Cavas Wine Lodge

Just perfect! This stylish hotel has everything you would dream of for a stay in the Mendoza region The adobe houses are delightful with private gardens and pool The staff in particular were really excellent, they were friendly, enthusiastic and willing to please I loved it !

Wonderful experience, no mater what we requested the Answear was always “Yes, of course we can do that for you” highly recommended for anyone visiting Mendoza. This was our second stay here, and I know we will return.

Our stay at Awasi Mendoza was nothing short of extraordinary—an experience defined by impeccable service, breathtaking surroundings, and thoughtful, highly personalized touches at every turn. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a glass of champagne and genuine warmth that immediately set the tone for our stay. The hospitality here feels effortless yet deeply personal—every detail anticipated, every request handled with grace, and every interaction marked by sincerity and care. During an unexpected and severe storm, the team demonstrated exceptional attentiveness, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout. Their thoughtful gesture of delivering a beautifully curated cheese board and champagne to our villa transformed what could have been a disruption into a memorable moment. The Vendimia experience was a true highlight—harvesting grapes, participating in the traditional stomping, and then enjoying an exquisite dinner that celebrated the region’s culinary excellence. It was both authentic and elegantly executed. Each morning began with sweeping views of the Andes, and our private rooftop quickly became a sanctuary—perfect for quiet coffee at sunrise and fireside nightcaps under the stars, with the team always seamlessly attending to every detail. What makes Awasi truly exceptional is how personal the experience feels from beginning to end. As we departed, the staff gathered to wave goodbye—such a simple yet meaningful gesture that perfectly captured the heart behind everything they do. The entire experience is beyond special. Awasi Mendoza has created a rare balance of refined luxury, sense of place, and heartfelt hospitality. We left feeling completely restored and are already looking forward to returning. With special thanks to Myara at breakfast, Julián the sommelier, Luciano during dinner service, and Paola at the front desk and of course Veronica, the General Manager —each of whom contributed meaningfully to an unforgettable stay.

I've waited a couple of weeks to collect my thoughts on the incredible experience I had at Awasi Mendoza. This was such a remarkable trip! Before booking, I was deciding between Awasi, The Vines, and Chozos. I was going through a bit of a life transition, and this solo trip to Argentina was a gift to myself. I wanted the Mendoza portion of my journey to be something special. I ultimately chose Awasi because I was looking for a highly curated experience that would help me truly appreciate everything the Mendoza region has to offer. I also opted for their “fully hosted” package, and while I wasn’t sure at first whether it would feel worth it as a solo traveler, I can confidently say I was very glad I splurged. It elevated my entire stay. One of the highlights of the fully hosted experience is having a dedicated travel planner who helped build an itinerary tailored to my interests and coordinated all of the reservations. Because Awasi (formerly Cavas Wine Lodge) has strong relationships with wineries and restaurants throughout the region, they were able to secure tastings at all of my preferred wineries (even though I planned this trip only about two weeks before I arrived). Every experience was private and accompanied by a guide/driver, which made the experience feel very personal and effortless. Some of the standout activities that they coordinated for me included: - Private tastings at top wineries in the Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley regions with one-on-one guides from sommeliers and wine experts (perfect for someone like me who asks a lot of questions!) along with lunches at Michelin-starred wineries/restaurants - A hike to Quebrada del Cóndor - A horseback ride through the Awasi vineyards upon arrival, which helped introduce me to the region’s agriculture and history - A wonderful on-site cooking class with Chef Vicky, who helped me perfect my empanada-folding skills - A visit to Laur for an olive oil and vinegar tour and tasting (not to be missed) - A last-minute deep-tissue massage at the spa, seamlessly arranged by the team I won't go too much into the details of the property itself but it is nothing short of magical. The villas, grounds, and shared spaces are incredibly luxurious and impeccably maintained. I could stay here and never leave the grounds. The food was another major standout. Many visitors to Mendoza are eager to dine at the region’s Michelin-starred restaurants. My recommendation would be to schedule them for lunch and enjoy Awasi’s restaurant for dinner. Each dinner offers both a set menu and a multi-course tasting menu that changes nightly highlighting what is fresh/seasonal, and central to Mendocino cuisine. What made the meals even more special was the staff’s deep knowledge of the food they served. The servers were all able to answer my questions as if they were the chefs who crafted the recipes and prepared the food themselves. The sommeliers, Frederico and Julian, were also incredibly present and generous. Frederico has a world of experience in the wine industry. And you can tell Julian finds much joy in the work that he does and was excited to talk wine. He even offered off-menu samples simply out of excitement to share. The service at Awasi far exceeded even the high expectations that come with a property of this caliber. Everyone was warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling overbearing or inauthentic. I would return to Awasi simply to be around these people again. A huge thank you to Luana, Vicky, Kevin, Paloma, Paula, Costanza, and Sofia for making my stay so special. Thank you as well to the management team, including Victoria and Veronica, for their exceptional hospitality. And finally, a huge hug and heartfelt thanks to Yesica, my guide throughout the trip. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful company each day. Awasi Mendoza is a deeply personal, beautifully curated experience...not just a luxury resort. For anyone looking for something intimate, restorative, and unforgettable in Mendoza, I cannot recommend Awasi highly enough.

My husband said that if he had one week to live this is where he’d choose to spend it - which hopefully tells you everything! Beautiful, great food and amazing staff.
