Mendoza Wine Tours — Private Vineyard & Andean Experiences

Argentina's wine capital — where the Andes meet the Malbec

Introduction

Mendoza produces some of the finest red wine on earth, and the winemakers who make it are among the most passionate people you will ever share a table with. The best time to visit Mendoza Argentina for harvest is March through May — the vineyards turn amber and gold, and the bodegas open their doors to those who know to ask.

Mendoza Argentina sits at the foot of the Andes at over 700 metres altitude — this elevation is the secret behind its world-class Malbec, concentrating flavours that lower-altitude regions cannot replicate. We arrange private access to boutique bodegas that do not appear on public tourism maps, lunches in vine-covered courtyards with the winemaker present, and stays at the best hotels in Mendoza Argentina — intimate wine lodges set within the vineyards themselves, where you wake to Andean views and fall asleep to the sound of irrigation channels.

A well-designed Mendoza Argentina vacation moves between the precision of the cellar and the fire of the countryside asado, with the Andes always on the horizon.
