Museum of Vine and Wine
Museo de la Vid y el Vino
A modern interactive wine museum that uses light, shadow and poetry to tell the story of high-altitude viticulture and Torrontés winemaking.
The museum lies on the main road south of the town center and opened in 2011. It has two sections, 'Vine' and 'Wine'. The first introduces the climate, terroir and vineyard work of the Calchaquí Valley through multimedia, poetry and installation art. The second displays old winemaking equipment and the production process. You can taste wine at the shop attached at the end. Exhibits have English captions, and a visit takes about an hour, making it a good first stop on a winery tour. Admission is inexpensive, and it is usually closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun approx. 10:00–19:00
