GASTRONOMY
Luckily for visitors, the climate and terroir conditions close to Mendoza make it fabulous for not only grapes but also olives. These are two elements integral to nearly every meal, with antipasti-style appetizers, and olive oil gracing many menus. One of the most notable restaurants near Mendoza is 1884, where Argentine chef Francis Mallman (of Chef’s Table fame) cooks his rustic Argentine food with a nod to both gaucho (Argentine cowboy) and European influences that have made it what it is today.
CULTURE
The region that’s now called El Calafate was first inhabited by an indigenous group known as the Tehuelche people. After horses were introduced to this community, Argentinian gaucho culture became more widespread. Soon, there were several estancias in the area which continue to operate today. If you want an immersive cultural experience, book an overnight stay in one of these estancias to see what life is like for the Argentine gaucho.

From hiking to horseback riding, white water rafting to parasailing over the Andes or climbing the nearby mountains- Mendoza makes for the perfect home base whether you’re looking for an adventure-packed itinerary or if you want to weave in an adventure or two amongst the days of sipping wine and basking in the sun.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Wine Tasting The first and foremost reason most travelers find themselves in Mendoza - the incredible wine scene. Mendoza is most famous for its world-renowned Malbec wines, as it is an excellent place to grow grapes for wine, and a great majority of all Argentinian wine comes from this region. It is a pristine region ideal for wine due to its high elevation, dry climate, and mineral-rich soil. As you embark on tours and tastings, you’ll be swept away by the glorious panoramic views of the Andes Mountains.
WHERE TO EAT
Siete Fuegos From world-renowned chef Francis Mallmann, Siete Fuegos is a beef-focused restaurant set within the Vines Resort and Spa in Mendoza’s stunning Uco Valley wine country. Named after a series of different open-flame cooking techniques (the seven fires), the restaurant serves local, seasonal ingredients such as slow-grilled ribeye steak, salt-encrusted baked salmon, and grilled seasonal fruits. With a terrace dining room encompassing both indoor and outdoor tables, overlooking the vineyards and distant mountains, it is a truly romantic and special spot at which to dine. Since the restaurant is set on a private vineyard, there is a wide selection of boutique wines to enjoy too.
WHERE TO STAY
Entre Cielos For oenophiles looking to sip where they stay, Entre Cielos is a hotel and vineyard perfect for a getaway to Argentina’s famed wine country. The rooms are styled in full 5-star décor, and have elegant contemporary design with terraces. Local specialties can be enjoyed at the scenic restaurant. Wine tastings can be arranged in the living room. Entre Cielos brings the first traditional Turkish hammam to Latin America.
