About Bodega El Esteco
Bodega El Esteco is located in Cafayate, in the Valles Calchaquíes. Its history begins with the Michel brothers at the end of the 19th century, in a region of high-altitude vineyards. The production complex features colonial-style architecture and nearby cultivation areas.
Tours show the interior of the bodega and part of its production. Altitude, thermal range, and the cultivated varieties help explain the wines' relationship with the valley. Torrontés and red grape varieties are part of this picture, depending on the chosen tour and tasting format.
Book the winery experience directly and arrange return transport. The presence of other services in the complex does not make every area part of the bodega visit. Confirm the meeting point and the experience content before you go, so you can dedicate time to production and not just the façade.
