Project Argentina: 
PRE TOUR Mendoza Wineries Extension

Day 1 (24 September 2024) - Arrive into Buenos Aires

Arrive in Buenos Aires, for an overnight stay. This is a big, cosmopolitan capital city. Its centre is the Plaza de Mayo, lined with stately 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the iconic, balconied presidential palace. Home of great poets, painters, musicians, and dancers, and with a rich history that is very much alive in the urban memory, the rhythm of culture is restless in a metropolis that is always open to new trends.
 

Day 2 - Fly to Mendoza and join a half day tour visiting two Maipú wineries

Today fly to Mendoza, your base for the next two nights. This afternoon visit two Maipú Wineries with wine tasting. The vineyards are famous in the state of Maipú as their agro-ecological conditions are excellent. This area has been chosen as the headquarters for dozens of wineries that produce some of the finest Argentinian wines. Some of the wineries include brands such as Trapiche, Sin Fin, Trivento, Zuccardi, Domiciano and Antigal.
 

Day 3 - Full day Uco Valley wineries tour including lunch and wine tasting

Today we visit the Uco Valley, which covers the extensive area of San Carlos, Tunuyán and Tupungato. The altitude of the cultivated lands ranges between 900 and 1,200 metres and the area has wide temperature ranges between day and night, allowing the production of excellent wines suitable for lengthy ageing. The most widespread varieties are Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot and there are also excellent white varieties, including the Torrontés Riojano, Semillon, Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The day includes wine tasting and lunch and visits to a selection of wineries from the following La Azul, Domaine Bousquet, Andeluna, Salentein, Sophenia. Return to Mendoza for overnight.
 

Day 4 (27th September 2024) - Return flight to Buenos Aires
