The best area to visit for wine tasting is Cafayate. This is about three hours by road from Salta and is an attractive journey in itself, passing through rugged valleys and canyons. Once at Cafayate, there are a number of wineries that can be visited before either returning to Salta or better still staying the night in Cafayate. Around Molinos and Cachi there are also some wineries, the landscape here is even more impressive and making a circuit combining Salta, Cafayate, Molinos and Cachi over a few days is highly recommended.
