Northwest Argentina and Eclipse

Argentinian Wine and Eclipse

Carmel Hendry, Product Manager (The Americas), says: “I love the northwest region of Argentina, with its mountains of reds, yellows, oranges and greens, and the expanse of fertile farmland next to the imposing Andes.

an astronomer

This trip gives wine-lovers the opportunity to not only experience the solar eclipse, but to taste the local specialty in two different wine-producing areas, as well as exploring the beauty of Argentina’s northwest region”.

Arabian Sands and Eclipse Jonny May, Product Manager (Middle East), says: “Imagine spending the night in the desert, sleeping under the most incredible starlit sky and then waking up and seeing a solar ecilpse whilst having your morning coffee.
