Sophenia

Sophenia is a winery and vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato, on Provincial Route 89, at the foot of the Cordillera. It opens its doors to wine tourism with visits designed to show the vineyard and how its wines are made.

What you can do

The visits include a tour of the vineyards, the tank room and the bottling room, and end with a tasting of five wines at the Wooden Bar. There are several options depending on the lines you want to try: Altosur, Finca Sophenia, Sophenia Estate Reserva and Sophenia Synthesis.

For those looking for something more special, there is an Íconos y Únicos visit, which includes limited-edition wines from the Synthesis line and is held in groups of 2 to 10 people. There are also Blending Sessions: each group creates its own blend, designs a label and takes the bottle home, and at the end the blends are tasted and a winner is chosen (2 to 10 people).

Location and how to get there

The winery is at Km 12.5 of Provincial Route 89, in the Gualtallary area, one of the best-known high-altitude areas of the Uco Valley. It is best to go by car.

Visits are booked through the winery's website. For general inquiries and wine tourism bookings there are different phone numbers and emails, which are listed in the profile. The website also has an online wine store.
