Summer Study Abroad Programs in Mendoza, Argentina

I completed the wine course with Mente and found it to be an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only was I able to significantly broaden my wine knowledge and deepen my understanding of viticulture, wine production, and tasting techniques, but I also had the opportunity to enjoy a truly immersive experience in Argentina's renowned wine region. Mente ensures that every aspect of the program is well organized and thoughtfully planned. From providing all the necessary supplies and resources to offering continuous support throughout the course, their team is always available and ready to assist. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for participants made the experience both educational and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Mente to anyone looking to expand their wine expertise while experiencing the culture, hospitality, and beauty of Argentina.

With Mente argentina I took the two week intensive wine program and it was amazing! I learned so much from it and I really got the basics of wine. Also, they arranged an apartment in Palermo for me which is the best location in Buenos Aires and there were so many nice activities to join. I would totally recommend coming here, thank you again Mente!

I followed the 2-week intensive wine course and learned a lot! I met a lot of cool people during the amazing activities, such as an asado. Milli and Sam were always there to help you with all your questions, at any time. Thank you Mente!

I cannot recommend this program highly enough. The staff is responsive and knowledgeable. They customized a short term program tailored to my unique needs. I was given a place to stay with a wonderful host mom in a great neighborhood and I loved my tango and culinary instructors. I learned a tremendous amount in just a few short weeks and I will always remember my experience In Buenos Aires. Thank you, Mente!

I cannot recommend Mente enough! From the moment we arrived in Buenos Aires we were completely taken care of. The staff are amazing and so welcoming. They immediately help you adjust to your new home abroad and go above and beyond to help wherever they can. I have been home from my trip for a few weeks now and I cannot stop talking about the trip and how special it was because of Mente.

I did a 4-week Wine Program with Mente Argentina in July 2019 which I would highly recommend. The wine school was excellent and I learnt so much in a very short space of time. The program schedule fit me perfectly – I had plenty of free time to explore the city during the day and the fact that you are able to choose the duration of the program yourself to fit your needs/requirements was one of the main reasons I chose Mente. I was very pleased with the level of communication I received from the Program Advisors, both prior to my trip and during my time in Buenos Aires. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always available to answer any questions. They regularly arranged meet-ups and events where you got to meet other Mente participants, converse in your native language and experience the local culture. This was a big plus, especially as a solo traveller on a completely foreign continent. Although Mente’s programs seem to be aimed at students I was very impressed to see people of different ages from all walks of life, all of whom came to Buenos Aires to have their own unique experience. All in all, highly recommended. I definitely got what I came for and would happily return.

Hi I am Janelle and I am Adriarne. We are from Australia. I just finished the two week intensive wine course through Mente. and I just did the 4 week program. My favorite part about the program was the instructor. I did not speak any Spanish, so he was the English teacher. He was fantastic and made the classes really fun. We took a lot away from it. We are enthusiastic to keep drinking wine!

My name is Sydney and I come from Southern California. I came to Mente to do a two month wine program, I actually started off for one month but I loved it so much that I extended the program. I loved my teacher George. I loved having my private classes in English and the regular classes in Spanish which was a really great way to practice my Spanish in wine tasting class. I ended up going for a week to Mendoza, which is the wine taste center of Argentina and I went with friends I met through Mente, we had the most amazing times. I lived in the residency in Palermo, I couldn’t have picked a better location for my two months, I loved the people in my residency from all around the world. I improved my Spanish and loved my living situation. I did a lot of Mente Activities, they are all different and fun in their own way. I love that you can always find something to do. I got to see a lot of museums; you can always find something completely different to do. You can spend here six months and still haven’t seen anything. I loved Mente, my main concern before coming was the feeling of feeling alone and I was worried I would get lost in the city. Mente is always there to help you if you need anything, so it was good to know you had someone to call even for the smallest things. They always know the best places to do and best places to go for help. You have to try Malbec, its fantastic!
