Mendoza is a very cultural city. The incredible agricultural output that it has including top wine has made it a gastronomic heaven and its past intertwines with this highlight to paint a romantic picture of a city created around the very idea of agriculture, just as the original Huarpe Indians had done years before the Spaniards ever discovered it.

So well known for its amazing wine, the city is alive with everything to do with the passionite beverage. In February there is an annual and grand festival in celebration of the grape harvest but to learn about this all year round is also definitely possible. All one has to do is visit the Museo Nacional del Vino that showcases how the wine is made and explains the history and specialties of the region.

Aside from just history, wine lover or not, many enjoy taking vineyard tours and of course, for those that love it, a tasting is the true highlight! A tour company like Mendoza Holidays, Amazing Mendoza Tours or Ampora Wine Tours can help you plan such an excursion.

But it is not just wine that the area focuses on culturally. Art lovers can visit the Casa de Fader Art Museum with works from the artist Fernando Fader. While history buffs can check out the Museo Cornelio Moyano for natural history.
