What's this trip about?

    Sip a sauvignon blanc in Chile, then savor a malbec in Argentina - all in one incredible vacation. With guided tours, transfers and comfortable accommodations, you'll have plenty of opportunity to kick up your feet and relax with the perfect glass of wine! Arrive in the capital of Chile and dive headfirst into the country's wine scene in the Casablanca and Colchagua Valleys. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and a chilly breeze year round, Chile produces exceptional cold-climate varietals like sauvignon blanc and pinot noir. Experience Chile's cosmopolitan flair in Santiago, Valparaiso, and Vina del Mar.  From Chile, fly to Mendoza at the heart of the Andes Mountain range in Argentina. Mendoza is one of the main wine-making provinces in Argentina, producing more than 70% of the country's wine. Enjoy two full-day tours in the region before flying to colonial Salta in the northwest. Stroll Salta's old town, see the village of Cachi and spend one night in laidback Cafayate! End your vacation in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires! Watch the fiery passion of a traditional tango erupt before your eyes, feast on steak at a parilla and see the city sites on an included tour. Enjoy one last glass of the good stuff before saying goodbye.
