Investment Boom in Argentina Real Estate

You may already know that Argentina is now more than five years out from an economic crisis.  Formerly an expensive country to visit or invest in, suddenly Argentina became one of the best bargains in the world, resulting in a boom in real estate and tourism.  What you may not know is that excellent properties are still available for purchase at reasonable prices.  Compared to any other major wine-growing region in the world, there is still stunning value to be had in one of the world’s up and coming wine regions, hailed as the new “Napa Valley,” – Mendoza, Argentina, where prime real estate is a bargain, and so are the costs associated with making great wine.

The Malbec Diaries – Buying a Vineyard in Argentina

To whet your palate, you’ll join author Lee Asbell and her husband Jim on their decadent wine-lover’s vacation in Chile and Argentina.  As ever, food and wine go hand in hand, and so will you take in the leisurely pleasures of the Argentine table and discover why Mendoza should be on every gourmet traveler’s wish list.  Their story is revealed with a dry, yet lusty bouquet as these experienced world travelers explore what’s making this formerly sleepy corner of Latin America blossom into a world-class wine capital.  

‘The Argentine province of Mendoza is blessed with outstanding growing conditions not just for vinifera (wine grapes) but for a broad spectrum of agricultural products. Natural pests and predators are minimal. Grapes have been growing here since the 1500’s. Even before Spanish colonial settlements, the Incas figured out how to channel the snowmelt off the Andes to make the high desert climate produce a wealth of foodstuffs. From olives and walnuts to excellent fruit of all types, Mendoza is an agricultural powerhouse. But wine is the driving force behind major economic development in this area, and large amounts of foreign investment are changing this once rural corner of Latin America into a wine capital. It was time to see if the hype about Mendoza being “the next Napa Valley” was true or not.’

Finding the Dream Vineyard Property

You’ll revisit Mendoza three months later with Lee and Jim, armed with careful research and ready to make a decision.  They survey the territory and point out where the challenges lie, forging through the entrenched vines of bureaucracy as they select and purchase an old apple orchard and convert it into a gorgeous Malbec vineyard.  The wise and witty saga of this pair of middle-aged wine geeks who want to change their lives will make you laugh, but it will also provide you with the inside knowledge and links to the resources that made this venture possible. They’ve explored every cellar in order to ensure that your vintage fantasy can become a chateau reality.
