When most people dream about a wine vacation, they picture Tuscany or Napa. But quietly—and deliciously—Chile and Argentina have become two of the most exciting wine destinations in the world.
Towering Andes Mountains. Family-owned vineyards. Award-winning wineries. Long lunches that stretch into the afternoon. Boutique hotels surrounded by vines. And enough Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay to make even seasoned wine lovers discover something new.
If you’re looking for a wine trip that feels authentic, uncrowded, and wonderfully relaxed, this is it.
Our Chile & Argentina Wine Tour isn’t about rushing from tasting room to tasting room. It’s about slowing down, savoring incredible food, meeting the people behind the wine, and experiencing two remarkable countries through one of the things they do best.
Why Chile and Argentina Are Every Wine Lover’s Dream. Few places in the world offer such dramatic wine country. On one side of the Andes, Chile’s vineyards are cooled by breezes from the Pacific Ocean, producing crisp Sauvignon Blancs, elegant Pinot Noirs, and world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon. Just across the mountains, Argentina’s high-altitude vineyards soak up endless sunshine, creating bold, velvety Malbecs that have become famous around the globe. The landscapes are completely different. The wines are completely different. And experiencing both in one week is what makes this journey so special.
Two Countries. Two Wine Cultures. One Incredible Journey.
Our adventure begins in Santiago, Chile, where we’ll explore two of the country’s most celebrated wine regions. In the cool-climate Casablanca Valley, we’ll enjoy thoughtfully curated tastings paired with gourmet food while learning why this region has become one of Chile’s premier destinations for white wines and Pinot Noir. Then we head into the historic Maipo Valley, considered the birthplace of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Here, centuries-old vineyards, beautiful estates, and fascinating history come together in every glass. After soaking up Chile’s wine culture, we’ll cross the Andes into Mendoza, Argentina—a destination that consistently ranks among the world’s greatest wine regions. This is where Malbec became legendary.
Mendoza Isn’t Just About Wine. Of course, the wineries are spectacular.
We’ll visit iconic estates like Bodega Rolland, Salentein, and the internationally acclaimed Piedra Infinita, where architecture, cuisine, and wine all feel like works of art. One afternoon is dedicated to an unforgettable multi-course wine-pairing lunch overlooking the Andes—a meal you’ll be talking about long after you get home. But Mendoza has a rhythm that’s worth slowing down for. You’ll stay in the charming village of Chacras de Coria, where tree-lined streets, cafés, boutique shops, and neighborhood wine bars invite you to linger. There’s even a day intentionally left open. Not because we couldn’t fill it.
Because we don’t think every minute of vacation should be scheduled. Spend the afternoon by the pool. Rent a bike and pedal between vineyards.Enjoy another tasting.Order a long lunch.Or simply wander. Sometimes the best travel memories happen when nothing is planned. Wine Tastes Better When You Know the Story
One of the things we love most about this itinerary is that it goes beyond simply pouring wine into a glass. You’ll meet the people who grow it. Learn how altitude changes flavor. See how geography shapes every bottle.
Understand why Chilean Carménère tastes nothing like Argentine Malbec—even though they’re separated by only a mountain range. Every tasting becomes a conversation. Every meal tells another story. And by the end of the week, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the craft behind every bottle you open back home.
Small Groups Make a Big Difference.
This isn’t a bus tour with 40 strangers. It’s a thoughtfully curated small-group experience. That means boutique hotels instead of giant resorts. Private transportation instead of crowded coaches. Time to actually connect with the places you’re visiting. And perhaps our favorite part—sharing incredible meals around one table with people who often become lifelong friends. Some of the best conversations happen somewhere between the second glass of wine and dessert.
