From the website of the winery south of the town of Cafayate: "Our history and that of the valley have been linked for more than 165 years. In 1850, one decade after the foundation of Cafayate’s city council, Flavio Niño y Plazaola decided to start a winegrowing activity in this unexplored location on the map. In those times, when the region was not even a project of what it turned out to be, this visionary set up his first white vines there. With the 20th century underway, more precisely in 1938, Arnaldo Benito Etchart bought this winery which belonged to his wife, Carmen Rosa, and her family, and started the development process which led its establishment to become what it is today: one of the most prestigious wineries of Argentina. Bodegas Etchart is the oldest operating winegrowing premise in the valley and one of the best proven record in Argentina: an authentic synonym for Cafayate and its high-altitude wines." We are driving south on Ruta 40 again. The abandoned building (2000) in the 2nd PiP is now in 2021 the "Hotel Altaluna". - scanned slide, Minolta X700
