Mendoza Province, Argentina Argentina

Desert to vineyards with huge mountains framing it all, what a place to loose yourself in!

Mendoza and Santiago del Estero provinces produce much of the wine in Argentina, here you will be staying at secluded haciendas where as well as tasting, fine barbecued meats are on hand to compliment the exquisite wines on offer.

Red wines are the speciality of Mendoza province and their Malbecs and Cabernet Sauvignons are simply some of the best in the world. You’ll visit Appellation d’origine vineyards and get to catch the locals around this impressive part of the world with the refreshing Andes as a backdrop.

he Fiesta de la Vendimia is an alternative harvest festival, this time locals sensibly giving all their possible thanks to nature’s allowance of vines to bear fruit. This is in March and the festival queen is crowned to top off a great cultural compliment to the viticulture of the region.

This is a dedicated tour with the best food, drink and accommodation in mind.
