Mendoza Tours & Holidays
Mendoza Small Group Tours & Tailor-Made Holidays

Indeed, you haven't gone to Mendoza if you haven't tasted its delicious wines. Mendoza's most famous grape is Malbec from Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, but very good Cabernet Sauvignons, Pinot Noirs, Merlots and Syrah are also grown in the area. A few days in a hacienda here, indulging in great food and wine, is an ideal way to inject a bit of extravagance into your trip.
