Winery tour in the 8th wine capital in the world, Argentina

There are thousands of vineyards in mendoza that let you taste wine if you show genuine interest. It's possible to do a tour by bike, but the weather was really hot in the afternoon so me and my new friend took a bus tour two wineries Vistandes and Cavas de don actcri, as well as one olive oil factory.

I asked a winery guide the difference between Argentina wine and Chilean wine and which one is better. He replied that chile does not has any location listed as a wine capital as Mendoza.

Mendoza is so dry and good for the grapes. The yearly rainfalls is about one week of rain in Buenos Aires.

Comparing with the wineries in Ica, Peru, the wineries in Mendoza are more modern and less generous in providing wines for tasting.
