Mendoza has been recognized and awarded for its wines’ quality and its wineries in many countries. It is known as the land of sunshine and good wines.
The first vines in Mendoza were planted when the city was founded, over 500 years ago. Since then, wine-growing has been developed in political, economic, social, and cultural scenarios, making what today is known as the “wine culture”.
Mendoza is an exceptionally good region for growing vines. The extreme climate and the knowledge of previous generations were the key factors to elaborate competitive wines.
Many sunny days and the great thermal amplitude favour the berries' ripeness and their concentration of aromas and color as well. Mendoza is characterized for having deep permeable lands with low organic matter, which are the desirable qualities to elaborate good wines.
Throughout the vines and wineries´ development, people have change the way they used to work the soil, creating new population centers and putting a value on those new lands which are today known as Mendoza city. To distribute water, and still keep the desert, implies a big effort. Without no doubt, the combination of those factors makes Mendoza a perfect desert to elaborate top-quality wines.
“Wine Routes” have been designed both to know perfectly well the province of Mendoza and to enjoy its virtues as well as its wine-growing regions. Undoubtedly, those tours mean something more than just visiting wineries and going to the great National Vintage Festival. They consist of discovering the hidden culture behind the different grape colors which make us go back to ancient times and primitive soils. You can also enjoy the regional cuisine in restaurants, wineries, and next to the vineyards.
Since this province has a low annual rainfall, watering becomes absolutely necessary. It comes downstream from the thaw of the Andes to finally reach the irrigation ditches.
Mendoza is the perfect combination between mountains and vineyards, where you can find cultural activities, restaurants, good wines, and first-class hotels. Mendoza is admired by all those people who come to visit it.
