Argentina with Deb Van Pelt

A wine trip to Mendoza, Argentina, offers an unforgettable experience for wine lovers and adventure seekers alike. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Mendoza is one of the world's most celebrated wine regions, particularly known for its Malbec. Expect gourmet dining, picturesque vineyards, scenic landscapes - and then a bonus two days in vibrant Buenos Aires.

 

This trip is ideal for anyone who wishes to expand their wine knowledge in a convivial setting. In order to keep this an intimate experience, spaces are limited.

  • wine tastings, tours and interesting wine experiences like a blind tasting and blending game

  • a day at an estancia (an Argentinian ranch) with horseback riding and traditional Argentine lunch

Argentina with Deb Van Pelt

 

 

Hello, I'm Deb!

ā€‹

I am the Executive Sommelier at Discovery Land Company's Troubadour Golf and Field Club. I am a Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Sommelier and hold a Wine and Spirit Education Trust level 3 award. 

ā€‹

My journey began with a real love of wine. After raising a family, I took a job in a tasting room representing a winery in St. Joseph, MI. There I worked with Dr David Miller, a PHD in viticulture, and became an avid student of wine. My journey took me to Nashville, TN where I began testing in earnest and climbing the Somm ladder, studying, testing and travelling.  I worked in wine programming development for wineries and building wine programs elsewhere. My true passion though is teaching others about the world of wine: what makes it special, the stories behind the bottles, its history and its myriad flavours.


I look forward to exploring these regions that after years of study seem so familiar.
