Cavas Wine Lodge.

Now operating as Awasi Mendoza, this secluded retreat pioneered the concept of luxury vineyard lodging in the Alto Agrelo region. Situated at the base of the Andes about 45 minutes south of the city, the property consists of private villas scattered throughout a working organic vineyard. The architecture focuses on the mountain horizon, with each suite featuring a private plunge pool and a rooftop terrace for watching the sunset over the peaks. The experience is deeply tied to its estate-grown fruit, from the sommelier-led tastings of their own labels to vinotherapy treatments in the spa, including baths infused with Bonarda grapes. Guests can explore the surrounding wine roads on lodge bicycles, though the on-site restaurant—celebrated for its farm-to-table asados and seasonal Mendoza flavors—makes a strong case for never leaving the grounds.
