MENDOZA´S WINE REGIONS

Mendoza is the nucleus of the Argentine wine industry. Although there are notable wine producing areas like Salta in the North and Patagonian Neuquen in the South, Mendoza province is the viticulture powerhouse with by far the biggest output and the longest history.  There are an estimated 1500 wineries surrounding Mendoza City and their origins go right back to the beginning in 1561 when the city was founded by the Spaniards.  Each region has its own unique ecology and terroir.
