Museo Arqueológico

　　This private museum’s collection was left by enthusiastic archaeologist Rodolfo Bravo and merits a visit. Sourced mostly from grave sites within a 30km radius of Cafayate, the excellent array of ceramics, from the black and gray wares of the Candelaria and Aguada cultures to late Diaguita and Inca pottery, are...

　　This well-run family bodega has recently been taken over by the 30-something daughter, who knows how to keep good torrontés from touching corrupting oak (you may have noticed that most torrontés is a bit oaky and round). Here, it's dry, as is the splendid rosé, and its reds have always...

Finca las Nubes

　　Located 5km southwest of Cafayate along the road to Río Colorado (it’s signposted ‘Mounier’), this small, organic and friendly winery has a fabulous position at the foot of jagged hills. Tours depart hourly from 10am to 4:30pm. Tastings include four wines. The kitchen also serves empanadas (AR$18) and picada platters...

Tours show you three levels of relatively small-scale but state-of-the-art winemaking equipment and culminate in a long tasting of seven wines. There's an on-site restaurant that serves delicious lunches. Tours can be...

Museo de la Vid y El Vino

　　This impressive museum gives a good introduction to the area’s wine industry. The atmospheric first section, which deals with the viticultural side – the life of the vines – through a series of poems and images, is particularly appealing. The second part covers the winemaking side, and there’s a cafe...

San Pedro Yacochuya

　　An atmospheric boutique winery set at the end of a dusty desert road with cacti on one side and vineyards on the other. It makes 250,000 bottles of wine here each year, most stored in oak barrels in a wine cave cooled by running canals. The winery has been at...

　　A small producer, perched on a gorgeous hillside overlooking the verdant valley, backed by rugged mountains, with vineyards cascading down the slopes. It bottles 21 varieties of wine here, including some bubbles. You can't taste them all, but you can sip several by choosing one of five tasting options, each...
