Inspired by the majestic Mayan pyramids, the Catena Zapata winery stands as the epicenter of Argentina's most esteemed wine-producing family. Engaging tours immerse you in its rich history, which traces back to the year 1902, and its pivotal role in elevating Malbec, now the nation's iconic grape variety. During these tours, you have the exclusive opportunity to savor Malbec directly from the aging barrels in carefully guided sessions, thoughtfully paired with delectable charcuterie or tapas (advanced booking required). For the ultimate wine adventure, the spotlight turns to the 'Adrianna' vineyard, perched more than 1,500 meters above sea level and hailed as Argentina's Grand Cru. Here, you'll encounter a prime illustration of the nation's unique high-altitude terroirs, all while taking in breathtaking vistas of the Andean foothills.
