Mendoza and the Wine Regions

The province of Mendoza, situated at the foot of the glorious Andean Mountains, is the most prominent wine region in Argentina and the fifth most bountiful in the world.

The wines produced here are world-renowned, favoured for their unique flavour that is owed to high altitude and intense sunlight. Once a dry and arid expanse of land, the vineyards that are located in the semi-arid desert rely on mountain rivers fed by melted Andean glaciers.

A little more about Mendoza and Wine Regions

Visitors to the region can explore the numerous vineyards, sample the produce in carefully paired culinary experiences, and even venture into the Andes.

Mendoza is not only a hub of remarkable vineyards, but it is also an ideal stop-off point for travellers navigating between Buenos Aires and Santiago in Chile. The city of Mendoza harbours a European feel and offers opportunities for boutique shopping and dining experiences.
