Cloud Forest Wine Tasting

Taste in the Clouds

Taste wine while clouds roll through the vineyard. At 3,000 meters, you are literally in the cloud zone. Morning mist burns off to reveal the Andes. Afternoon clouds creep back. The tasting room looks out at peaks that ancient Incas considered sacred (Apu means "mountain spirit"). Their Sauvignon Blanc has electric acidity. Their Cab Sauv has intensity that comes from UV bombardment.

Insider tips

  • Late morning is best - clouds usually clear by 10am

  • Bring a sweater - temperatures drop when clouds roll in

  • Their Reserve wines are only available at the winery

  • Ask about the Apu (mountain spirit) the winery is named after
