THE WINE COUNTRY OF ARGENTINA AND CHILE
From the Chilean wine country across the Andes Mountains to Mendoza and on to the Northern seldom visited vineyards of Argentina in the highest valleys of the Andes.

Rea started traveling the world at 2 years old, and never stopped marveling at the exciting possibilities of expanding our horizons. She shares the believe with Mark Twain that traveling dissolves barriers between different cultures. Her tours are designed to give an in-depth feeling and appreciation of the areas visited, taking much care of their ecological and cultural diversity.
