Day 1105,
27.02.2014,
Cafayate, Argentina.

Cafayate is a small town in Salta province with the population of 11 thousand inhabitants. The town is located 1,683 m above sea level.


"Bienvenidos a Cafayate" says the sign at the border of the city.


This is an important wine region of Argentina. Finding overnight place in Cafate last night was easier because of the big municipal camping. It was situated about a kilometer from the center of the town.


Perfectly ok place to spend the night. Peaceful as the summer season was almost over and in the household all elementary existed – the items in the order of importance - wifi, shower with hot water and electricity.




Cafayate Cathedral "Nuestra Señora del Rosario"


A completely usual gas station. ACA means Automovil Club Argentino.


And one more peculiar house.


Just across the road there is the wine museum, and one can read the following: “It is at the forefront of Argentine Theme Museums and is positioned as one of the most original and innovative museums dedicated to wine from all over the world.” Link

And at night


Different sorts of grapes




The description of the process of growing grapes is described month by month.

The result.

Next is a display about the history of wine-making in the region of Cafayate.

The historical video clips were in Spanish, but also without any translation it was possible to figure out how the juice from grapes was processed.

In conclusion, we can say that a very interesting and modern museum. While in Cafayate - definitely worth a visit.
