After traveling a distance of approximately 4 km, we arrive at the Vistalba winery, whose construction is inspired by Creole culture.
At this winery, we made our second visit and tasting.

This winery was built in 1920, and in those first years, in addition to wine, it also produced olive oil, and distillates.
Today, the winery has the capacity to produce 7 million liters that are distributed in tanks of between 12,000 and 30,000 liters for fermentation, ideal for small batches of the highest quality. And also in tanks of 100,000 liters for storage.
Here, it will be our place for lunch, in their restaurant, called "Ramos Generales".
Led by renowned chef Francis Mallmann, Ramos Generales is a different and relaxed proposal where you will be in contact with nature and in the company of the best Kaiken wines.
