From the balcony of the winery, the landscape is of vineyards as far as the eye can see. In the background, the snow-covered Cordón del Plata frames the scene. In the air, the intoxicating smell is of an authentic Argentine cut of meat being roasted amidst the grapes. In her hands, the glass is of the best malbec vintage. Oblivious to this tranquility, mountaineers and adventurers travel through the Andes in search of adrenaline. Does the enchanting scenery seem unattainable? Know that this is the reality of those who visit the city - and the province - of Mendoza, Argentina.

Forget the rush of large urban centers; Mendoza invites the visitor to sit back, relax and enjoy the best of the world of wines. And who could say that one day that entire desert would become one of the five largest producers - and consumers - of the drink in the world? Knowing that, of the total production, only 20% is exported would be reason enough to try the drink in loco.

Mendoza has much more to offer than just bottles of wonderful vintages of Malbec and Torrontés. Starting with the opportunity to visit several bodegas (as the wineries are called) and see the entire wine production process up close: from planting to tasting. Along 100km of road, more than 1200 wineries are capable of taking any abstainer seriously.

Wines would not be complete without delicious dishes. And this is one of the main focuses of those looking for Mendoza: gastronomic tourism. Combining quality wines with spectacular meals means a true dinner of the gods - in this case, the god Bacchus. Save a lot of your time for dream lunches and dinners, as they can last more than three hours. Believe me, it will be no sacrifice to stay at the table.

If, after so much abundance, you still have strength, Mendoza is an excellent opportunity to practice adventure sports. The tourism modality also attracts a large number of travelers. The quest is for long trails, ice climbing, thrills with whitewater rafting, paragliding flights and snow adventures. All with the protection of the “stone sentinel”, also called Aconcagua, the highest point in the Americas.

The center is well wooded and the streets are quiet and safe (even at night). Walk along the entire Peatonal Sarmiento and take the opportunity to visit the main squares of the region: Independencia, España, Itália, Chile and San Martín are perfect for a rest during the day, in addition to being a captive meeting point for Mendocinos. For an overview of the city, visit Cerro da Gloria; the view of Mendoza is panoramic and the sunset is a spectacle on its own. To get there, you have to pass - or stroll - through Parque General San Martín, the largest in Latin America.

Are you running out of time and still have a few visits? Try to know a little more about Mendoza in the cultural centers. The Museo Histórico General San Martín tells the story of Argentine independence. To learn more about Mendoza in colonial times, visit the Museo del Area Fundacional and the Museo del Pasado Cuyano. The Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno (located in Plaza Independencia) has exhibitions by several local artists.

Some of the most famous sights are not in the city. Along National Route 7 – almost 200km from the center – are Puente del Inca, Puente Picheuta and Aconcagua. Besides, of course, the road itself being one of the most beautiful postcards of Mendoza. Be sure to set aside a day of your stay to walk around there!

Favorite destination for the overwhelming majority of tourists visiting Mendoza, bodegas - as the wineries are called there - are the big stars of the region. If you're on a trip and can't think of another tour other than this one, you're not alone! Going to Mendoza and not visiting the bodegas is like being in Orlando and not going to Disney! So don't worry if other itineraries don't fit your visit days. Rest assured that there will be no shortage of wineries!

The province of Mendoza is the main wine-growing region in Argentina, where 80% of the wine produced in the country comes from. There are more than 1200 wineries, at least 120 of which are open to visitors. It's more than enough to give a gourmet a dream trip.

Choosing which winery to visit will certainly be one of the most pleasurable and arduous tasks of the trip. The options are many and the travel days are not enough. Each visit has a particular charm that will make it unique, but don't forget a very important tip: all wineries require advance reservations for tours and restaurants. Without a reservation, chances are you won't even be answered at the door.

Going to Mendoza and not dreaming of a chalet at the foot of the Andes, overlooking the vineyards, is almost impossible. And this type of hosting is real! If you dreamed of this scenario and expect to wake up eating grapes from the tree, feel fulfilled. But as every dream has a price, we can say that this one has a very high price.

Plaza Independencia marks the center of the city and all the hotels close to it are very well located. As Mendoza is small, it will be difficult to choose a hotel that is really in a bad area. The city is inviting for walking. The streets are tree-lined and very pleasant to walk. If you need to travel a little longer distances, no problem: taxis are very affordable.

Center or winery? It will depend on what you expect from Mendoza. What we can guarantee is that the city offers excellent accommodation options, and for all budgets. How about staying in both types and enjoying both experiences?
