All Things Wine

The presence of wine is everywhere in Mendoza as it's an integral part of the cultural fabric here.

On our last day in Mendoza, we joined an "Origins of Wine" free walking tour offered by the city. The tour promised to
immerse us in the world of wine and end with a complimentary tasting in one of the cities wineries. Unfortunately, the tour was only offered in Spanish and we quickly realized how inadequate our Duolingo lessons have been. We decided to drop off and go see an art exhibit instead, but not just any art exhibition. We went to see the entries from the National Wine Label Design Contest.

Since 1990, the Mendoza Stock Exchange has held an annual competition to select a wine label especially created for the institution. This year, the Mendoza Stock Exchange celebrated its 80th year of existence, and as a result, many of the label entries reflect this commemoration. It was a wonderful way to wrap up our stay in this city.Read more
