7 Perfect Days in Argentina Wine Country – A Condé Nast Traveler Iconic Itinerary

You could fly into Mendoza, rent a car, and strike out for the nearest winery. But we tried that, and it led to missed appointments and hours lost on un-marked roads. This time, we called expert planner Vanessa Guibert Heitner, of Limitless Argentina. Heitner lives in her native Buenos Aires with a BlackBerry full of the country’s top-notch guides, winemakers, and sommeliers. We assembled an itinerary for vino novices and aficionados alike, showcasing producers large and small, old and new, foreign-owned and local, all with one thing in common: damn fine wine. Argentinian wines are ro- bust and bold, highlighted with fruit flavors. They pair perfectly with the country’s beefy cuisine and the Italian fare loved by second and third-generation immigrants. Every winery tour we recommend is private, chauffeured, and includes a tasting. You can enjoy these regions at any time, but Heitner particularly loves early March through late April, after the crowded Grape Harvest Festival but before the colors fade, and October through early December for the vernal bloom.

How to Book: Contact Vanessa Guibert Heitner of Limitless Argentina (202-536-5812; vanessa@limitlessargentina.com). You can buy this trip as is or customize it.
