In Argentina, it’s the start of Autumn, which means it’s harvest time at the foot of the Andes in Mendoza’s wine country. The Vines Resort & Spa is Mendoza’s ultimate retreat for wine and food lovers and outdoor aficionados. After landing at Governor Francisco Gabrielli International Airport (Mendoza International Airport), The Vines Resort & Spa is a ninety-minute drive south from the city of Mendoza and located in the in the heart of Argentina’s up-and-coming wine growing sub-region, Uco Valley.
The resort sits on 1,500 acres of private vineyard estates, and at every turn, you’re surrounded by breathtaking views of the snowcapped Andes Mountains. All 22 private one- and two-bedroom villas feature fully equipped kitchenettes (not that you’ll have to lift a finger preparing food if you don’t want to), spa-like bathrooms with beautiful natural stone elements, uber-chic interiors (you’ll want to take home every throw and decorative ornament that isn’t nailed down) and private decks with super comfortable lounge seating. It doesn’t hurt that the villas also come with rooftop terraces, indoor and outdoor fireplaces and an outdoor shower, tub or plunge pool.
