Bodega Colomé
Bodega Colomé Argentina
Bodega Colomé (Salta Region, Argentina)
Founded in 1831, Bodega Colomé is a unique winery experience that’s a must-see for anyone who can make the journey to the Salta region of Argentina. This winery consists of four high-altitude vineyards ranging from 5,700-10,000 feet above sea level. Due to its high-altitudes, the vineyards grow grapes with thicker skins, which ultimately helps produce stronger flavors, colors and aromas.
Bodega Colomé is owned by Swiss born entrepreneur Donald Hess, after he first visited it in the late nineties. Over the last fifteen years, Hess has planted new vines and the vineyard has reached approximately 140 hectares. The Hess family has even gone a step further and helped build the local village’s church and community center, giving back to the village that consists of approximately 400 people.
Tours of the winery and wine tastings are available every day from 10:30-6pm. The visitor center will teach you all about the history and agriculture of their wine, as well as give you a taste of the local cuisine. There’s no better place to learn the best wine/food pairings. To ensure you get the most enjoyable experience, it’s wise to call ahead and book your tour and tasting.
