16 Days Through Argentina: Why Our Culinary & Wine Tour Goes Beyond Mendoza

Most Argentina wine tours visit only Mendoza. Our 16-day escorted journey takes you through Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Mendoza, and Salta, giving you a complete culinary and wine experience that few travelers ever enjoy.

When people search for Argentina wine tours, they usually find trips that spend several days in Mendoza before flying home.

While Mendoza is one of the world’s premier wine regions, Argentina has much more to offer.

Our November 3-19, 2026 escorted tour explores four remarkable destinations, each chosen for its own unique food, wine, history, and scenery.

Buenos Aires

Your journey begins in Argentina’s vibrant capital.

You’ll enjoy:

  • Luxury accommodations at the Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt
  • A world-famous Argentine Tango dinner show
  • Time to explore Recoleta, Puerto Madero, and La Boca
  • The National Museum of Fine Arts
  • Teatro Colón
  • Historic cafés
  • Shopping at Galerías Pacífico

Buenos Aires introduces you to Argentine culture before heading into the country’s famous wine regions.

Bariloche

Often called the Switzerland of South America, Bariloche offers a completely different side of Argentina.

Nestled beside Lake Nahuel Huapi and surrounded by the Andes, Bariloche is known for:

  • Alpine scenery
  • Swiss-inspired architecture
  • Artisan chocolate shops
  • Beautiful lakes
  • Luxury mountain lodging
  • Outstanding local restaurants

This destination provides a relaxing contrast before entering wine country.

Mendoza

No culinary journey through Argentina would be complete without Mendoza.

During your stay you’ll experience:

  • Matervini Winery
  • Salentein Winery
  • Alpha Crux Winery
  • 5 Sentidos Winery
  • Legado Wine Lodge
  • Laur Olive Oil Estate

You’ll also enjoy gourmet lunches, premium wine tastings, and meet the people behind some of Argentina’s finest wines.

Salta & Cafayate

Many American visitors never make it to northwest Argentina.

That is a mistake.

Salta and Cafayate produce some of the country’s most distinctive wines, including exceptional Torrontés.

You’ll also visit:

  • Piattelli Wine Resort
  • Dal Borgo Winery
  • San Pedro de Yacochuya Winery

The drive through Quebrada de las Conchas is considered one of Argentina’s most spectacular scenic routes.

Escorted by Chef Ricardo Fernandez Battini

Throughout the journey, Chef Ricardo Fernandez Battini and his wife Suzanne personally escort the group.

Their knowledge of Argentine cuisine, wine, and culture creates an experience that simply cannot be duplicated with a self-guided vacation.
