10 wineries in 5 days


Tour Argentina’s harvest season this March

The goal of this trip is bring Argentine Wineries and buyers together. It is open to Importers, Distributors and Select Retailer’s who are looking to source wines from Argentina.

The focus will be on small to medium sized wineries with little or no presence in the North American market and wines that will sell between $7 - $10, with some exceptional wines with ratings up to $15 and beyond.

We will also be working with these wineries to create private labels in the entry collections for large supermarket and monopolies.

Arrive on Saturday to a traditional Argentine Asado (Barbcue) with local winemakers and friends at restaurant in Mendoza.

Monday – Tour of Uco Valley to get an understanding of the terroir, climatology and techniques used in Argentina to produce Malbec and other red wines. This is about a 2 hour ride out of the city into the Andes. We will lunch at a famous restaurant where the winemakers meet and sample wines on the outskirts of the valley.

Tuesday through Saturday - Tour one Mendoza winery during the day and at night have a wine presentation from one Cafayate winery.
