Mendoza Wine Tour
3 days / 2 nights
The beautiful city of Mendoza lies at the base of the Andes, closer to Santiago, Chile than to Buenos Aires. This clean, well laid-out city, with tree-lined streets and parks, is an all-season destination boasting ski resorts, wineries, a beautiful civic center, and mountains. It is the heart of Argentina’s growing wine production, since it houses most of the country’s vineyards and wine industries, and the Grape Harvest Festival continues to be an important part of this province’s culture. Come and enjoy the magic of the landscape and the quality of the wines.
