“After settling in and showering away the road dust, we decided our first full day would be dedicated to exploring the wineries closest to our stone house. [...] While swimming in the bottomless wines, we managed to also indulge in an amazing lunch of slow braised short rib. The meat literally fell off the bone as it was placed on our table and then proceeded to melt in our mouths. [...] We had decided to take turns being the designated driver and today was my day. On the drive back to the Airbnb, the Andes mountains providing a majestic backdrop in the distance, and we thought this was about as perfect a honeymoon as we could have imagined after months on the road.”
