The Vines Resort & Spa

Location
Set at the foot of the Andes in the heart of Mendoza’s Uco Valley, The Vines offers one of those rare places where time slows down. Surrounded by 1,500 acres of private vineyards and framed by snow-capped peaks, it’s wonderfully peaceful yet just a scenic 90-minute drive from the city.

Rooms
The villas are beautifully done - modern,, with warm textures and wide glass walls that bring the landscape in. Each has its own terrace (many with outdoor tubs or fire pits), and the views over the vines to the mountains are hard to beat. Guests love the open-plan living spaces, the stillness, and the feeling of total privacy – whether you’re watching the sun rise with a coffee or stargazing from the rooftop.

Amenities
This is a place to slow down and indulge. There’s a serene spa and wellness area, complete with hot and cold plunge pools, private treatment rooms and vineyard-side yoga. The infinity pool makes the most of the views, and there’s a lovely, relaxed wine bar and terrace when you don’t want to stray too far.

Activities
You’ll find as much or as little to do as you like. There’s hands-on winemaking, guided tastings, and harvest experiences for those curious about the craft – or you can simply explore on foot, by bike, or even on horseback with a local gaucho. From fly-fishing to starry-night dinners, everything is designed to feel effortless and immersive.

Sustainability
The Vines has been thoughtfully designed to work with the land, from using natural building materials to championing small-batch winemaking and local producers. Their in-house Vines Foundation collaborates closely with local municipalities and vineyard owners to champion initiatives across health, education, food security and even a rescue dog shelter in the Tunuyán area.
