Delve into Argentina’s world-class gastronomy
Your journey through Argentina’s diverse food and wine regions offers direct connections with passionate producers, family-run bodegas and chefs. You’ll sip yerba mate in traditional cafés and eat at neighbourhood parrillas, where grilled meat is central to Argentine culture. We suggest learning the art of making empanadas, including the precise folding techniques that give them their perfect finish.
Meeting winemakers and visiting intimate tasting rooms is one of our favourite experiences on a food and wine tour in Argentina. You can stroll through vineyards on steep mountain slopes, tour wineries by bike or on horseback, and learn about harvests that follow lunar cycles. You’ll also savour meals at vineyard restaurants where each menu is designed around the estate’s wines.
Although Mendoza produces around 60 percent of the wine in Argentina, vineyards flourish throughout the country – from the northern heights of Cafayate to the diverse terroirs of San Juan, La Rioja, Catamarca and the southern Rio Negro province.
The remote Calchaqui valleys are home to Cafayate and some of the world’s highest vineyards. Buenos Aires is a sensational place to begin or end any food and wine trip in Latin America, with the traditional parrillas, historic cafés, and creative restaurants and wine bars.
Contact our team to plan your personalised food and wine tour to Argentina. We’ll introduce you to the beauty of its regions through traditional experiences, expert guides and stays in properties with real character.

Where to go

Buenos Aires
Blending European elegance with vibrant modern culture, the city’s classical architecture and grand boulevards are matched by dynamic neighbourhoods with a host of restaurants, bars and cafes.

Mendoza
Bathed in almost year-round sunshine, Mendoza accounts for most of the country's wine production. The Andes create a dramatic skyline and influence the high-altitude growing conditions that give Mendoza wines their distinctive character.

Calchaqui
Calchaqui Valley offers scenery on a truly epic scale – arid canyons and rugged mountains rise up around quietly elegant colonial towns. The laidback wine region of Cafayate is found here, at high altitude.

When to visit
Argentina’s seasons are opposite to the Northern Hemisphere. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) are the best times to visit Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Cafayate, with mild weather and ideal conditions for wine tasting and exploring. Winter is cooler and quieter, perfect for enjoying the wine regions without the crowds.
