— Journey —
Jet to Salta · 2 h 30 drive
Cafayate lies at the southern end of the Calchaquí Valleys, a sun-drenched wine town surrounded by the red rock cathedrals of the Quebrada de las Conchas. Here the white Torrontés grape is grown above seventeen hundred metres, producing a wine of startling aromatic clarity. FFGR Argentina arranges private cellar visits, the dramatic drive from Salta through the gorge, and stays at the celebrated Grace Cafayate among the vines and the golf course laid out against the mountains.
