This corporate affair on the
northern edge of town is a smart and attractive winery producing some of the region's
best wines. The tasting is a little spartan though.

Five kilometers west of Cafayate along the road to Río Colorado (it's signposted 'Mouni-
er'), this small, organic and friendly winery has a fabulous position at the foot of the
jagged hills. It also does tasty deli plates here. Ring ahead if you want to eat. Grape-pick-
