Mendoza Holidays

Set against the stunning snow-capped peaks of the Andes, Mendoza province is Argentina’s premier wine-producing region. Enjoying over 300 days of sunshine a year, Mendoza’s sun-drenched vineyards are not only beautiful, but they also produce some exceptional wine.

The pleasant city of Mendoza boasts leafy plazas and charming cafés, whilst outside of the city lies over 1,500 vineyards, stretching as far as the eye can see. Offering an enticing mix of large world-renowned wine estates to smaller, boutique and often family run vineyards interspersed with lush green olive groves.

The cobbled streets of nearby Chacras de Coria offer a delightful alternative, with tasting rooms and small boutique hotels. Further south brings you to the renowned Uco Valley, where arguably the best Malbec grapes in the world are grown. Boasting the highest altitude vineyards in the region, many other varieties also thrive here including Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.
