Wine Routes — Latin America

When to go

November to March, when the southern summer opens Patagonia's trails and long, luminous days lengthen every horizon. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

The experiences

A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:

  • A private tasting among the Malbec vines of Mendoza, the Andes rising behind the rows.
  • A long, leisurely asado paired with the estate's finest reserves at a table set for you alone.
  • An intimate tango evening in Buenos Aires, guided by a host who knows the city after dark.
  • A morning walk through Buenos Aires' grand avenues and hidden cafes with a private guide.

A sense of the rhythm

This is travel measured in glasses raised and long lunches that drift into afternoon. Days in wine country are gentle and sun-warmed, evenings in the capital alive with music and conversation. You move at the pace of pleasure, never the clock.

How to do it well

The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:

  • Reserve estate lunches rather than tastings alone; the meal is where the region reveals itself.
  • Keep afternoons light, as Mendoza rewards those who linger over a single long table.
  • Ask your advisor to secure a late tango reservation, when the city truly comes alive.
  • Travel between vineyard and capital by private arrangement to preserve the day's easy rhythm.

What only your advisor can open

The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.

Who it's for

Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.

Estimated investment

From US$11,500 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.

Designed entirely around you

Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

Common Questions

Questions, answered.

Mendoza offers you vineyard estates, mountain light and the unhurried ritual of the table. Buenos Aires answers with grand architecture, tango and the finest parrillas in the city. The most rewarding journeys pair a few days among the vines with the elegant energy of the capital.

Book the estate lunches. Our advisors' counsel is to reserve lunches rather than tastings alone, because the meal is where the region reveals itself. Picture a long, leisurely asado paired with the estate's finest reserves at a table set for you alone, the Andes rising behind the Malbec rows. Keep the afternoon light afterward; Mendoza rewards those who linger over a single long table.

Go late. Ask your advisor to secure a late tango reservation, when the city truly comes alive. On this journey the tango evening is an intimate one, guided by a host who knows Buenos Aires after dark, so you experience the capital's music and conversation at their most vivid rather than as a scheduled show.

Travel between vineyard and capital by private arrangement. Our advisors recommend it to preserve the day's easy rhythm, so the move from sun-warmed wine country to the capital's evenings of music and conversation feels seamless. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you, so the transfer becomes part of the journey's unhurried pace rather than an interruption.

Plan on 6-9 days. That gives you a few days among the vines in Mendoza, with private tastings among the Malbec rows and estate lunches that drift into afternoon, paired with the elegant energy of Buenos Aires: a morning walk through grand avenues and hidden cafes with a private guide, the finest parrillas and a late tango evening. Afternoons stay light, and you travel between vineyard and capital by private arrangement, moving at the pace of pleasure, never the clock.

As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly US$11,500 per traveler (double occupancy) and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.

November to March is the season for this journey, when the southern summer brings long, luminous days. That light suits the rhythm of Wine Routes: gentle, sun-warmed days in Mendoza's wine country, private tastings with the Andes rising behind the rows and long estate lunches, followed by evenings in Buenos Aires alive with music and tango. Your advisor times the trip to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

On Wine Routes, a Buenos Aires morning is spent walking the city's grand avenues and hidden cafes with a private guide. The walk is arranged privately and shaped to you, showing the capital's grand architecture by daylight before the evening turns to parrillas and music. Later, an intimate tango evening with a host who knows the city after dark completes the picture of Buenos Aires.

A private tasting in Mendoza takes place among the Malbec vines themselves, with the Andes rising behind the rows. On Wine Routes it is arranged privately and shaped to you, set within the gentle, sun-warmed days and mountain light of wine country. Advisors suggest pairing it with an estate lunch rather than tasting alone, since the meal is where the region reveals itself.

Wine Routes moves at the pace of pleasure, never the clock: travel measured in glasses raised and long lunches that drift into afternoon. Days in Mendoza's wine country are gentle and sun-warmed, with afternoons kept light for lingering at a single long table. Evenings in Buenos Aires come alive with music and conversation, and private transfers between vineyard and capital preserve that easy rhythm.

November to March, the southern summer, when the days are long and luminous and the Malbec vines are in full leaf beneath the Andes. It is the season Wine Routes is built around: private tastings among the rows in the morning, estate lunches that drift into the afternoon and late tango evenings in Buenos Aires. Your advisor sets the exact dates around the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

Give Mendoza a few unhurried days within a 6- to 9-day journey that ends in Buenos Aires. On Wine Routes that time among the vines allows private Malbec tastings and long estate lunches without watching the clock; our advisors recommend booking the lunches rather than tastings alone, because the table is where the region reveals itself. The move between wine country and the capital is arranged privately, so the easy rhythm of the trip holds.
