Awasi Mendoza

Located at the foothills of the snow-dusted Andes Mountains, Awasi Mendoza sits in the heart of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, on a wine estate surrounded by some of the finest wineries in Argentina’s wine country. 

With vineyards at its feet, the lodge invites you to uncover the region’s rich winemaking heritage. Join vintners during the grape harvest (around February to April) and learn about their traditional techniques. You can also visit Luján de Cuyo’s most prestigious wineries and taste velvety vintages with expert sommeliers. During your stay, you’re accompanied by a private guide to explore the wine region on your own schedule. 

Other experiences include hand-picking olives during the harvest season (typically around late April or early May) and tasting the vivid green oil crafted at the lodge. You can even master flaky, buttery empanadas in a guided cooking class or hike the tallest mountain in South America: Mount Aconcagua. 

Each of Awasi Mendoza’s villas is a tranquil retreat, dotted across the 55-acre estate for ultimate privacy. Interiors are elegant and cosy, featuring fireplaces and décor that reflects the local culture. Outside, a plunge pool invites languid afternoon laps. As the evening nears, head to your private roof terrace to watch the sun’s gold rays melt over the Andes. 

After a day’s adventure in Argentina’s wine country, unwind at the spa with a grape seed-infused treatment. Then head to the restaurant for a nourishing farm-to-table dinner, perfectly paired with one of the estate’s wines. The cuisine captures the taste of the land, shifting with the seasons and drawing inspiration from the ingredients grown in the lodge’s organic garden. Savour your meal as you gaze upon the rows of vines that stretch out as far as the eye can see.
