Napa Valley, California

The most famous wine region in the USA, if you are drinking a wine from the USA, there's a good chance it's from this region.

Napa has worked on making their region a tourist hotspot for more than just their world renowned wineries. With Hot Air Balloon rides, hiking routes along their rugged mountains, championship golf courses and spa's and hotels to math the class and prestige of the wineries, Napa Valley has put itself as a perfect place to visit to drink wine in a Vineyard.

Argentina has a long and rich tradition of wine making, and its Malbec is widely considered as the best in the world.

While the region hasn't become a shopping/high end luxury resort like Napa Valley has created, Mendoza has a much more traditional culture with its vineyards and tourist experience with some of the best winery architecture in the world.

Mendoza is in the Far East region of Argentina and perfect to tie into a South American holiday, whether that visiting the beautiful Patagonia, or exploring Mayan ruins. Check out our Argentina page below, but with Mendoza being so Far East in Argentina you can also tie in a trip to visiting Chile.
