Drive high into the Valles Calchaquíes to Colomé, one of the world’s highest vineyards. This private two‑day tour pairs high‑altitude wine tasting with visits to Molinos, Cachi and the James Turrell museum.
You arrive by a long, winding road where air thins and the world opens into creased plates of red earth and stacked mountain ridges. The drive up Cuesta del Obispo climbs toward 3,500 m, and the landscape changes from green Lerma valley to the skeletal silhouettes of candelabra cacti in Parque Nacional Los Cardones. On arrival at Colomé, the vineyard greets you with a cool glass of Torrontés and wind that seems to press the valley into focus.

On arrival at Colomé, the vineyard greets you with a cool glass of Torrontés and wind that seems to press the valley into focus.
Colomé was founded in 1831 and sits in the high Valles Calchaquíes—one of the highest vineyard regions on the planet. The deep reds of Los Colorados are volcanic and sedimentary rock worn by millennia of wind; those soils and altitude give wines like Torrontés, Malbec and Tannat a sharp aromatic lift. Cultural threads run from Spanish colonial towns such as Molinos and Cachi to contemporary art at the James Turrell museum, where light itself becomes material you can walk through.
Practical guidance: this is a private, two‑day itinerary with hotel pickup, an overnight at Estancia Colomé, tastings and guided visits to nearby towns. Expect dusty unpaved roads, significant altitude gain, and several short walks around vineyards and museum installations. Bring layered clothing for cold nights and strong sun during the day, sunscreen, and at least 2–3 liters of water per person. A valid passport is required; minimum age for the tour is 18. If you’re sensitive to altitude, plan an extra day in Salta city to acclimatize before departure.
