Overview
- CABA and Mendoza will split a US$400,000 fee—US$200,000 each—leaders Jorge Macri and Alfredo Cornejo announced in Mendoza during the Vendimia festivities.
- The 2026 selection for the two jurisdictions will be revealed digitally on July 13, with no gala event to cut costs.
- Coverage remains limited to Buenos Aires and Mendoza, with evaluations conducted independently by anonymous international Michelin inspectors under global criteria.
- Local officials confirmed the shift after the national government ended funding for Argentina’s participation in the guide.
- Authorities cite tourism and economic gains as the rationale, and they signaled interest in exploring a broader, potentially nationwide Michelin project in 2027.
