Patagonia Footprint

The wine scenes in Argentina and Chile are red hot, as quality is on the rise and the range of wines available is seemingly ever-expanding. This guide has been written with the traveler in mind; we have designed a comprehensive region-by-region review of the wines of Argentina and Chile, so no matter where you are, you will know just what to order.For each region, we lay out the primary red and white grape varieties, the flavor profiles each variety typically exhibits, the denominations in which these grapes reach their highest expression, and vintage ratings. Since value is a focus, we highlight the regions where you are most likely to find quality wine at good prices. Rather than seek to tell you what specific bottle of wine to order, we give guidance as to how to approach ordering the most appropriate wine for the region. When appropriate, we have let our opinions be known. Ease of reference and accessibility have led us to employ a bullet-point based format.Please note: As grape varieties can be the same across multiple regions, there is some repetition among regions. This is intentional and meant to provide a more useful guide for travelers. Using our Guide During Your TripQuickly scan recommended wines and choose your next bottle with confidence.
