A highlight within Eugenio Bustos and the southern Uco Valley, Finca La Celia winery is not only one of the oldest in the region but also one of the most significant players in Altamira and La Consulta. Although renowned for its elegant Malbec and Cabernet Franc under the hand of winemaker Andrea Ferreyra, La Celia has a large portfolio to discover and is open for visits both to the winery and historic posada.

About Finca La Celia winery

The oldest winery in the Uco Valley, La Celia was established in 1890 by Eugenio Bustos — after whom the town was later named. Eugenio left his estate to his daughter, Celia, which is where the estate’s name comes from today. At the time it was remarkably large, spanning over 40,000 hectares. The winery became so important to the region that the national train line was built to stop right at its front door!

In 2000, Viña San Pedro bought part of that original property, including the historic winery building. With over 380 hectares of vineyards to choose from, winemaker Andrea Ferreyra makes a range of wines which focus on Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. The mid-range Pioneer line offers great value, while Elite and Heritage are elegant exponents of Uco, and its recently launched Terruño is the top of the top. You can visit La Celia for a tasting and tour, or even stay overnight at their posada by the vines.
