My fiance and I are thinking about honeymooning in Argentina. Originally, we had planned on going to Italy....but since our wedding is in January, we decided against it. Our main focus is touring the wine regions and eating great food....so we figured the southern hemisphere was a better choice for the wineries being open and better weather. We will not be doing any hunting on this trip.

We do not want to stay in a major city, or fall for the normal tourist traps. Any advice you guys can offer up regarding what region you think would be best to focus on would be much appreciated. We are planning to spend around 10 days in country.

Don't do it! And I ain't talking about Argentina.

Jaja!

Gato cracks me up.

It's a difficult question. Obviously, Mendoza is the best known area for wine in Argentina, but other regions produce excellent wine (Salta, Patagonia, areas in Córdoba, etc.).

Mendoza probably fits the bill for what you want. The weather shouldn't be too bad that time because of the location. Other areas can be damn hot that time of year.

I wouldn't get married either.

I would go to San Carlos Barliroche and enjoy the mountains if I was you.

I would get married if I was over 35 and made over $100,000 a year.

Go kill as much shit as you can, and buy as many guns as you can.

Then get married. Pretty soon kids will show up, and then she won't be working and you'll wonder how you are going to afford to do anything.

BWW,

I agree with San Carlos Bariloche. Although, I haven't been lucky enough to go there. My friends and my girlfriend all tell me how nice it is there. You might want to pack fly gear if you go.

I've spent 2 out of the last ten months in Argentina (I didn't fire a shot the last 4 weeks...), but mostly in the Córdoba province. I returned last week after spending some time in the sierras around Villa Grl. Belgrano.

I'm 39, never married, but keep going there to see this girl. I once thought a girl in Fort Worth was too far away to date.

Eland, congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.

I agree on Bariloche but would not hesitate to spend at least a few days in BA. A beautiful city with lots of history and wonderful architecture.
