Bodega Catena Zapata
With its imposing Mayan-style pyramid, a restaurant awarded both a Michelin Star and a Green Star, high-altitude vineyards that have earned multiple 100-point scores, and the prestigious Catena Institute of Wine, Catena Zapata offers a truly world-class wine experience.
The iconic Mayan pyramid at Catena Zapata conveys an unmistakable visual strength, symbolizing the winery’s deep commitment to tradition and innovation. Within it lies a secret cellar where guests enjoy a guided tasting of the winery’s finest treasures.
At Angélica – Cocina Maestra, the on-site restaurant awarded a Michelin Star for culinary excellence and a Green Star for sustainability, diners can also visit the underground distillery, a rare gem that completes the winery’s luxurious offering.
The Adrianna Vineyard, planted at 1,500 m.a.s.l., produces wines that have been awarded several 100-point ratings and is hailed as the "Grand Cru of South America". In 2023, Catena Zapata was chosen as the World’s Best Vineyard, and in 2024 it joined the World’s Best Vineyards Hall of Fame.
Led by Laura Catena, the project goes beyond winemaking. The Catena Institute of Wine drives scientific research, education and innovation, setting Argentina’s wine industry at the forefront globally.
