Which province has Cafayate as a major center?

Cafayate is a major wine center in Salta province, located in the Calchaquí Valley in northwestern Argentina. The high-altitude, dry climate with big day-to-night temperature swings helps produce distinctive, aromatic Torrontés and high‑altitude Malbec wines, making Cafayate a standout within Salta. The other provinces listed—La Rioja, Mendoza, and San Juan—are important wine regions, but Cafayate itself sits in Salta, not in those provinces.
