Here's Part 2 in my series on Argentina. Mendoza enjoys a dry climate that is not unlike that of southern California in the summer but colder in the winter. It offers different experiences depending on what area you choose to stay in – close to the mountains, classic Mendoza, the city center, and Chacras de Coria where the "old money" and artists live. Chacras is a leafy, residential area filled with hidden villas and cobblestone streets and a small town. We chose Chacras because of a wonderful hotel, the Relais et Chateau Susana Balbo Winemaker’s House and Spa Suites. Here are my picks of things to do in Mendoza.  If you missed Part 1 on Buenos Aires, click here.
