Yes, Cafayate is definately place for me :) Nice and warm, mornings were quite chilly but after the sun had gone up it was very pleasant, actually almost too hot (but I am not complaining). Wineries all over us, only needed to pick the wines to taste. It was nice to notice that spring is coming, it's beten months that we have seen something green. We were lucky to admire tiny leaves and flowers just above our tent. Cafayate, fresh market produce and cheese!! I have been dreaming of cheese last three wweks and now I got it :) We have been camping and it has been so chilled, we have eaten a lot and took snoozes on hammocks.
We visited Cabras de Cafayate, goat farm. Got really teeny tiny (ruikuista ruikuimmat!) tastings of three different cheese. I was so disapointed, but cheese was good so bought two big chunks. It has been forever since I have eaten proper cheese. We visited following wineries - El transito, Nanni (organic), Vasija Secreta (oldest) and Finca Nubes. We also tasted Domingo Hermanos and Quara wines which were from the same area. Passed tens of other wineries also but most of then were private and only by appointments.
We rented bikes and cycled to Seven Waterfalls. I loved it! Scenary was amazing with the biggest cactuses I have ever seen, it was quite challenging to climb on the rocks and crossing the river. Loved it even more! We met three Frenchies there and ended up spending the whole afternoon with together. Had dinner, some excellent cheese empenadas and played cards late till night with some wine of course ;)
I hope Argentina will be full of places like Cafayate!
