Dinner sizzles over an open flame in the Andean open air. You tuck an alpaca blanket over your lap in the crisp night and raise a glass of Malbec to your lips. Wine is as personal and alive as every individual with you. No malbec you’ve tried compares with this experience in its birthplace. You look up and breathe in the view of the snowy Andean range before you. Tomorrow you’re climbing it, like a gaucho, on horseback.
If you have a taste for world-class wine, good food and vibrant culture, this trip is for you. It’s the end of bud break, marking the growth cycle for the new growing season and a perfect time to get an inside look at the process and experience of Argentina’s finest producers. In Mendoza and Uco Valley, we’ll explore the fruits of this mountainous wine country, meet the people behind Argentina’s top wineries and savor intimate exclusive meals prepared by some of the region’s top chefs. Then we’ll take on the best of Buenos Aires, with guided walks of historic barrios, VIP visits of ornate theaters, intimate tango shows at local haunts and a visit to the studio of iconic muralist Marino Santa María. You’ll never experience wine and travel the same way again. Join us!

The best of Argentine hospitality comes with sleek, art-filled boutique hotels surrounded by Andean peaks, and palatial old world buildings in Buenos Aires’ noblest barrios.
Entre Cielos
MendozaYou’ll love setting up in the vineyards at this dreamy 16-room luxury hotel just outside Mendoza. From your room's art-filled, luxurious interiors, gaze out the wide windows or walk onto your private deck facing the manicured gardens and Andean ranges. Reward your mind and body with a Turkish-style bath, a mile-long loop through the vineyards and olive trees, or a refreshing dip in the pool.

The Vines Resort
Uco ValleyOur Uco Valley hotel is a style unto its own, an extraordinary setting of living and being. Immerse yourself in the delights of Argentine culture, rustic natural beauty and warm-hearted hospitality. Its incredible views stretch across vineyards towards ever-present snow-capped Andean peaks. Revel in the pleasures of making, drinking and sharing wine and food. The Vines features famed chef Francis Mallmann’s cuisine at his onsite restaurant, Siete Fuegos, where traditional cooking meets upscale delicacy.

Four Seasons
Buenos AiresOur Buenos Aires home features European elegance with a uniquely Argentine twist. A combination of early-20th-century mansion and contemporary high-rise, the Four Seasons offers modern comfort with beauty and glamour. Pick the perfect spot for cocktails or steak—or explore their secret garden. This personalized, luxury experience is designed to reflect the hearts of Buenos Aires' stately Recoleta barrio right outside.
