Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Valle de Concepción combines winegrowing with cultural themes that shape a visit in different ways: tastings and a tour of an estate sit alongside a wine-themed park and a restored church. When choosing a holiday rental, you can first consider whether you mainly want to explore wine culture, Chapaca culture, or both. The wider destination of Tarija also offers other distinct nature and food-and-drink experiences.

Winegrowing and Tastings

Valle de Concepción lies 25 km from the city of Tarija and is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Department of Tarija. It is a significant winegrowing area with the department’s largest area of vineyards; some of Bolivia’s most important wineries are also located in the valley. Wine is therefore a defining theme of the place, alongside its cultural offerings.

Wine tastings are offered at the artisanal winery. Wine tourism experiences also include a tour of the estate and tastings of its own wines. If you plan to take part in these activities, confirm the current arrangements before your visit.

Local Cultural Themes

The small wine-themed Valle D’Vino park is located in the municipality of Uriondo and includes more than 40 cultural and wine-related attractions. It therefore offers a different focus from La Casa Vieja: there, a winery, tastings, and a tour come together, while Valle D’Vino features a variety of cultural and wine-related attractions.

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción in Uriondo (Valle de la Concepción) is also part of the area’s cultural character. It was restored in 2019 and is located on Calle 6 de Julio. La Casa Vieja is also associated with cultural events on weekends that showcase Chapaca culture. Before visiting, check which events are currently taking place; the programs are not specified in greater detail.

Tarija as a Wider Travel Horizon

In the wider destination of Tarija, the Ruta del Singani Artesanal y los Molinos de Piedra offers another perspective on artisanal beverages. At Bodega Artesanal El Galeán, visitors can learn about the production of artisanal Singani and take part in a guided tasting. The route is located in Sub Central de Yesera, in the municipality of Tarija. Availability may vary depending on the season and organized route, so check the current arrangements.

The natural character of the Department of Tarija includes the Reserva Biológica de la Cordillera de Sama, with steep slopes, plateaus, and high-Andean lagoons. At Laguna Pujzara Tajzara, visitors can watch birds and hike along the shore. This landscape and the activities mentioned there form a distinct nature-focused experience within the wider destination of Tarija, separate from the wine and cultural themes of Valle de Concepción.
