Don Tiburcio Benegas was a visionary and a pioneer in the Argentinian wine industry in the late 19th century. Around that time, there was a crisis in the production of wheat and alfalfa. He shared vine cuttings that he had brought back from France with all who showed an interest in viticulture.
His great-grandson now owns Bodega Benegas and operates from a large building built in 1901. Bodega Benegas has the capacity to ferment 80000 liters of wine in concrete tanks, mature the wine in 350 French oak barrels and store 200000 bottles of corked wine. The winery produces four lines of wine from three vineyards near Lujan de Cuyo.
