About Mendoza
Mendoza is synonymous with Argentine wine. The region's 1,200+ wineries produce some of the world's finest Malbecs in high-altitude vineyards with Andes backdrops. Wine tours range from casual tastings to full-day education experiences. Beyond wine, Mendoza offers Andes mountain trekking, mountain biking, and rock climbing. The city itself is vibrant with plazas, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Stargazing in the thin mountain air rivals any observatory.
