Mendoza - Vendimia (Wine Harvest Festival)
Another example of the great generosity of Hector and YPF (the national oil company of which he is a director) was the invitation to join him and Martha on a business trip by chartered jet to Mendoza for the Vendimia (wine harvest festival) in which there are various processions demonstrating the typical produce and rich traditions of each region, culminating in a huge event of folk dance and music where the elected beauty queens of all regions of the state of Mendoza compete to be the overall queen of Mendoza.
The city of Mendoza is beautiful, with lovely green squares, one of which is furnished with mosaic-clad benches, fountains and a monument to the founding of the city. The most striking feature of the region is that despite its climatic limitations – exceedingly dry climate directly to the east of the Andes – it channels the little available water into Mendoza`s streets and the vineyards and orchards, providing ideal conditions for wine growing and the beautiful tree-lined streets of Mendoza.
