Mendoza City Guide

Mendoza is Argentina's wine capital and the gateway to the high Andes, a sunny, irrigated oasis city of tree-lined, acequia-fed streets at the foot of Aconcagua, world-famous for Malbec. Its economy blends viticulture, tourism and services, and for investors it offers Argentine real estate's US-dollar dynamics at low prices, strong wine-tourism demand, and a distinctive caveat: foreign ownership of rural/productive (vineyard) land is capped by national law, so wine-estate buyers must structure carefully.
