Bodega Colomé, in the Calchaquí Valleys of Salta, is one of the oldest and highest wineries in Argentina. Founded in 1831, it has vineyards at altitudes of up to 3,111 meters, making it one of the highest in the world. These extreme conditions, combined with the dry climate and intense sun, produce wines of great concentration, complexity, and elegance, especially Malbec and Torrontés. The winery also houses the James Turrell Museum, dedicated to the work of this American light and space artist, offering a unique sensory experience. Colomé is a remote and exclusive destination that combines the grandeur of the Andean landscape with the sophistication of world-class wines and avant-garde art.
