Touring South America is a great adventure. During our wine tour in January, we explore the two giants of the region, Argentina and Chile, neighbours separated by the mighty Andes. Today, both countries make top-class wines. We start in Argentina and, after a week, cross the Andes Mountains into Chile, a passage that offers unforgettable views. Our lunch that day will be at 3000 m (9000 ft) altitude.
We will taste wines that showcase the countries’ wine traditions, as well as the innovative initiatives that exist today. We meet exciting winemakers and enjoy lunches that are often barbecues in the garden with treats such as juicy meat, freshly baked empanadas, and other local specialities.
In Mendoza, we experience high altitude vineyards, while the Chilean coast offers a cooler climate and elegant, fresh wines. In the Colchagua Valley, we encounter the classic Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. And enjoy (or are introduced to) the pisco sour rite.
In Buenos Aires, we learn about the history of tango through a superb tango show, and in the legendary port city of Valparaíso, we enjoy incredible street art.
Between all the visits and tastings, we also have time to get to know the cities/towns where we stay during the trip, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Santa Cruz and Santiago. In Chile, a pisco sour as an aperitif always feels right.
