Cafayate: Wine, Scenery, and Art in the Calchaquí Valleys

In the heart of the Calchaquí Valleys, Cafayate offers one of the most fascinating experiences in northern Argentina. Surrounded by mountains, vineyards, and unique natural formations, this destination blends history, local identity, and a growing food and wine scene. This 3-day proposal is designed for those seeking a deep connection with the landscape, wine, and culture, without compromising comfort or attention to detail.

Accommodation is at Piattelli Wine Resort, an exclusive complex of private villas perched among vineyards and gorges. Each villa is designed to provide privacy, rest, and panoramic views of the valley. The architecture harmonizes with the natural surroundings, and the service is tailored for a fully personalized experience.

The first day is dedicated to settling into the resort and enjoying the surroundings—whether walking through the vineyards or simply relaxing in the private villa with a glass of wine and the stillness of the mountains. In the evening, a private dinner is included at El Esteco Winery, one of the region’s most iconic vineyards, offering signature cuisine crafted with local ingredients and paired with select wines from its cellar.

The following day includes a guided tour of Cafayate and its surroundings with a specialized local guide. The tour explores the town’s colonial architecture, artisan markets, and winemaking heritage. The journey then continues deeper into the Calchaquí Valleys to visit one of the area’s hidden gems: Bodega Colomé.
Located over 2,300 meters above sea level, Colomé is one of the highest wineries in the world and delivers a truly unique experience. Guests enjoy a multi-course lunch at its restaurant, with vineyard views and a menu that blends Andean cuisine with contemporary techniques. After lunch, there is access to its private James Turrell Museum—an immersive collection of light-based art by the renowned American artist, offering a contemplative and unforgettable experience.

The final evening concludes with a gourmet dinner at Piattelli Winery, where signature cuisine meets regional flavors in a refined setting surrounded by vineyards and mountains.

Private transfers to and from Salta Airport, as well as transportation for all scheduled activities, are included throughout the trip.

This experience in Cafayate is a full immersion into the world of wine, nature, and art—filled with moments of discovery and distinct regional flavors.
