Land of Malbec, at the foot of the Andes, with the snow-capped Aconcagua watching over the horizon. In Mendoza you tour the wineries of Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, glass in hand, among rows of vines that vanish into the mountains. You lunch through seven paired courses, bike between the vines and end up watching the sun drop behind the cordillera. Wine here isn't a drink: it's landscape, culture and a long table that never wants to end.
