Awasi Mendoza
In the heart of Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Awasi Mendoza occupies an estate surrounded by vineyards at the foot of the Andes. The property has 17 private villas, set in a remarkably peaceful environment and designed to maintain a constant relationship with the landscape.
The experience combines the world of wine with Awasi's distinctive philosophy: deeply personalized stays, private explorations and attentive service. Each day can be designed around the traveler's interests, from winery visits and tastings to trekking in the Andes, cycling through vineyards or culinary experiences.
Rather than operating as a traditional wine hotel, Awasi seeks to connect guests with the territory, its culture and its producers, making Mendoza a much broader experience than a succession of winery visits.
Location
Awasi Mendoza is located in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, one of Mendoza's most renowned wine regions, surrounded by wineries with the Andes as a backdrop. Its location makes it easy to combine visits around Luján de Cuyo with excursions to the Uco Valley and the mountains.
The Accommodation
The property has 17 independent rooms, suites and villas, surrounded by vineyards and vegetation. Some categories extend to 90 m² and feature private terraces or balconies, with a relaxed aesthetic inspired by the local landscape.
The architecture draws on colonial references and traditional building techniques, with patios and outdoor spaces that reinforce the sense of retreat. Awasi Mendoza is also a member of Relais & Châteaux.
The cuisine is led by chef Samanta Lugo and works with produce from the garden, regional ingredients and Argentine recipes reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The experience is complemented by wines, tastings and meals arranged both at the lodge and during excursions.
Why We Like It
Because it combines two things Mendoza does exceptionally well—wine and landscape—without turning the experience into a rigid tasting itinerary.
We appreciate the way Awasi brings its personalized approach to Mendoza. The ability to alternate a landmark winery with an Andean walk, a leisurely lunch among vineyards or a private tasting gives the stay far greater depth.
It is an excellent choice for travelers seeking privacy, gastronomy, wine and nature, with a high level of service but none of the formality of a traditional resort.
