Awasi Mendoza Luxury Hotel Argentina
Awasi Mendoza sits at the foot of the Andes in Luján de Cuyo, where the altitude hits 2,500 feet and the arid conditions produce some of the most intense Malbec on earth. The Relais & Châteaux lodge occupies 55 acres of working vineyard, with 17 private villas scattered across the estate, each with a plunge pool, fireplace, rooftop terrace, and Andes-facing views. Every stay is fully tailor-made: each villa comes with its own 4x4 vehicle and a private guide to uncover the region's wineries, trails, and villages at your own pace. Experiences include hand-picking grapes during the March-April harvest, private tastings at boutique Uco Valley wineries, an Andean horseback ride with a ranch breakfast and empanadas on return, and a full-day trek to the base camp of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas. The farm-to-table restaurant draws on an organic garden and estate wines, and the spa offers grape seed treatments and wine baths to restore you from the inside out. The kind of place that redefines what a wine country stay can be.
