Situated south in the V alley of UCO, it is a good drive (approx 90 minutes) but well worth it. If Darth Vader owned a vineyard this is what it would look like, and the architecture is only the start. The restaurant based on a Spanish theme has wonderful views of the nearby Andes Mountains Mountains. It is a top bodega experience from the quality of their guides to the sheer indulgence of their wines. Certainly a definite for any visit to UCO.
