Tarija

Tarija Valley, nestled near the border with Argentina, is Bolivia's undisputed champion of wine production. Boasting a rich history dating back to the 17th century, when Spanish missionaries first planted vines here, Tarija offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation.

Sun-drenched days and cool nights, thanks to Tarija's moderate altitude (ranging from 1,600 to 2,150 meters), create a perfect environment for grape ripening. This diversity allows for a wider range of grape varieties to flourish. While the region is particularly renowned for its bold and inky Tannat reds, you'll also find other international favorites like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. For white wine enthusiasts, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and aromatic Riesling are delightful options. And don't forget to explore Singani, a unique Bolivian grape brandy, a true local specialty.

One of Tarija's fascinating aspects is the presence of incredibly old vines, some exceeding 100 years in age!
