San JuanSan Juan was historically a province devoted to the production of table wines, but in the last ten years, the situation has started to revert and the wine industry is becoming fully oriented towards the elaboration of fine and high quality wines.

The possibilities provided by the soil, the weather and the recently installed technology are many.

That is the reason why nowadays there are highly technified wineries at the different productive oasis, where internationally recognized wines are elaborated.

La RiojaLa Rioja combines different wine producing sub-regions. The main producing region goes from the Famatina Valleys to Villa Unión; this region having the necessary technology to achieve the finest wines, while the Coast Valleys unveil the magic of a wholly handcrafted production; two different approaches on the wines of a same province and completely different contexts for wine tourism: industrial wineries versus family wineries.

The circuit of family wineries that goes from the capital city of La Rioja till Santa Cruz (Department of Castro Barros) proposes to discover the taste of homemade wines, although there are other fancier projects at the new production centers like Chañarmuyo, at 1.720 mts above sea level, in the middle of the northern hills of the province, at the feet of the Paimán chain, scenery of the Aguada's native culture, an easy connection point to reach the wine producing regions of the neighbor province of Catamarca.

Page 25: Delish, decadent and delectable   eating and drinking our way through argentina and chile - july 26, 2011-3

NorthIn this region, meals are prepared with recipes that passed from generations to generations. These meals can be traced back to barter times when each region had its own local food production. There were exchanges with inhabitants of other regions that let them taste new flavors.

In the North, visitors can taste the captivating flavor of the sweet pepper with its strong red color; the yellow corn as many meals are made with this grain; delicious smashed orange pumpkins and dishes condimented by green basil.

In the Northern Region the most popular meats are llama (South American camelid), soused vizcacha, hare or partridge, chivito or lamb asados or spicy chicken. These meals are paired with regional beverage. Visiting the north is synonym of tasting “chicha” –beverage made with fermented corn flour, peanut and water- or “aloja” –made from fermented carob tree sheaths.  Other regional beverages are homemade foot-pressed wines (=vino patero), creole wines, homemade liquors and schnapps.

NorthWine tourism in the North is mostly concentrated in the Calchaquíes Valleys, between the provinces of Salta and Catamarca, a region with outstanding landscape and culture, excellent frame for the Wine Route, with interesting stories and legacies.

Those valleys, at an average altitude of 1.700 meters above sea level, are the main producing regions, Cafayate heading the most important one. In middle of colorful mountains, those small wine oasis give birth to intense and strong wines, unique in style.

Page 28: Delish, decadent and delectable   eating and drinking our way through argentina and chile - july 26, 2011-3

SaltaThe Calchaquíes Valleys and specially Cafayate concentrate the 90% of vineyards, which encompass about 3.200 hectares. The rest is distributed among Cachi, Molinos and San Carlos. Vineyards at these valleys are called “high altitude vineyards”, ranging between 2.400 and 3.000 meters, a place that impresses because of its majestic location. The rare rains, the extraordinary luminosity and the great thermal amplitude give birth to concentrated fruits and strong wines.

Wineries with estancias, boutique hotels, inns and wine spas offer a big variety of lodging and relaxing options in this wine country. The kindness of its people, the authenticity of its cuisine, the ancient people and its handicraftsmen are part of the tourist attraction of the Wine Route in this province.

CatamarcaCatamarca has about 2,200 vineyard hectares; but only a fourth part thereof corresponds to wine varieties; the rest is for the fruit market or for the elaboration of raisins. Although the wineries are quite small, they have the right technology for the elaboration of high quality wines.This region’s wines are fruitlike and full in body.

Like the neighbor provinces of Salta and La Rioja, Catamarca features a mountain landscape, with ancient and imposing volcanoes and valleys where the population and crops are concentrated. Fiambalá valley, at the west and 300 kms far from the capital city, is the main grape producer. Towards the east is Santa María, the other productive oasis, at the Calchaquíes Valleys. Wineries, in general, are focused on the elaboration of fine wines and much of the process is done by hand.

Bariloche, Argentina

Bariloche is a picturesque ski town on the southern shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi in the National Park of the same name. It is located in one of the most beautiful regions of the country, better known as the Lake District. Amidst grandiose snow-capped mountains, crystal clear waters and dense forest of cypress and coihue trees, it is known as the Switzerland of Argentina as even the architecture is reminiscent of Europe.

Austrians and Germans looking for a better life settled the area in the late 1800’s. These immigrants sought a place that reminded them of their Bavarian homeland, and they found it in a beautiful, fertile valley nestled in the Andes.

Now Mitre Street, Bariloche’s main street, is a “Street of Chocolate Dreams.” It is lined with stores selling chocolates and tourists trying to decide which store offers the best chocolate. It is a yummy dilemma!
