Bodega El Esteco
A century-old winery on the northern outskirts of Cafayate, its white colonial-style buildings set against the mountains, offering cellar tours and tastings of Torrontés and Malbec.
Bodega El Esteco, formerly the Michel Torino winery, was founded in 1892 and is one of Cafayate's most representative wineries. Its white arcaded estate buildings, vineyards and distant mountains form a classic scene. The winery offers scheduled tours, visiting the old cellars and production hall, and tastings of high-altitude Torrontés white and Malbec red. The estate also has a boutique hotel and restaurant. Tours require advance booking; prices are as published by the winery. It is about 5 minutes by taxi from the town center.
