Wines and dazzling landscapes: the perfect pairing to take a few days in the valley

Did you know that the land of our Calchaquí Valley is arid and sweet at the same time? That's how it is. This means that it houses around twenty vineyards and wineries, some artisanal or homemade and others more industrialized, and of which eleven offer complementary services for tourists, such as accommodation, guided tours, and gastronomy.

Over the last few years and through powerful joint work between the public and private sectors, Tucumán wines have acquired greater renown at a national level, characterized by being intense and of high quality, with a great structure of aroma and color. , very concentrated and with a good contribution of alcohol. This is because the Tucumán valley is one of the most privileged settings for this crop, due to its great thermal amplitude, with a cold climate in winter and hot and dry in summer and with high exposure to the sun almost all year round.

The Tucumán Wine Route also allows for a perfect pairing with numerous tourist activities and products rooted in the mythical Route 40 and 307, in the middle of the ancient cardones and under the spirit of Pachamama. Among them, we can mention the visit to different towns such as Talapazo, where it is possible to experience rural community tourism, attractions such as the Tiu Punco desert, and important archaeological sites such as the Sacred City of Quilmes and the Ruins of Condorhuasi in El Pichao.

What better when nights are cold than a Tucumán wine to accompany the exquisite local cuisine? The empanadas, the humita and the locro generate an ideal combination with the intense red wines of our Calchaquí Valley. Meanwhile, the torrontés (white wine), much lighter and citrusy, goes very well with the tapas with cheeses, the trout caught in the La Angostura dam and desserts such as ambrosia, vigilante, cane honey alfajores and mazamorra.
