The tone for our amazing Argentina adventure was set when we visited our first winery, Bodega Familia Cassone, and had a tasting experience with winemaker and owner Federico Cassone that we will remember forever.

During our time with Federico, we had the opportunity to walk their vineyards, and as we learned more about the winery we realized that the commitment to family traditions and to terroir are the pillars of Familia Cassone’s success.

When we embarked on our Mendoza adventure we knew that fun times were ahead but nothing could have prepared us for the awe inspiring beauty we were about to experience. The first clue of what was to come was the aerial view of the Andes Mountains as we made our connection from Chile to Argentina. Watching clouds rest on top of mountains was something out of a fairytale. 

As you know, the primary purpose of the trip was to experience Mendoza’s Wine Country and to better understand why it has become one of the Wine Capitals of the World.
