Tulum Valley Wineries (Pocito)
Ruta del Vino de San Juan
The heart of Argentina's second-largest wine region, where wineries are clustered on the southern outskirts around Pocito, offering Syrah, Malbec, and white wines.
The Tulum Valley enjoys abundant sunshine and large day-night temperature swings, and Syrah and Torrontés perform especially well here. The densest concentration of wineries is in La Rinconada on the southern outskirts of Pocito. Boutique estates such as Las Marianas offer cellar tours, tastings, and estate lunches, and there are olive oil mills nearby that can be visited. Most wineries require reservations. You can book a half-day winery tour departing from the city or hire a car with a driver. Drink-driving enforcement is strict, so do not drive yourself after tasting.
Opening hours
Most wineries approx. 10:00 am–6:00 pm; reservations required
