Founded in 1994, Valle de la Puerta Winery is located in the picturesque Fatamina Valley, approximately 754 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. Nestled between the majestic Velasco and Fatamina Mountains, the winery offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. Spanning 150 hectares, the vineyards produce an impressive 2.2 million liters of wine each year. The region's extreme weather conditions, characterized by hot days and limited rainfall during harvest, contribute to the cultivation of intensely flavored grapes. In addition to wine, the winery also crafts extra virgin olive oil, known for its vibrant fruity aromas and fresh, spicy notes.

The winery carefully selects the finest grapes to create a diverse range of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. Utilizing a drip irrigation system, each vine receives precise watering, ensuring efficient water use and optimal grape quality.

Write a reviewBeautiful winery, the attention is very good, both in the guidance and in the sale of their products. They let us have lunch in their park, under the trees. The wines are excellent, the price-quality ratio unmatched.

Very good winery. Extensive plantation of both vines and olive trees. Modern and tidy. Quality products that can be purchased on site, and the winery can be visited at certain times. You need to go by car for the visit, since the distance from the sales room to the plant is very long.

Very good wines. Very friendly staff. I recommend visiting the winery. I went in June 2024, the guided tour and tasting is free. The wines for sale have affordable prices and, as in many wineries, you can buy some wines there that are not available in stores. The olive oil from La Puerta is also excellent. They sell empanadas only on long weekends.

When I arranged a private ride from La Rioja to Chilecito for Remis, our driver Javier planned the itinerary for us. First we visited Cuesta de Miranda, then Estación Uno and Estación Dos in Chilecito, saw the big Christ statue, and finally visited this winery. It was just in time for the grape harvest in February. There is a huge olive grove and vineyard, and we drove by car from the entrance to the winery. It was great to be able to see up close how the grapes are put into the machines and processed. There was a sophisticated oak scent in the brewery. After that, he went to the vineyard and gave me two big bunches of grapes. When I got home and ate it, it was sweet and delicious, and it was totally different from the grapes sold at the greengrocer. The last wine I tried was a Malbec called La Puerta Alta, which was unique in that it was a light wine even though it was a red wine. It seems like it's going to become one of my favorite wines. The whole thing was a great experience. Although it's a bit difficult to get to when traveling to Argentina, it's highly recommended.
