Wineries in Cafayate

I just cannot seem to get away from work! These plants were dripping with grapes!


Cafayate boasts the highest vineyards and wineries in the world. The town is a comfortable and friendly place that is surrounded by vineyards. It was difficult to decide which one to visit. We settled on San Pedro, off the beaten track, to the north of the town... mostly because they gave tours in English. We had a private tour and learned much about wine production. We bought a couple of rather expensive bottles, one of which I am now enjoying. The present sampling is called Yacochuya. It is not sold in Canada. To be honest, I was more interested in the growing of the grapes than in the wine production.
