Altitude Tasting Challenge

Tarija Valley sits at 1,850m—the world's highest altitude wine region—where cool nights and intense sun create high-altitude Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec with exceptional minerality.

What to do there

TastingAltitude Tasting ChallengeTaste wines from three different altitude bands in one session. Start with grapes from 1,600 meters - relatively "low" for Bolivia. Move to 2,200 meters where UV intensity increases dramatically. Finish with wines from nearly 3,000 meters - among the highest vineyards on Earth. Notice how the same grape variety tastes completely different as altitude increases. This is terroir in vertical form.
