An old established Argenenian town , with a lot of history and charm. Great vineyards to visit. Wine hotels are gorgeous. The best food I had was in Cafayate, there was love in The food. El Piatelli vineyard has a wonderful restaurant you can indulge in agter a great wine and tasting!

Cafayate is an old world town with loads of regional shops. We drove from the south (from Tafí De Valle) and then went or to the north (toward Salta). Words cannot do justice to the wonders you’ll see.

Marvelous landscapes, good food an nice wines. I've visited Cafayate three times. Definitely, would love to go back Quebrada de las Conchas and la cuesta del obispo. Breathtaking. Start your trip in Salta, Cuesta del Obispo to Molinos, don't forget to visit Colome. Molinos, Cafayate, Qubrada de las conchas and finish in salta Have in mind that between Cafayate and Molinos is all dirt road. From city to city, travel during the day. Landscapes are beautiful. Plan your gas stations stops. There are only two gas stations: one in Cafayate and the other one I think is in Angastaco

Amazing wine, and a lot of locations to visit to enjoy it! Miranda Helados offers amazing wine ice cream-- not just wine-flavored-- it packs a punch. We stayed for 4 days which is either just right or a bit too long, depending on how much you enjoy wine. It definitely takes a toll on the pocket book as tasting and buying bottles can add up. Only one wine bar in town, Chato's, which is fantastic. Unfortunately for us, he was only open our last night. Food can be hit or miss, but if you are vegetarian head to El Zorrolito's for good, traditional food that both carnivores and their veggie partners can enjoy. Also Rancho was a delicious and priced very well but is more family style and meat centric. We chose to rent bikes and bike to Domingo Molina, Piatelli, and Bodega El Esteco. In our minds, this would be a pretty bike ride around vineyards. Wrong! The bike ride is a slow, but steady incline the whole way, on a unpaved, sandy, rocky road. It was very difficult and we are both in good shape. Take a bike taxi to Domingo Molina and just enjoy the bumpy ride down. Piatelli, in my opinion, was overrated. Tasting room service was pretentious, but the restaurant service was fantastic, just expensive. The place looks like it was built based on the high end tourist spots in Sonoma or Napa, not at all keeping with the Cafayate vibe. Much prefered Domingo Molina and El Esteco, which was expensive, but it felt authentic and was on a gorgeous property.

Great natural wonders along with fabulous wine! Piatelli winery is a must for lunch! Renting bikes is a great way to get around. The quebrada de conchos is close by car. Lots of wineries within walking distance.

I found the town itself a little overrated by fellow travelers, but exploring the quebrada via a tour with the local tour guide group was a highlight. The different rock formations are magnificent. Try and get Pipo as a guide if you can for a late afternoon tour. He is found at the corner of the main square at a little table roughly across from the pharmacy.
