A wine-country retreat in Cafayate, where history and landscape intertwine with a passion for high-altitude wines.
Finca Las Nubes is usually open every day for visits and lunches, generally from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., although it is advisable to confirm in advance. It is located just 5 km from Cafayate's main square, heading up toward El Divisadero; you can easily get there by car, taxi, or by enjoying a scenic walk.
Access to the estate is free if you have a lunch reservation, but guided tours and tastings have specific fees that vary by season. To secure your spot and check updated prices for menus and tastings, we suggest visiting their official page or social media.
If you are only coming for the guided tour and a glass of wine, one hour is enough. However, the true Las Nubes experience is to enjoy lunch at a relaxed pace and take in the landscape, so we recommend setting aside at least 2 to 3 hours.
It is the personal project of renowned winemaker José Luis Mounier, created to produce high-altitude wines with a unique identity. The place is culturally significant for the way it combines traditional Torrontés cultivation with the natural landscape of the Cafayate Valley.
Harvest season (February to March) is spectacular for seeing the grape harvest, but the weather is pleasant almost all year round. The best time is undoubtedly midday, to make the most of the sunshine, the clear valley views, and its excellent food offering.
The main restaurant area and the tasting terrace are accessible and flat, allowing wheelchair access. However, keep in mind that the paths between the vineyards are dirt and gravel, which may make moving around outside the common areas more difficult.
On your way down from the estate, you will be just minutes from the town center, where you can visit the essential Vine and Wine Museum. It is also an excellent starting point for exploring the rock formations of Quebrada de las Conchas or visiting other nearby wineries.
The golden tip is to book in advance, especially for lunch, as it is one of the most sought-after places in Cafayate. Also, always bring sunscreen and a hat, as the high-altitude sun is very strong, and make sure your camera battery is charged because the views are unmatched.
