Chile and Argentina are neighbours. They share a very long border, 5,308 kilometres (3,298 miles), all the way down to Tierra del Fuego.
But the wine industry is quite different on one side and the other as are the culture of the two countries.
Argentina is very much a cousin of Europe, some six million Europeans arrived here in the glory days of the late 19th and early 20th century, mainly from Italy and Spain. Argentina benefitted economically from this immigration, as is often the case (it still is!). Europe was poor and Argentina was rich. This European influence can be seen both from the architecture and the wine culture. Argentinians are a wine drinking people.
Chile, on the other hand, has had much more influence from the United States, although there’s also some European influence. It is today more prosperous and commercially much more outward looking, most of the wine is exported.
The wine tour is a fascinating opportunity to discover these three pairs of cousins, Chile-Argentina, Argentina-Europe, and Chile-USA, while enjoying some of the continent’s best wine and food.
