A piece of Argentinean wine history at La Cayetana

Making a long story short, Columbus brought the first seeds of Listan Prieto to the Americas. Soon this grape expanded both north and south. Called Mission grape in California, País in Chile and Perú, and Criolla in Argentina, this plus Muscat of Alexandria, pretty much completed the varietal stock.

3 mule harvest cart.
 In Argentina, specially in Mendoza, french fine grapes did not exist until Monsieur Piaget, head of the first experimental vineyard and winemaking school, plus few advanced entrepreneur families started to plant them around mid 1800´s.  


Our Estate, originally a 168 acres vineyard completly planted by 1860, was the first one with french grapes in Maipú. It had its own winery, re-build in 1912. Today you can enjoy the original Manor house of this property.


Ver Sacrum wines tastings, as well as other garage projects can be enjoyed as well as paired lunches by Chef Pablo del Rio, that rescued and curated old recipies all with fresh ingredients locally produced.



So come and enjoy some of the best honest food and wines Mendoza can offer, on an incredible setting.
