MENDOZA, located in mid-west of the Argentine Republic and at the foot of the Andes, is the most important city in the region. Its exceptional climate allows the bests grape ripen, basis of its excellent wines. Mendoza is the centre of Argentina’s wine industry and accounts for approximately 70% of the country’s total production. Nearly all the major wineries are concentrated in this province. Its best grape is the Malbec as the climate and soil in Mendoza are the ideal setting for the full expression of this grape variety.
 
Widely known by its beautiful landscapes, Mendoza enjoys a strategic geographical location and becomes a real link by connecting Chile with the Mercosur countries (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay).
 
After some personal time, set off on your first wine tasting expedition in the valley.
 
You will visit wineries founded by French and Italian immigrants during the 19th century, admiring the traditional processes still in use, learning about the different types of grapes and, last but not least, tasting the exquisite wines that the region offers.
 
Visit and wine-tasting at the following suggested wineries:
 
- Achaval-Ferrer is and will always be a small winery, joyfully committed to the production of limited quantities of the best red wines. Their team shares this passion for making great wines that are a faithful expression of their terroir.

Santiago Achaval and Manuel Ferrer are the Argentinean partners. The Italian partners are Roberto Cipresso, (the winemaker), and Tiziano Siviero.
