This itinerary begins in Chile’s Casablanca Valley, where vineyard landscapes and cool-climate wines set the tone for the days ahead. From here, continue to Santiago, where contemporary city life and historic winemaking traditions intersect against an Andean backdrop.
Crossing into Argentina, the journey continues in Mendoza, one of South America’s most celebrated wine regions. Here, time is spent exploring the Uco Valley, tasting across remarkable terroirs and discovering the region’s broader appeal through its mountain scenery, food and slower rhythms. The journey concludes in Buenos Aires, where neighbourhood culture, tango and a richly expressive dining scene bring the experience to a memorable close.
From coastal vineyards and independent wineries to high-altitude wine country and one of the continent’s great capitals, this itinerary is designed for travellers who want both depth and variety, with each stop contributing something distinct.
2 nights Wine Country | 1 night Santiago | 3 nights Mendoza | 1 night Buenos Aires
Stay: Casablanca Valley
Highlights: Vineyard landscapes, cellar visits, wine-focused experiences
Begin in Chile’s Casablanca Valley, one of the country’s most important cool-climate wine regions. On arrival in Santiago, you are met and transferred to your accommodation in the valley, where the first evening is spent settling into the slower rhythm of wine country. The landscape here is shaped by ocean influence, rolling vineyard-covered hills and conditions particularly suited to expressive white wines and elegant reds.
The following day is dedicated to exploring the valley’s wine culture in more depth, with visits and tastings across some of its best-known estates. Alongside the wines themselves, the experience offers insight into the terroir, techniques and climatic conditions that have made this one of Chile’s most respected wine-producing regions.
Stay: Santiago
Highlights: Independent wineries, Maipo region, arrival in the capital
After breakfast, continue north towards Santiago, with a day that shifts focus towards the Maipo region and a more intimate side of Chilean winemaking. The route introduces a different expression of the country’s wine culture, with time spent exploring smaller-scale producers and tasting premium wines in a setting that feels more personal and less formal.
Later, continue into Santiago and check in for the evening. Framed by the Andes and alive with creative energy, the city offers a striking contrast to the vineyard landscapes that came before, balancing history, modernity and a strong food and wine culture of its own.
Stay: Mendoza wine region
Highlights: Signature wine experience, onward journey to Argentina
Spend the morning discovering Santiago through its contrasts, from historic and civic landmarks to more modern residential and commercial districts. A curated wine experience adds another layer to the day, deepening the journey’s engagement with Chile’s winemaking story before you leave the country.
From here, continue to the airport and fly to Mendoza in Argentina, where a new chapter of the itinerary begins. On arrival, transfer to your accommodation in the Mendoza wine region. The setting changes once again – this time to broad skies, vineyard estates and the dramatic presence of the Andes.
Stay: Mendoza wine region
Highlights: Uco Valley tastings, mountain scenery
The next two days are spent exploring Mendoza and its surrounds in greater depth. One day is devoted to the Uco Valley, where striking scenery and acclaimed vineyards combine to create one of Argentina’s most rewarding wine experiences. Tastings and lunch introduce the character of the region and the diversity of its producers, with the Andes providing a constant visual presence.
Another day opens up the broader possibilities of Mendoza beyond the cellar door. Depending on the shape of the final programme, the experience may lean towards mountain landscapes, food or more active exploration. What remains constant is the sense of space, elevation and regional pride that defines this part of Argentina. These days bring a more expansive, immersive quality to the itinerary, broadening it beyond a straightforward wine circuit.
Stay: Buenos Aires
Highlights: Buenos Aires arrival, tango experience
After a final morning in Mendoza, continue to the airport and fly to Buenos Aires. On arrival, transfer into the city and settle into one of South America’s most compelling capitals — elegant and expressive.
The remainder of the day introduces a different register altogether. Where the previous days have centred on vineyards and landscapes, Buenos Aires brings architecture, neighbourhood culture and the pulse of urban life. In the evening, a dedicated tango experience offers an atmospheric and distinctly local encounter with one of Argentina’s most iconic art forms.
Stay: Buenos Aires
Highlights: Walking exploration of Buenos Aires, neighbourhood character
On your final day, discover more of Buenos Aires on a guided walking exploration through some of its most characterful districts. The city reveals itself through its avenues, cafés, layered European influences and neighbourhood identities, offering a fitting conclusion to a journey defined by place and personality.
Later, transfer privately to the airport for your onward flight.
