Chile and Argentina, two remarkable but different wine countries | the South America wine tour

Share/like this post:

Argentina and Chile are different. They both make a lot of wine, actually they are two of the biggest wine producers of the world. Argentina is very focused on red wines; Chile is making more and more white wines as the country’s producers discover cool climate regions across the country.

We start our tour in Buenos Aires and continue to Mendoza, the biggest wine region of Argentina. Here most of the famous bodegas are based. The most important grape is malbec, sometimes planted to very high altitudes. We continue our tour across the Andes Mountains to Chile, a spectacular tour by bus that will take the best part of a day but it is worth it.

The border crossing is at 3000 metres altitude.

In Chile we will visit the coastal areas as well as Maipo, close to Santiago de Chile and the beautiful Colchagua Valley, some 200 kilometres south of the capital. The landscape is very different from Mendoza, as you will discover, and the wines also, are different. Both countries have their specific characters.

Come with us and discover the wine countries of Chile and Argentina.
