Accessible Andean wine route: Mendoza and the Colchagua Valley

Accessible Andean Wine Route: an exclusive experience between Argentina and Chile

There comes a point when you are no longer simply looking for an accessible destination. You are looking for experiences worth having. Places that surprise you, move you and let you discover the world without constantly having to adapt your plans to the barriers along the way.

Because travelling should be about enjoying yourself, not wondering whether you will be able to get into a hotel, tour a winery or sit down comfortably in a restaurant with views of the vineyards; the accessible Andean Wine Route was created with precisely that philosophy.

It is a private trip that brings together two of the most prestigious wine regions in South America: Mendoza, in Argentina, and the Colchagua Valley, in Chile. A journey where wine is the common thread of an experience that also speaks of gastronomy, landscapes, culture and exclusivity.

In fact, the accessible Andean Wine Route is an excellent option if you are looking for something different, whether as a trip in its own right or as part of a wider journey through Argentina and Chile, with the right planning and the expert support of Travel Xperience, you will be able to discover some of the most spectacular wine landscapes in South America.

Raising a glass in front of the Andes while discovering two of the most prestigious wine regions in the world: this experience may be just what you are looking for.

A wine route where accessibility is part of the experience

For a long time, wheelchair users have had to organise their trips by checking every detail: access to accommodation, the availability of accessible transport or the chance to take part in the planned activities.

On the accessible Andean Wine Route, accessibility is built into the planning from the very start. That way, you can focus on what really matters: enjoying your destination.

What's more, because it is a private experience, the route is shaped around your needs, your preferences and your pace. It is not a group circuit or a rigid programme, but a personalised way of discovering the essence of Argentina and Chile.

Accessible Mendoza: vineyards facing the Andes

The first part of the trip takes place in Mendoza, one of the great international wine capitals.

Here, the vineyards stretch out at the foot of the Andes and create a landscape that is hard to forget. The mountains accompany every tour, every tasting and every meal, becoming a constant presence throughout the experience.

The route lets you discover two of the best-known wine-growing areas in the province: the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo.

In the Uco Valley, the landscape, the altitude and the climate shape wines with an unmistakable personality. Wineries such as Salentein and Andeluna combine architecture, setting and gastronomic offerings designed to be enjoyed without rushing.

The route then continues to Luján de Cuyo, a territory closely tied to Argentine Malbec. There, the visits and tastings help you understand the history of Mendoza wine and the work behind every bottle.

That said, you don't need to be an expert to enjoy the route.

Wine is the common thread, but the real experience lies in gazing at the Andes, discovering new flavours and getting closer to the culture of a region that has made wine tourism a way of life.

Accessible Chile: the Colchagua Valley

After discovering Mendoza, the experience continues in Chile.

The transfer between the two countries is by plane. Once you land, an adapted vehicle will pick you up to continue the trip to the Colchagua Valley with the same comfort and personal attention.

On the other side of the Andes, the landscape changes. Gentle hills covered in vineyards, contemporary architecture and the winemaking tradition create a different atmosphere, though just as special.

In this region you can discover projects such as Viña Montes, Viña VIK or Viu Manent. Each offers a different way of getting to know Chilean wine, combining it with gastronomy, design, art and nature.

At Viña Montes, for example, the experience is completed by the wood-fired cooking of Fuegos de Apalta. VIK, for its part, turns the visit into an encounter between wine, landscape and architecture. Finally, Viu Manent lets you enjoy the setting at a relaxed pace, surrounded by vineyards.

In this way, Argentina and Chile complement each other within a single trip.

Argentine Malbec and Chilean Carmenère tell two different stories, but share the same essence: the relationship between the land, the people and the wine.

The luxury of a trip designed exclusively for you

When we think of a luxury trip, we tend to imagine exclusive hotels, prestigious restaurants or internationally renowned wineries. However, when you travel in a wheelchair, true luxury goes much further.

Luxury is not having to wonder whether you will be able to get into a winery. It is not worrying about transfers. It is knowing that the accommodation and the experiences have been chosen with your comfort in mind.

Because real privilege is not only about sleeping in a five-star hotel. It is about enjoying the trip knowing that everything is ready for you to live the experience naturally, safely and without giving anything up.

That is the essence of the accessible Andean Wine Route: showing that accessibility does not take away from exclusivity, but makes it possible.

• What surprised me most was not just the landscapes or the quality of the wineries, but the peace of mind of travelling without worrying whether I would be able to get into each place. Everything was perfectly organised and I was able to enjoy the experience like any other traveller.
