Argentine wine and gastronomy sector development

Overview

The Argentine wine and gastronomy sectors are expanding through regional identity initiatives and professional collaboration. In Northwest Argentina, provinces like Jujuy are establishing a viticultural presence by leveraging high-altitude vineyards in areas such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Complementary culinary events, including ‘After Wine’ programs in Catamarca and La Rioja, are pairing boutique tastings with high-end gastronomy to promote local wine culture.

Efforts have since expanded toward broader regional integration and professional development. In Mendoza, new programs such as ‘Sintonizando el futuro de la gastronomía y la hospitalidad’ aim to foster dialogue between industry leaders and professionals regarding management and hospitality challenges. Collaborative dining initiatives like the ‘La Mesa Compartida’ series have also worked to bridge different territories, such as Patagonia and the Calchaquí Valleys.

In the Patagonia region, the viticultural sector continues to gain prominence within the tourism industry. In Villa La Angostura, a regional gastronomy and wine fair is scheduled at the Arrayanes Convention and Congress Center. Designed as an ‘after ski’ attraction, the event will showcase nine wineries from the Neuquén province, including Sudoeste, Mabellini, Malma, Schroeder, Patritti, Estancia Chimehuín, Aicardi, Fincas del Limay, and Cutral Co. Local chefs will pair these wines with regional ingredients such as lamb, trout, and mushrooms to highlight the growing importance of Neuquén’s viticulture.

Expansion of these events continues with the sixth 2026 edition of the Chachingo Wine Fair, scheduled for September 11 in Bariloche at the Sheraton Hotel. Created by Alejandro Vigil, María Sance, and Fernando Gabrielli, this itinerant fair aims to showcase Argentina’s diverse production by featuring 40 wineries from across the country, alongside a collaborative gastronomic experience designed by the Casa Vigil team and the hotel.
