Argentina is one of the world’s largest wine countries. Tradition and European influences meet the dramatic landscapes of the Andes. In Mendoza, vineyards spread out at the foot of snow-capped mountains, and modern bodegas like architectural wonders coexist with family-owned farms.
We stay in Mendoza for a few days to experience this landscape and taste some truly great wines. Then we cross the mighty Andes, a magnificent journey that takes the whole day. We enjoy lunch at a high altitude (10,500 ft), just before we come to the border crossing.
On the Chilean side, the Pacific breeze and the coastal cities of Viña del Mar, Casablanca, Valparaíso and San Antonio await. Here, the cool winds help produce elegant, fresh wines.
The tour continues to Colchagua, home to cabernet sauvignon, carménère, and, of course, a pisco sour or two. Throughout the journey, we enjoy delicious asados for lunch with the wine producers and fantastic private wine tastings at some of these two countries’ most prominent wine producers. A great treat.
