La Cayetana is finally open to winelovers!, in Maipú, Mendoza.

After three years of restoring this Manor from the end of the 1700´s, we are proud to announce that we are already receiving guests for tastings and paired lunch.

Amazing views!

As a member of Team Grenachista and Ver Sacrum Wines, I´ll be delighted to show you our wines on a very relaxed atmosphere, and if you stay for lunch, you´ll get a taste of antique traditional dishes from Mendoza, curated from the original recipe book of the house.


Ver Sacrum is an innovative wine project that started in our garage. We like to work with non-traditional varieties for Argentina, as grenache noir, monastrell, roussanne, marsanne, nebbiolo, mencia, teroldego, and others. Yes, no malbecs with us, yet consider one of the projects that is producing a change in the Argentinian wine scene, the style is fresh, more fluid, less alcoholic wines.



Getting lots of attention from the international press, wine raters and sommeliers, Ver Sacrum is still a small winery, with limited releases, and hard to find wines. Here at La Cayetana, you´ll find the current portfolio all in one place, plus wines from other garage producers, all friends of the house.


So, if you are planning to visit Mendoza any time soon, don´t miss the chance to enjoy this private, hidden gem experience.

We are located in Maipú, 20 minutes away from downtown Mendoza, in the heart of the oldest wine country appelation.



Visits only by reservation at our mail grenachista@gmail.com or +54 9 2616392757.


So if you really are looking for an unique experience, with great wines, sorrunded y vineyards, olive groove, fruit orchards and secret gardens, this is your spot!
