Setting the Stage in the Capital

Buenos Aires is where Argentina’s wine culture comes alive in urban form. Before heading to the quiet vineyards of Mendoza, spending 72 hours in the capital gives you an essential palate calibration: how Argentines actually drink wine with food, the rise of low-intervention nat-wines, and the theatrical drama of the traditional asado.
