The choice of tours is overwhelming with everything from high-end customised tours to huge groups taking the hop-on hop-off service. The wineries are now more accessible too with many now opening on weekends and offering lunches. The one problem that remains is the fact that all the better wineries require prior booking by telephone or email. This can be a problem for the mobile tourist on a loose agenda and unfamiliar with all the practicalities such as opening hours and distances. Winery Booking is a new service that solves this problem. Simply go online, select your wineries and the website will do the rest. All you have to do is turn up and drink. www.winerybooking.com. 5 Horse Country Charlie O’Malley horses around Mendoza. Photo: Nicolas Solop 6 “Charlie, my horse won’t let me take a selfie!” Taking a group photo of 15 Czech chemists might not seem the most complicated of tasks. But put them all on horseback in an Andean setting and the scenario takes on a comical aspect. It soon becomes apparent that horses don’t understand photo-shoots. They do not have a good eye for light, are reluctant to strike a pose and have no empathy for displaying a rider’s best side. And they Country certainly do not say “cheese”. My haphazard group are struggling just to get their horses to face the same way. They tug the reins and heel the stirrups but to no avail. Several horses offer their hinds instead of their heads and their riders twist around to pose. They appear as if they are mounted backwards. Two mares are attacking the leaves on a low bush and another disgruntled colleague has wandered down to a creek with a distressed tourist on board. And I, the photographer, am also on horseback, juggling five digital cameras and trying to control a stubborn colt. The phrase “herding cats” comes to mind. Eventually the photos are taken. People pose with forced smiles trying to hide their frustration with a stubborn steed. The cameras are handed back to their owners. “Sorry. Could you take it again? My eyes were closed.” “Me too. Or rather my horse’s eyes were closed.” This is the curse of digital. Life was so much simpler when we shot blind in analogue. And horses were not just holiday accessories. It is hard to imagine that our streets once echoed with hooves and not engine revs. Now the horse as a mode of transport has been demoted to a once-a-year pleasure cruise. People who would never think of saddling up back home, get the instant desire to go cowboy when stepping off a plane. And there is no better place than Argentina. This country’s fascination with all things equine is well documented. The lone gaucho on horseback is a national symbol, as is the gallant polo player. Buenos Aires holds two of the finest race tracks in the World and there are abundant opportunities to saddle up all around the country. Mendoza is one such place. Pony trails here vary from two-hour jaunts through vineyards to epic 5-day treks across the mountains to Chile. 7 Horse & Wine Take a ride through the vineyards of Maipu, followed by an exquisite lunch at Finca Agostino winery. The two-hour circuit starts at the stables Rancho Viejo in Lunlunta and meanders through olive groves and fields of grapes, dusty country lanes and the dry riverbed of the Rio Mendoza. Lunch is a 6-course spectacular with food and wine pairings. The excursion starts at 11am and finishes at 5pm. Perfect for beginners and wine lovers. Consult www.troutandwine.com. Horse & Fly Mendoza offers ample fly fishing opportunities in high mountain river creeks in Uco Valley and Uspallata. Some of the best fishing spots can only be reached by foot or truck or better still 4X4 hooves. Riding by horseback along a gushing stream teeming with rainbow trout and enjoying a classic asado in the wilderness is not a bad way to spend a day. Two excellent places to do so are Estancia El Manzanito and Estancia San Pablo. Skill level: Beginner/intermediate. Consult www.troutandwine. com for the different options. Photo: Estancia San Pablo 8 9 10 Photo: Trekking Travel Horse & History There is no more memorable way to arrive in a country than on horseback with your luggage in tow. If you thought the only way to get to Chile was by car, bus or plane, check again. This 5-day excursion follows the footsteps of San Martin and his epic trek over the Andes into Chile. Don a poncho and sleep under the stars. Skill level intermediate. For more information go to the experts www.trekkingtravel.com. Photo: Rancho e Cuero Horse & Luxury Mendoza may be desert but it is also home to lush green valleys teeming with wildlife such as guanacos, trout, foxes, puma and condor. Valle de Carreras is a slice of temperate paradise between Potrerillos lake and Uco Valley and home to some upscale estancias that offer high-end luxury outings on horseback. Rancho e Cuero is a 5000 hectare ranch in a bucolic setting. Perfect for the accomplished rider or discerning cowgirl who does not like to slum it in the mountains. 11 Horse & Glaciar Los Chulengos is a beautifully preserved ranch that was once home to herds of sheep, goats and cows. It is now an upscale lodge where city slickers get to indulge their every gaucho fantasy. Activities here include one-day horseback excursions with asado lunches, fly fishing expeditions, 4X4 adventures through the mountains and an epic 4-day horse trek to a Andean glaciar. For more information go to www.loschulengos.com.ar Photo: Los Chulengos Horse & Gaucho In the Andean foothills, away from the vineyards, you’ll find hardy gauchos managing cattle ranches and farms. Estancia La Alejandra is at the epicentre in Valle Carreras and is an equestrian paradise with rearing stables that hold sturdy criolla horses and elegant European breeds. The 100-year old estancia house offers accommodation and activities such as hiking and riding. You can also indulge your equestrian desires further by taking horse coaching courses with the ranches very own horse whisperer. www.estancialaalejandra.com.ar Photo: Finca la Alejandra Horse Riding Tips * Wear long pants to prevent scarring your ankles * Don’t forget your fanny pack (or bum bag as the and shins for life.

  • The Argentine Grape-Wine Industry at the Crossroads
    AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WINE ECONOMISTS AAWE WORKING PAPER No. 185 Business STRENGTHS AND GOVERNANCE: THE ARGENTINE GRAPE-WINE INDUSTRY AT THE CROSSROADS Aldo Biondolillo and Juan Pedro Brandi Oct 2015 www.wine-economics.org 1 STRENGTHS AND GOVERNANCE: THE ARGENTINE GRAPE-WINE INDUSTRY AT THE CROSSROADS a b ALDO BIONDOLILLO AND JUAN PEDRO BRANDI Abstract Over the last years there has been a debate about the “structural change” in emerging economies and their impact on the understanding of development. New types of structuralisms are discussed using the concept of value chain in certain production sectors that have undergone significant changes. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the debate about the structural change of the Argentine grape-wine growing sector using the dual analysis of “Strengths and Governance”. First of all, we wish to point out that viticultural production is carried out in imperfect markets where prices are the result of an asymmetric negotiation between the purchasing power of a demand that is concentrated in a few firms and an atomized supply that is in the hands of thousands of producers. We analyze the strengths resulting from the interaction between the internal factors characteristic of the production unit and the external forces that operate within a given business organization. We describe the manner in which the supplier is related to the resources and the markets. We combine the above analysis with the governance approach, which refers to the manner in which the relationship among the several actors engaged in grape-wine growing is governed. We also analyze the relationships between firms and institutional mechanisms through which coordination actions are implemented outside the market.

It is not overstated that Argentinean viticulture identifies with Malbec, the vine which long ago was introduced in the country from France and which has marvelously naturalized here. However, the variety Malbec has many different expressions, depending very much on environmental and cultivating conditions and on natural mutations occurred over time. A modern viticulture cannot do without the capability of exactly identifying and differentiating clones of the same variety and from the ability to do that over contingency. This work on clonal selection, conceived and developed by a very polyvalent team, focuses exactly on defining instruments to unequivocally distinguish and select different clones and using these instruments to analyze, classify and select all different clones representing the highest variability of Malbec in Argentina ever sampled.

  • Wine Tourism in Mendoza, Argentina: a Proposal for the Marketing of “Wine Heritage Trails” in the Malbec Landscape
    World Review of Business Research Vol. 6. No. 2. September 2016 Issue. Pp. 80 – 97 Wine Tourism in Mendoza, Argentina: A Proposal for the Marketing of “Wine Heritage Trails” in the Malbec Landscape Emiliano C. Villanueva* and Liliana Girini** In recent times wine tourism has become important in Mendoza, Argentina. Current wine tourism strategies in Mendoza do not incorporate the landscape heritage dimension. The paper argues that new and heritage focus wine tourism strategies should be implemented in order to enrich the understanding of wine culture and promote the development of wine tourism in the Malbec region. In order to achieve so, the paper explores the heritage in the three wine areas of the province of Mendoza, Argentina, and proposes seven specific “Wine Heritage Trails” for the Malbec region. These trails represent distinctive historical assets and landscapes, emphasize a heritage perspective, and articulate a credible argument that reveals to the visitor the complex web of relationships and the meanings that originated them. JEL Codes: M31 and M38 1. Introduction Heritage is understood as a territorial context in which personal property, buildings, and landscapes coexist and are shaped by economic development; this is a well-defined environmental surrounding with multiple historical references, which together offers enormous possibilities for tourism activities as a development mechanism. The wine sector is presented as an integrating element of the historical, industrial, cultural, and landscape heritage for the development of wine tourism (Medina-Albaladejo et al., 2013). At present, in the Malbec region there has been progress in the supply of new goods and services that seek to enrich the experience of wine through tourist programs.
