"This is a gorgeous winery, set back a bit from town with a stunning overlook from the outside patio of the mountains and vineyard. They do regular tastings and greeted me by name when i arrived. The man doing the tasting was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided the most comprehensive introductions of all the tastings i went to in cafayete. The wine was okay, i ended up enjoying the whites the most, when I’m usually a red drinker, as I found most were quite light and dry - so depends on what you like! I also tried the empanadas and falafel salad and both were good but quite overpriced."

"This was an incredible wine bar and vineyard in Cafayate. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine here. The views here are amazing, as it's tucked up near the mountains. The property itself is gorgeous. If you're planning to taste wines in this area, don't miss this one!"
Matthew Seymour
"The place is absolutely amazing! Big terrace with an amazing view, where you can see all the vineyards. You can sit and enjoy a glass of wine or have lunch. We ordered two portions of empanadas and a glass of wine. They brought us the wine first with an appetizer (eggplant mousse and some homemade crackers). I have to recommend the empanadas, they were absolutely amazing, blended with the tomato sauce and the wine! Omg no words!!! You have to go there! FYI, the place is open from Wednesday to Sunday. We were lucky because we never check the opening times!!!"
