Classical Music Through the Vineyards

International Festival in Mendoza 2014

This international wine festival in Mendoza is truly one of the best wine tours in Argentina. At The Grapevine Wine Tours, we know that the ‘classical music through the wine routes’ is one that is interesting, informative and of course mouth-watering.

Classical Music through the Vineyards Mendoza – a once in a lifetime tour

We are often asked why we would recommend this wine tour, and our answer is always the same, this is one of the leading wine tours in Mendoza because it is unique. The tour combines the finest classical music with deluxe wines to fuse two of the most refined hobbies loved all over the world – this is why this is one of the best wine tours in Argentina.

Taking place from the 12-20 April 2014, the wine tour will combine the music of Mendocinian, Argentinean and international performers across various sites.

One of the best wine tours in Argentina returns for its 14^th year

Another reason why this tour is so popular is because of the different places that it allows you to explore. Two of the main wineries Salentein & Clos de Los Siete (Monteviejo, Diamandes) are the finest wineries in the area.

Salentein is a winery that spreads over four provinces, an astonishing 72,000 hectares, even though a lot of the space is used for farming cattle and producing milk. Salentein offers a luxury range of premium wines that are now well known across the globe.

Clos de Los Siete is another winery with a rich history – one that you will have the pleasure of exploring on the tour. The full-bodied wine that they produce is also well recognised internationally.

Without a doubt, this international tour in Mendoza is one of, if not the most unique tour offered on The Grapevine Wine Tours. For more information, please contact us.
