ABOUT MENDOZA

Stretching nearly 1,068,296 square miles from North to South, Argentina has vineyards planted across a wide spectrum of environments: from high altitude valleys with intensely sunny days, to the low altitude wind-swept lands of Patagonia.

However, it’s Mendoza Province, located in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, that is the primary wine region of Argentina that produces 80% of the country’s wine. Mendoza is home to over 1,000 wineries and includes over 381,074 acres of planted vineyards.
