Malbec capital at the Andes foothills
Mendoza sits at the Andes foothills where Malbec grapes thrive in high-altitude vineyards, creating Argentina's most prestigious wines. The city rebuilt itself after an 1861 earthquake, laying out orderly tree-lined plazas and parkland. Wine-tasting culture dominates, with world-class estates minutes from downtown, and Aconcagua—the Americas' highest peak—looms just beyond.
