10 Day Argentina & Uruguay in Style

10 Day Argentina & Uruguay: Historic Cities & Country Vineyards
Cosmopolitan cities, enchanting architecture, sparkling beaches, and fine wine – Buenos Aires and nearby Uruguay offer all the best of Europe with a dash of tango thrown in for good measure. This exciting trip connects Argentina’s dazzling capital to Uruguay’s biggest city and its treasured riverside wine region on a stylish ten-day journey of stunning art and architecture, intoxicating rhythms, delectable wines, and creature comforts.

First, get to know Buenos Aires, “the Paris of South America,” through a fascinating private architecture tour that visits the Argentinian capital’s must-see sites – including the historic Cabildo, the neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral, the eclectic Palacio Barolo, the cutting-edge designs of Puerto Madero, and more – before sampling a selection of delicious Malbecs at a 150-year-old wine cellar. Later, explore the city’s cultural history on a private tour of its treasured museums and galleries, including Museo Evita (dedicated exclusively to the life of Eva Perón), the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo, and Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), home to an impressive collection of 20th-century Latin American art.

After a three-hour ferry voyage across Río de la Plata, you’ll get your first taste of Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, over a three-course dinner at Primuseum, an iconic restaurant/concert hall/museum. Later, explore the battlements and sights of la Ciudad Vieja (“the Old City”) on a private walking tour en route to a delicious dockside lunch in Mercado del Puerto.

Next stop: the Carmelo wine region. With a charming wine lodge as your home base, you’ll have the chance to visit centuries-old Jesuit ruins and take in the sensorial pleasures of the region’s wares on tours of local vineyards before unwinding on the beach or exploring the Narbona Wine Lodge’s grounds on foot, bicycle, or horseback.

The journey concludes back in BA where you’ll experience the magic of tango, Argentina’s most beloved cultural export, during a private dinner and performance at the famous Rojo Tango. Finally, explore two enchanting neighborhoods, trendy San Telmo and historic La Boca, with a private guide before heading home.
