Argentina is a major wine-producing country, ranking about fifth in the world. It is a country with a long wine tradition. It is certainly a New World country.
But it is also strongly influenced by the Old World, partly thanks to many Italian and Spanish immigrants. Among the New World countries, Argentinians have always drunk the most wine, and the country has a long-standing wine culture.
We visit Mendoza, the country’s largest wine region and a magnificent sight with the snow-capped Andes as a backdrop. In recent years, domestic producers and foreign investors have invested in Argentine vineyards. Some have large, impressive wineries equipped with the latest technology and staffed by well-trained winemakers.
The Andes Mountains separate Argentina from Chile. After our days in Mendoza, our bus will take us over the mighty Andes, a great experience. Up here in the mountains is the border control between the two countries.
Once on the other side, we head west to the Pacific Ocean and the city of Viña del Mar. We visit cool coastal vineyards in Casablanca and San Antonio before continuing to charming Santa Cruz and well-known Colchagua, known for its cabernet sauvignon and carménère. If you haven’t tasted a pisco sour yet, now is the time to do it. It is a Chilean national drink.
We meet in Buenos Aires, and the tour ends with a night in Santiago de Chile.
“C’est formidable!”
Our South America is an experience, a feast with fantastic lunches in the vineyards, great wines and welcoming people.
