Argentina: Food, Falls, and Wine

Introduction

Journey to three of Argentina's most compelling sensory landscapes: the fire-driven food culture of Buenos Aires, where the asado tradition and modern dining scene sit side by side in one of the great food cities of the Americas; the jungle and spectacle of Iguazu, where 275 waterfalls collapse into the Devil's Throat with a force that is felt as much as heard, experienced with private access and depth well beyond the ordinary; and five nights in Mendoza's Uco Valley, one of the world's most celebrated wine regions, where vineyards stretch to the foot of the Andes and Francis Mallmann's open fires have been burning at Siete Fuegos long enough to become a destination in their own right.

All of our journeys can be completely personalized and curated with our commitment to sustainable tourism.

Journey Overview

Discover Argentina through three of its most distinct landscapes, connecting food culture, natural spectacle, and wine country through genuine private access.

Buenos Aires is experienced across a full array of its cultural legacies. The asado tradition runs deep here, from private asador sessions that reveal the philosophy behind the fire to the market culture of San Telmo, where the city's relationship with its ingredients plays out every morning. The restaurant scene has developed genuine international standing, and the architectural and performing arts heritage anchored by the Teatro Colon gives the food chapter a cultural depth that sets Buenos Aires apart from any other food capital in the Americas.

From Buenos Aires, continue to Iguazu, where the falls and the surrounding Atlantic Rainforest are explored well beyond the standard experience. A private guide and vehicle are dedicated to each guest for the duration of the stay, and the access points available here, the Devil's Throat before the park opens and the Triple Frontier crossing by private motorboat into Paraguay to reach Salto Monday, one of the region's great and seldom visited waterfalls, make this one of the most distinctive Iguazu experiences available. The culinary dimension draws directly from the jungle, its edible pantry, its kitchen traditions, and experiences that connect the forest floor to the table.

At The Vines Resort and Spa in Mendoza's Uco Valley, days move between the valley's most serious producers, including a Michelin-starred lunch at Zuccardi, the four-time World's Best Vineyard, private blending sessions with master winemaker Pablo Martorell and sommelier Mariana Onofri, and evenings at Siete Fuegos, where Mallmann's seven fire techniques and the Uco Valley's finest wines come together against 1,500 acres of vineyards and the snow-capped Andes.

Each chapter is distinct in character but connected in purpose. The itinerary is designed to move at a pace that allows each destination to be fully experienced and appreciated.

Highlights

Reserve an evening at Tegui, a 12-seat Palermo restaurant where the tasting menu is built entirely on Argentine ingredients and changes with what the country offers at its best.

Spend a morning at the Mercado de San Telmo with a local food specialist, moving through producers, tasting along the way, and discovering how one of the world's great food cities sources and feeds itself.

Learn the culinary art of Argentine asado with a private asador who explains the cuts, the wood, the timing, and the cultural significance of a tradition central to Argentine identity.

Attend a private after-hours session at Teatro Colon, one of the great opera houses in the world, guided through its architecture, history, and its performing traditions.

Cross into Paraguay by private motorboat, navigating the confluence of three countries to reach Salto Monday, the region's second-largest waterfall.

Step onto the Devil's Throat walkway before the park opens, with 30 uninterrupted minutes at the falls and no other visitors present.

Spend a full day at Zuccardi Valle de Uco, four-time World's Best Vineyard, with a private cellar session followed by a nine-course Michelin-starred lunch at Piedra Infinita Cocina, paired with wines carrying 100-point scores.

Meet with master winemaker Pablo Martorell and sommelier Mariana Onofri to blend a personal Malbec from the parcels across the estate's 900 acres.

Experience the Siete Fuegos Patio de Fuegos, Mallmann's open-air communal kitchen table where every fire technique is demonstrated in full view, each course paired to Uco Valley wines chosen for the evening.

Close the journey at El Baqueano in Buenos Aires, where Chef Fernando Rivarola's tasting menu is built on native Argentine ingredients sourced from every region of the country.
