Salta, land of wine
 
Within the wide geographic biodiversity that Salta can offer, the wine-making region of the Calchaqui Valleys are surrounded by mountain ranges of unusual beauty and color, mountain breezes, clear skies and historical villages.

It was in the XVIII century that the Jesuits planted the first vines and since then the valleys have begun to accumulate vineyards and wineries.

Their noticeable growth is the result of the highest quality of their wines, currently featuring more than 3,200 hectares, throughout the Cafayate, San Carlos, Angastaco, Molinos and Cachi departments.

The personality that wines from Salta can achieve today is due precisely to a terroir stamp of the Calchaquí Valleys.
