TRIP REVIEW OF SCOTT & DONNA CARLSON

"My wife and I just returned from a 2-week Argentina vacation. We used Argentina Exploration Journeys. They’re really great at planning and execution of a first-class experience. They were so helpful in tailoring our vacation to ensure we had the vacation of our dreams.

The deluxe hotels were way beyond our expectations and really made the vacation memorable. Ask questions and do your research on each place you want to visit and they can help you develop the vacation of your dreams.

Just outstanding support during the planning and execution of the vacation made all the difference. During the vacation they provided both phone and email support for any questions or request for information. Talk about worry-free when visiting a foreign country for the first time: it was delivered. What an awesome experience and great service everywhere we visited.

Highest recommendation for services and just a great part of the world to explore and experience. Thanks again for making this such a memorable trip."

Dense and dark, with full-body richness that few other grapes can mimic, the Argentine Malbec varietal has become all the rage in the United States, and is increasing in popularity among other countries as well. 94% of restaurants in the top ten wine markets in the US feature Malbec on their wine lists, according to a 2010 survey on Wine Spectator magazine.

Enjoy an exclusive wine tasting experience as you take in the taste of first-class Argentine wines, and visit some of the most prestigious wineries in Mendoza. Located at the foothills of the Andes mountain range, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, the vineyards in Mendoza are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world; with the average site located anywhere between 2000 and 3600 feet (600 to 1100 meters) above sea level This allows winemakers to plant at exactly the right altitude for each grape variety to ripen perfectly. Argentina is the fifth wine producer in the world, and with over a thousand active wineries accounting for more than 70% of Argentina’s wine production, Mendoza is considered the heart of the Argentine winemaking industry.

Guided by a local oenologist (wine expert), you’ll enjoy touring the facilities of three wineries, while getting a close-up look at the process of wine-making, and of course tasting their wines.
