Located at the foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua (the highest peak in the world outside of Asia), with over a thousand active wineries producing more than 70% of Argentina’s wine production; Mendoza is considered the heart of the Argentine winemaking industry.
Argentina is the fifth largest wine producer in the world, and home to some of the best high-altitude wines, including some of the signature Malbec wines which annually receive numerous prizes and distinctions at the most famous international competitions.
Mendoza also offers plenty of exciting outdoor adventures to enjoy; including rafting, horseback riding, trekking, rappelling, and zip lining, making it a perfect destination for wine-lovers and adventure-seekers alike.
