Mendoza Wine & Andes Family Tour 8 Days
Imagine waking up among the vineyards, enjoying breakfast in the mountain air and spending the day at a comfortable pace, surrounded by open landscapes, gardens and the foothills of the Andes.
The Wine & Andes Family Journey is an eight-day private experience combining Buenos Aires, Mendoza’s celebrated wine country and the natural beauty of western Argentina. It is designed for families who want to discover Argentina without rushing from one destination to another.
The journey begins in Buenos Aires, allowing time for a city orientation and any confirmed immigration-related appointments that may apply to your visit. You then fly to Mendoza for several days in a boutique vineyard lodge in the Uco Valley or Luján de Cuyo, two of the region’s best-known wine-producing areas.
While adults enjoy guided tastings and learn about Mendoza’s winemaking traditions, children can enjoy the gardens, swimming pool, outdoor activities and non-alcoholic grape-based alternatives where available. A scenic outing towards the Andes, a family asado and an optional introduction to vineyard operations add variety to the stay.
For families exploring Argentina in connection with a citizenship-by-investment process, the journey can also provide an opportunity to experience the country beyond Buenos Aires and consider what everyday life in Argentina might look like in the future.
Day-by-day overview
- Days 1–2: Buenos Aires – biometric collection, city orientation, family dinner.
- Days 3–6: Mendoza – stay at a boutique vineyard lodge (Uco Valley or Luján de Cuyo). Private tastings with non-alcoholic options, gentle bike rides, family asado, short Andes viewpoint or hot-springs visit. Optional meeting with a vineyard owner.

Days 3–7: Mendoza– Wine Country & Andean Scenery
Fly to Mendoza and settle into a boutique vineyard lodge in the Uco Valley or Luján de Cuyo, depending on your preferences, budget and the availability of suitable family accommodation.

Beyond the wine, Mendoza offers scenic excursions into the Andes mountains, where snow-capped peaks, winding valleys, and natural hot springs provide an unforgettable backdrop. This unique combination of luxury wine culture and outdoor adventure makes Mendoza a highlight of any Argentine journey.
