This vineyard is located in Tolombon, an exclusive high altitude landscape, 25 km far from the city of Cafayate. The builiding was full made by stones, mineral extracted in the same location. The intense sun, the altitude, and the extremely stone soil facilitates the early growth of the grapes, being the first vineyard to start the harvest every year among the Calchaqui Valleys.

Last Saturday when we were in Cafayate 5 of us visited a few bodegas to sample their wines. El Porvenir was by far the best. It is a bit pricier than the others we went to but so worth it. Adriana was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wines she served us. She also gave us background on history etc. and was very engaged and answered all of our questions. As our Spanish leaves much to be desired, it was great that Adriana's English was very good . Thank you for a great time and good wine.

Without a doubt the best views of all vineyards in the already beautiful area. They offer wine tours and tastings in Spanish. The tour is not that long, but the tasting was more elaborate than others. The wines were also very tasty, all from the Las Nubes own brand. We enjoyed an additional bottle of the Mounier brand paired with a sharing platter of cheese and meats. Absolutely a treat on the outside seating area in the ever present sun We combined this visit with a hike to a nearby waterfall at Rio Colorado which is I can highly recommend.

We have definitely made a right choice coming to this winery. We were the only visitors, wine was great, estate is beautiful with extensive collection of cactuses and beautiful mountain view. Girl who was doing the wine tasting did a personal tour of the winery for us and we have spent enjoyable couple of hours there. Cheese was great too.

During our road trip we decided to reach Cafayate from Salta, and to stop by the bodega El Esteco to get some rest and a good lunch. We enjoyed this place so much, it was actually a paradise... Surrounded by vineyard, the bodega itself is in a perfect Argentinian style. We had our lunch on the terrasse, by the pool, enjoying a wonderful meat and some local wine... Food was extra, service perfect, and the place amazing... nothing to had! We wish to come back soon!

This wine is a MUST, if you are in Cafayate. They have the best torrontés in town. They red wines are just amazing! It was the unique place in Argentina, where we got some cheese and crackers together with the wine tasting. Mónica was a nice guide showing and explaining us the different processes in the wine production, amazing worker, really attentive. We got a box of different wines to enjoy at home.

So the place is gorgeous with some darn good wine. We enjoyed a wine tasting conducted in English and Spanish and enjoyed vintages from Cafayate and Mendoza. After, my Argentine friends decided the outside patio would be perfect for Merienda and they were right. The foods were delicious, served timely, and the views down the valley were spectacular. The expanse is clean and inviting and the employees were extremely helpful and friendly. These are characteristics that are sometimes missing in Argentina’s customer service culture. After the tasting and food, we purchased two bottles of their Reserves for a wonderfully reasonable price. The wine tasting was priced perfectly too, they are definitely not trying to “get” the tourist with ridiculous pricing. Highly recommend a couple hours of your day at this beautiful location.
