Bodega El Esteco is a winery located in the heart of the Calchaquí Valley, in Cafayate, Salta Province, Argentina, at an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level. It was founded in 1892 by French brothers David and Salvador Michel, along with David's wife, Italian Gabriela Torino.
Today, El Esteco is one of the most important wineries in the Calchaquí Valley, with approximately 1,000 hectares of vineyards. The high altitude, abundant sunny days, and significant temperature variation between day and night create ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes.
