Harvest, Food and Wine Tour 2013: Mendoza and Buenos Aires, Argentina
January 9th, 2013
I am working feverishly to get as much information as I can for everyone interested in experiencing the city of Buenos Aires and the Mendoza wine region with us on our next harvest trip! The tentative (meaning not definite) travel dates are leaving Houston the evening of Saturday the 9th (in March) and returning next Sunday morning on the 17th. I do not yet have pricing, but we are organizing a vacation package that will include flights, transportation, lodging, several of the meals, tours and activities throughout the two or three nights in Buenos Aires and four nights in Mendoza. I am getting really excited since we have come up with many creative activities to make this trip very memorable!! I will keep everyone posted as soon as I know more. If you have any interest, please contact us so that we can get an idea of the level of interest and communicate trip information to you more directly.
Either email Michelle@nicewines.com or call us at 713-744-7444.
