Wine festivals in Argentina. Argentinians like to say that Argentina has four climates, almost every landscape imaginable, happy, festive people and, as experts and consumers from across the world can bear witness to, some of the most interesting wines on the planet.
So, if the country has all those things going in its favor; pleasant temperatures, unforgettable landscapes, festivals, and wines, can you really allow yourself to miss out?
Wine tourism in Argentina has achieved world class status. And part of the reason is the vast range of options available across this huge country, with a generous array of choices to suit every palate.
In this article, we share these wine festivals to consider attending in 2025
CUYO
San Juan
At the end of February, in the Province of San Juan, you’ll find several different events held to mark the beginning of the wine festivals and the harvest with each taking a different approach. San Juan is one of Argentina’s winemaking hubs where the bright sun and Zonda winds set the tone for vineyards first planted by Spanish and Italian immigrants, marking the beginning of a prestigious viticultural history.
The main vineyards are located in the Valleys of Tulum (in Albardón, Caucete, San Martín, Angaco, Pocito, Sarmiento and 25 de Mayo), Zonda and Ullum. The wineries that make up the San Juan Wine Trail are scattered around the provincial capital and, to the south of the city, one finds a fertile area that is home to producers of organic and sparkling wines.
Events here include vineyard tours, sunset viewings, tastings and DJ sets.
