Argentina is the fifth largest producer of wine in the world.
Since less than six percent of this massive productionÊis exported, chances are that you have never tried the wines you'll be sampling in Mendoza province.
On your customized excursion you will have the opportunity to meet winery owners and winemakers, immerse yourself in the Argentine wine culture, taste a wide range of fine wines, and enjoy the dramatic splendor of this Andes region.
Two- to five-day wine and food excursions are the most popular, however, trips of any length are available.
Mendoza is the wine capital of Argentina. The city, located at the foothills of the Andes, 610 miles west of Buenos Aires, boasts a population of over one million. The dry climate, cool nights and hot days, the mineral-rich water, the sandy soil, and an abundance of sun combine to make this one of the finest wine growing regions in the world---the perfect terroir---capable of producing great wines of the highest order.
Originally a desert, Mendoza has been transformed into a beautiful green oasis thanks to modern-day irrigation systems that were originally introduced in the days of the Incas. From the first immigrants to the current inhabitants, the people of Mendoza honor nature. Their hard work has produced a cornucopia of greenery throughout the immaculately manicured streets. Attractive plazas, broad avenues with ceramic-tiled sidewalks, numerous parks and fountains, rose gardens, and pedestrian walkways contribute to Mendoza's unique charm. With Mendoza as your arrival point, and at times your home base, you'll have the chance visit the region's premiere wineries to sample vintage reds and whites in the various brewing stages, including Argentina's famous Malbecs.
