The idea behind the journey
Argentina is not a country you understand from a postcard. You understand it at the table.
This journey was built around that idea.
Not just sightseeing. Not just wine tasting. Not just another group tour.
This is Argentina through its food, wine, landscapes, restaurants, vineyards, hotels, and people.
Over 12 nights, we will travel from Buenos Aires to the northwest of Argentina, through Salta, Cafayate, and Molinos, before finishing in Mendoza, Argentina’s most famous wine region.
Expect beautiful hotels, carefully chosen restaurants, exceptional tables including Michelin-starred and Michelin-recognized restaurants where confirmed, vineyard access, private winery lunches, regional cooking, open-fire meals, and some of the most dramatic wine landscapes in South America.
The wine will matter, of course. But the wine is part of a bigger story: the smoke from the grill, the dust on the road, the people behind the bottle, the long lunches, and the places that make Argentina unforgettable.
Over empanadas in Salta, still hot from the oven. Over a glass of Torrontés in Cafayate, bright and floral against the dry air of the valley. Over Malbec in Mendoza, poured with lunch while the Andes sit quietly in the distance. Over asado in Buenos Aires, where the smoke, the meat, the wine, and the conversation all seem to arrive at their own pace.
Two ways of knowing Argentina
This journey has been put together by Bonner Private Wines and Epicureo Experience, combining long-standing wine relationships with deep local expertise in Argentine food, travel, and entertaining.
For more than 15 years, the team behind Epicureo Experience has created gourmet experiences across Argentina. Their expertise reaches far beyond reservations: the chefs, restaurants, hotels, vineyards, guides, local producers, and details that make a trip feel personal rather than packaged.
Bonner Private Wines brings another layer: years of boots on the ground in Argentina, more than a decade spent meeting winemakers and visiting vineyards, and a long history of sharing the country’s wines and stories with this community.
Together, we are building a journey that goes beyond the usual stops. You will eat in exceptional restaurants. You will visit wineries through the people behind the bottles. And you will travel through the Argentina we believe is best understood slowly: at the table, on the road, and in conversation.
This is not simply a collection of reservations. It is a considered introduction to Argentina, shaped by people who know the country from different sides of the table.
Why this journey is different
A few nights in Buenos Aires. Maybe a stop in Mendoza. Maybe a tango show. Maybe a steak dinner.
This trip connects the dots. You will experience Buenos Aires, the northwest, and Mendoza in one carefully built journey, seeing the country through its strongest language: food and wine.
Yes, there will be beautiful hotels. Yes, there will be serious restaurants. But the heart of the trip is not formality.
It is the table.
Long lunches, asado, empanadas, regional cooking, exceptional restaurants, and meals that stretch naturally into the afternoon.
Private tastings, winery lunches, Malbec in Mendoza, Torrontés in Cafayate, and time with the people behind the bottle.
Buenos Aires, Salta, Cafayate, Molinos, Mendoza, and landscapes most travelers never reach.
Access, not just tastings
Wine is one of the reasons to come to Argentina. But the best wine experiences are rarely just tastings.
They are lunches that stretch into the afternoon. They are conversations with the people behind the bottle. They are vineyard walks, cellar visits, mountain views, and glasses poured in the place where the wine was made.
This journey is being designed around that kind of access.
We plan to visit leading wineries in Cafayate and Mendoza, with private tastings, winery meals, and experiences that go beyond the standard tasting-room visit.
We are also working to include a special visit to Gualfín: a rare chance to visit a remote vineyard landscape connected to wines and stories this community has come to know over the years.
It is not just what is in the glass. It is the road, the weather, the people, and the work behind it.
Five places · one journey
From the capital to the northwest and back down to Mendoza, the country unfolds one valley at a time.
Argentina’s elegant and restless capital. Grand avenues, old cafés, bookstores, steak houses, tango halls, and late dinners.
This is where the journey begins: food, rhythm, music, architecture, and the appetite for long nights. There is that particular Buenos Aires feeling that dinner is not the end of the day. It is when the day finally starts to get interesting.
Among the tables and evenings we are working to confirm: Fogón Asado, the city’s celebrated closed-door asado experience, and Secreto Tango Society, an intimate tango evening — both consistently ranked among the best experiences in Buenos Aires.
We fly north and the pace slows. The food changes. The landscape opens.
Salta feels older, quieter, and more Andean. This is the land of empanadas, tamales, humitas, mountain roads, colonial streets, and wines that taste like they come from somewhere specific.
Dry air, bright sun, red rock, desert valleys, and vineyards surrounded by mountains.
Cafayate is known for Torrontés, Argentina’s great aromatic white grape, but it also produces reds with freshness, structure, and a powerful sense of place. The kind of place where a glass makes more sense after you have seen the road and felt the sun.
We are also working to confirm a table at Bad Brothers Wine Experience, Cafayate’s most celebrated kitchen and wine bar.
Remote valleys, small towns, dramatic roads, and a side of Argentina most visitors miss.
From here, we are working to include a visit to Gualfín, one of the most meaningful vineyard landscapes connected to the wines and stories we have shared over the years. It is not a standard stop on a wine itinerary. That is the point.
Argentina’s great wine capital. The Andes dominate the horizon. The vineyards are world-class and the restaurant scene is ambitious.
This is the place for Malbec, winery lunches, open-fire cooking, and slow afternoons. A natural place to end the journey.
We return to the capital for a final night and farewell dinner before goodbyes.

Our partner on the ground
For this journey, Bonner Private Wines is partnering with Epicureo Experience, a culinary travel company based in Argentina.
Their specialty is food-led travel: the restaurants, chefs, regional meals, winery lunches, local guides, and behind-the-scenes details that make a trip feel personal rather than packaged.
That partnership allows us to build a journey around the best version of Argentina: not just the landmarks, but the tables, kitchens, vineyards, roads, grills, bottles, and people that bring the country to life.
Argentina is a country of appetite. For food. For wine. For music. For landscapes. For conversation. For long meals that become the center of the day.
This journey is built around that spirit.
It is smoke from the grill, Malbec in the glass, and a table that nobody is in a hurry to leave. And above all, it is Argentina at the table.
