Who We Are

We are an Argentine-American family who, for nearly two decades now, have been welcoming travelers into our world of wonder here in Argentina. Operating mainly on an invite-only and referral basis, we have quietly built a reputation for offering something truly rare. We are not a travel agency. What we offer is not a standard tour, but an invitation, a cinematic journey that begins in the elegance of Buenos Aires and unfolds in the vast beauty of the Calchaquí Valley, the world’s highest altitude wine region (where we make our own wine) and one of its most breathtaking landscapes.
Because we live here full-time, we are deeply rooted and culturally fluent, able to translate not only the language but the nuances, traditions, and spirit of this place in a way few others can. Our bilingual background and insider knowledge allow us to tailor every detail to our guests’ passions, whether it's wine, cuisine, adventure, retreat, or a blend of all of the above, while opening doors to unforgettable experiences most visitors would never discover.
More than guests, those who travel with us are welcomed as friends and family, experiencing our Argentina with warmth, authenticity, and a sense of true belonging that makes for the trip of a lifetime. This is destination travel at its most personal, luxurious, sustainable, and transformative, an experience that, in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain, invites you to “be a traveler, not a tourist,” in the truest sense.

Social Media*

At Calchaquí Curated, we believe true luxury is lived offline. Our focus is on being fully present, and experiencing life richly and deeply here in the Andes - creating, making, crafting our wine, and sharing real experiences face-to-face, not posting them online. We’re a family, not a corporation, and our time is devoted to sharing authentic experiences with our guests rather than maintaining social media accounts.

If you’d like to see photos, videos, or other imagery, just ask - we’re happy to provide them privately. For us, keeping things simple, personal, and rooted in real life is part of what makes the experience we offer so special.
