Join us for a memorable wine tasting and tour at Estancia Los Cardones, located in Tolombón, Salta province, in Argentina's northernmost wine region. Our winery offers a fascinating look into the Calchaquí Valleys, where the first grape plantations were established in 2009. While Malbec is the star of our vineyard, you will also find Petit Verdot, Garnacha, Cabernet, and Marsanne thriving in our unique terroir. The combination of intense sunlight, rocky soil, and vineyard orientation leads to earlier grape ripening, making us the first estate to harvest in the Calchaquí Valleys.

Perched at 1,700 meters above sea level, our estate provides stunning views and a rich heritage reflected in every glass of wine. Visit our beautifully designed stone winery, completed in early 2017, which is built from local stone, creating a strong connection to the land. With a production capacity of 150,000 liters and plans to expand to 250,000 liters, we are committed to quality and innovation in winemaking.

Under the guidance of the Saavedra Azcona family and esteemed winemaker Alejandro Sejanovich, we focus on highlighting the unique characteristics of Tolombón's terroir. Our careful vineyard management and winemaking techniques ensure that each bottle captures the essence of our land. Join us for a wine tasting and tour at Estancia Los Cardones, where tradition and modernity come together, and every sip tells the story of our exceptional region.

An incredible vineyard and winery, to get there you have to take a small dirt road, but it is definitely worth it. The views of this vineyard are unique. The construction is tremendous, it invites you to relax. We tasted wines during the steps lunch. The service was very good and we were able to see the barrel room and the fermentation room. A good plan in Salta

Extraordinary new installation of this Estancia in the middle of 450 hectares of vines!!! Very warm and professional welcome from Raquel in perfect French. Tasting of the wines produced on site. Only regret: no more bottles of Grenache to discover, because the small production was very successful!! Bravo to these pioneers who are demonstrating that we can make excellent wines in Argentina without disguising them with wood....

We went to see the winery because we love their wines. Its architecture and surroundings are beautiful, the empanadas delicious and the wines a 10, as always. But the best thing about the experience was the attention, a genius Gise, without a doubt her hospitality elevated the visit. COME!

It doesn't disappoint one bit, just like its wines!!! The place is beautiful, and the experience at the winery does it justice. We ate barbecue and the level of food and service was spectacular. It is highly appreciated (when you come to visit several wineries) that part of the menu is a good fresh salad, also with incredible flavors in the meats and empanadas. I definitely recommend it and I will return!

Beautiful winery in spectacular scenery! Gisella's attention is excellent, it is clear that she does her work with passion. The wine is very rich. I would add desserts to the menu.
