Wines of Mendoza:
Mendoza is justly famous for its signature wine, Malbec, but there are many other varietals to try. If youl like champagne, that's another good choice in Mendoza because a number of wine makers are producing this wine in the laborious tradition of methode champenoise. The results are delicious and the price is a huge bargain!
In the last year many new wineries have opened and many others have started to receive visitors for the first time. For our tours we choose the very best of the different types of wineries--some old and some new, with different wine-making styles, traditional or contemporary architecture, with the most attentive welcome, and the best tasting options.
If you're a wine aficionado, we can create a custom tour for you. Custom features may include a private wine tasting and briefing with a local expert, meetings with winemakers, or a class on pairing Mendoza wines with cheese or other foods. Of course we'll include visits to to the most interesting wineries, and many tastings of the premium Malbecs, other varietals and highly-rated blends that are have gained worldwide acclaim and resulted in Mendoza's being named one of the "eight great wine capitals of the world."

Wine is not the only thing that's busting out all over
Mendoza. The area's many talented painters, sculptors, fabric artists

new venues--galleries, museums and even a high-fashion clothing
store--for exhibiting and performing their art. To offer the best to
our clients, we're building a network of relationships with artists
and musicians who value the opportunity to meet and exhibit their
talents to visitors.
In fact, we’ve created a new non-profit organization—Mendoza Intercultural Association—for the express purpose of encouraging intercultural exchange between people of Argentine and other cultures. So stay tuned for new and exciting programs on these themes.

In addition to top wines, Mendoza benefits from excellent and varied
local produce. New restaurants and cafes—including winery
restaurants—have created delicious menus and wine pairings
for their cosmopolitan visitors. As more and more wine lovers come
to Mendoza, new, vibrant dining venues are adding to both the variety

exchange rate for dollars and euros is still a bargain—is the
time to join the party.
And the Amazing Andes:
Strolling around the city of Mendoza, you’ll get unexpected glimpses
of the Andes as you glance to the west. Plying the wine roads of Lujan de
Cuyo and especially the Valle de Uco, you’ll “ooh”
and “ah” at the row of jagged. white-tipped peaks
visible just beyond the endless rows of vineyards. But no visit to
Mendoza is complete without an excursion to the heart of this
majestic range. A short drive from the city, the mountains reveal
themselves in a rainbow of colors and formations--horizontal and
