What's this trip about?

    Famed for its steakhouses and Malbec, Argentina is a food lover's dream come true. On this 6-night getaway, get to know two major cities while trying some of the best food and wine in the country! Begin in the elegant capital of Buenos Aires, called the "Paris of South America." Tour all of the city's most famous landmarks and museums on an included tour, ending with a wine tasting. While you're there, taste some of the finest beef on the planet in a parrilla (Argentine steakhouse) and watch the romance unfold before your eyes in a tango. From Buenos Aires, fly to Mendoza at the foot of the Andes Mountains. This province is synonymous with wine and was named one of nine Great Wine Capitals. Visit several wineries in Lujan de Cuyo or Maipu with a guide and learn all about Mendoza's wine (and taste some too). Cap off a delicious vacation with a cooking class at Zuccardi Winery!
