Most individual provinces may also be broken down further into sub enotourism regions, which are often indicated by departments (Departments of Argentina (departamentos ) form the second level of administrative division after provinces), cities, or cross provincial valleys (such as the Calchaquí Valleys) that may transverse and connect all three. Regardless of the regions system used, it is generally agreed that the most significant wine growing regions and provinces make up a variation of the following: * The Cuyo region whose main wine producing provinces are Mendoza, San Juan, and San Luis. The Cuyo region is the most developed wine region, with Mendoza and San Juan being the largest wine producing provinces of Argentina. Mendoza, in particular, is responsible for more than 80% of Argentina’s wine. Mendoza has over one thousand wineries, and is planted with approximately 370,657 acres (150,000 ha) of vineyards.〔Mendoza Wine Varietal Information. In Great Wine Capitals.
