Whether you take a packaged tour of vineyards or explore on your own (some TripAdvisor travelers recommend renting a bike!), you’re sure to come home with amazing memories… and probably a new favorite Malbec.

Stayed for 3 days at the Vineyard Finca Agostino because I work in the wine industry. Because of my Birthday, they organized a tour, a tasting and a lunch with the winemaker and a business analyst. The CEO especially came to say Hello. I felt very welcome and special and the people working at the vineyard were very friendly. The wines and the lunch were AMAZING. Everyone was very fluent in English as well. I would definitely recommend EVERYONE to go to this vineyard, it is very special and lovely. I would also recommend to stay here for a few days, because the vineyard (and private swimming pool) looks very beautiful, and the lunch and wines are amazing. I am very grateful for the nice gestures and I hope more people will visit this amazing vineyard.

The concept behind the design of Killka was to create a first class cultural centre in the midst of natural landscapes, a place as important as Bodegas Salentein's winery itself..

Do not miss the opportunity to visit this stunning park. If you have your own car just turn up at the entrance, pay your fee and join a convoy of vehicles on a 40 Km drive over reasonable tracks.
