Our orchards

In Southern Crops by Rio Alara we produce the best cherries in the southern hemisphere thanks to the outstanding work of our staff and the location of our farms, which offers us excellent conditions for the development of our cherry trees.

We begin at “Alto Agrelo” in Mendoza, land historically well known for being the largest producer of cherries in the country by taking advantage of providing highy quality fruit from early in the season.

Then, in the valley of Los Antiguos, Santa Cruz province, we benefit from a very special microclimate that offers excellent qualities for the development of cherry production.
