Patagonia (optional, 3 days)
- Only have 7–10 days? Do Buenos Aires + Mendoza only, and save the north for next time. It's the highest-reward core.
- Love the wild over the polished? Flip the emphasis: less city, more Salta, Cafayate and the Calchaquí back roads.
- Want it effortless? The distances, winery reservations and routing between regions are exactly the kind of thing a good local operator handles better than a spreadsheet — which is where booking guided tours and tastings in advance pays off.
However you shape it, two weeks across Mendoza and the north is one of the world's great wine journeys — high, beautiful, delicious, and still far less crowded than it deserves to be.
