Where: Argentina
February 27, 2008 at 4:05 PM | by | Comment (1)

On Monday we covered a grapey getaway in South Africa. Another great place to go vineyard hopping this time of year is in the mountainous Mendoza province of Argentina, the fifth largest producer of wine in the world.

Postales del Plata offers packages ranging from weekend jaunts to ten-day wine safaris, including bookings at country lodges surrounded by grape-producing fields. In case you're not ready to travel now, return for winter wine tastings and some of the best skiing in the Southern Hemisphere.

Mendoza Wine tours

My name is Eliete, I'm brazilian, recently moved to USA for business. I just wanted to take a moment and share my experience in Mendoza, Argentina. Mendoza is probably the most perfect place to take a closer look at Argentine wines. It is a great city, there are a lot of things to do and the people is friendly and helpful. I done an extensive research on the Mendoza´s official website (www.turismo.mendoza.gov.ar) looking for some helpful information about Mendoza wine country. We also contacted Mendoza Holidays company (www.mendozaholidays.com) in order to organize a special program of wine tasting to help celebrate our anniversary. I was impressed with their follow through after I had contacted them for a price quote, which was extremely fair. They spent hours with me on the phone and via email creating and re-adjusting the plan for my husband and I. They promised a personalized, private, romantic wine tour for our anniversary. The vineyards we visited were very nice and all of the people involved in all our tours were very knowledgeable and pleased to be around. One of the wineries we visited is Bonfanti, a gourmet winery which we belive has one of the most personal and private tour of all of the wineries in Mendoza, as we were guided by a family member of the owner. Although our trip was short, we had unique wine experiences that we definitely would not have otherwise had. Our trip to the mountains was amazing. Although the weather was not to our favor, this will always be a trip that I will hold close to my heart. The High Mountain tour & vineyards which Mendoza Holidays provided us, was one of the most beatiful tours. The magnificence of Andes, combined with the wineyards was an unforgettable experience. I will never forget my trip to Mendoza as it was the most exhilarating trips I have ever had.
