Cafayate

"Cafayate, in the province of Salta, is well known for its wine, bodegas, and vineyards. Bodegas are scattered around the town center, and vineyards exist just a short walk outside of town, while others require a slightly higher than average taxi ride. Some require reservations, while others are walk-in, and have several free tours and samplings throughout the day. Here are five bodegas and vineyards I highly recommend visiting: 1. Piatelli Vineyards 2. Cabras de Cafayate 3. Vasija Secreta 4. El Esteco 5. Finca Las Nubes Check out my blog post for further details on each of these locations. There are also several great spots for nature just outside of Cafayate. The best plan would be to rent a car to see them all. If not, there are also city buses that pass by, but are more limited. You can also join a tour. Stops to make on the road between Salta & Cafayate: 1. Tres Cruces 2. Las Ventanas 3. Anfiteatro 4. La Garganta del Diablo 5. Los Medanos 6. Los Colorados 7.
