About this experience
This excursion is a tour to 2 wineries of Cafayate that are positioned as one of the best of the Calchaqui Valley. There are 2 different options available. This tour could be to San Pedro de Yacochuya and Piattelli Vineyards on the West side or you could go to El Esteco and El Porvenir de los Andes on the East. Of course, a winery tour would not be complete if you're not taken to visit the Museum of the Vine and Wine, so in both options you will be visiting it.
In each winery, we do a tour of the facility and you will enjoy the tasting of the best wine produced in the winery. Your tour and tasting are guided by a sommelier that explains the particularities of the wine, the vine and cellar as well.
