During your trip to Salta you shouldn’t miss Cafayate,not only to enjoy it as a life experience but also to try our wines,the highlight of March. Discover these and more cooking and wine experiences at Piattelli Cafayate

Cooking class: (2 people minimum): through this experience we´ll have the opportunity of living gastronomy from a different focus within a special environment. We’ll reveal the secret of the “salteña empanada” and the history of the northern empanada in general terms. The chef and his team will teach us how to make the dough for these delicious empanadas,the filling,how to pinch the edge,crimp it and seal it(repulgue) and the cooking techniques in a mud oven. The outcome: an experience of the northern gastronomic culture worthy of being remembered among good friends and unique flavours.

Horseback Riding in the vineyards: (2 people minimum): The horses are already saddled and we are ready to go. We find a different way of getting to know the “finca”(country house) and Piattelli vineyards riding our horses along the furrows where the grape seeds are sown. The guide showed us around the Finca El Chasqui on a ride of almost 100 hectares to see the backstage of wine production.

We´ll see where the grapes are born right on the spot and we’ll see how they are being taken care of so they give us year after year its best production. We’ll also appreciate the land where the indigenous flora hasn’t been tampered with and where among cacti and vineyards we’ll learn about the history of Cafayate Valley

Once the ride is over we won´t go without first tasting three different wines of top quality to bring this fun and gratifying activity to a spectacular close.

A warning: it´s forbidden to cry Hi Ho Silver when you get up on the horse!. A bottle of water is included to quench the thirst

Bike Tour: Guided tour on a bike(2 people minimum): For those who want to get away from animal-drawn vehicles and like pedaling there is the possibility of visiting the vineyards on a bike while letting the horses to rest and where we´ll make the extra effort.Through this guided bike tour you’ll get to see the different kinds of grown grapes, you’ll get to appreciate the indigenous flora and you´ll learn about the soil,the climate and the geography of a very important region for the development of the quality of our wines. As in the Riding tour you’ll visit a vineyard where you can taste three top quality wines. The bottle of water is also included.
