendoza at its most alive and beautiful.
You picture a vineyard elopement among neat green summer rows.
The most beautiful and alive time is the harvest, when the vines blaze gold and red.
A Mendoza harvest elopement catches the vines at their most spectacular, during the vendimia, when the whole valley celebrates.

From late February through April, the grape harvest, the vendimia, transforms the valley: the vines turn gold, amber, and deep red, the fruit is picked, and the region celebrates its most important season with festivals and feasts. The colour and the energy make it the most photogenic window of the year.

From late February through April, the grape harvest, the vendimia, transforms the valley: the vines turn gold, amber, and deep red, the fruit is picked, and the region celebrates its most important season with festivals and feasts. The colour and the energy make it the most photogenic window of the year.
The ceremony in the harvest
A ceremony timed to the harvest can happen among the coloured vines with the Andes behind, followed by a private tasting of the new wine and a candlelit dinner in the rows. Being there as the valley brings in its fruit gives the day a sense of abundance and celebration nothing else matches.
As your Elopement Curator I time the trip to the vendimia, arrange the bodega, coordinate the symbolic ceremony, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, a harvest elopement is Mendoza at its most alive.
