Cavas Wine Lodge Hotel

Located in the heart of one of the world’s great wine capitals Uco Valley, Cavas Wine Lodge is the first of its kind in South America. Blessed by the natural beauty of Mendoza, an idyllic wine growing region at the foot of the Andes, Cavas Wine Lodge is made up of 18 wonderfully private villas scattered among the lodge’s 55 acre vineyard. While the lodge’s surroundings may suggest that you are a million miles away from the rest of the world, it is actually the most accessible of Mendoza’s wine lodges; it is only 41 kilometres to the airport and just 31 kilometres to the city centre of Mendoza.

If you’re up for it, you could even take a bicycle tour through the wineries.

These include horseback riding in the Andes, paragliding from Cerro Arco, white water rafting on the Mendoza river, taking a dip in the Cacheuta thermal baths, fly fishing on the foothills of the Andes, and so much more.
