Watch The Video For A Flavour of What Incentive in Wine Country Looks Like.

Stunning scenery. Sophisticated city. Incomparable cuisine. Adventurous activities. And a wine province par excellence, producing some of the best wines in the world, majoring on the mighty Malbec. Mendoza: the perfect place to bring your (wine loving) incentive or group for experience they will never forget.

The province of Mendoza now boasts 550 wineries, from small boutiques to large-scale exporters, many of which are included in the recently-created Rutas del Vino, or Wine Routes, open to groups and incentive parties for a tour of their installations and a wine-tasting led by their wine-makers.

Many wine-growing families and entrepreneurs flocked to the Mendoza region with their treasured vines, families whose names now grace the labels on many a bottle.  However, no variety has enjoyed more success than the flagship Malbec, originally a French grape of little distinction which arrived in the area at the beginning of the 20^th century and flourished beyond expectation under the Mendozan sun.  In the early 1980s, the Malbec underwent a revival when the trend for blended table wines turned towards single-grape varietals and the taste for Malbec as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc took off, together with the budding community of wine-enthusiasts.  Twenty plus years later, these grapes have been joined by other new-world favourites such as Syrah, Bonarda, Tempranillo and Viognier as well as the fruity local white Torrontes, winning prestigious international prizes and glowing recommendations from the world’s top wine-writers.  You and your group could and should try them, in the houses and vineyards they were created in, often with the stunning Andes acting as the perfect backdrop.
