Hotel description

Algodon Wine Estates, in the Argentinean province of Mendoza, brings together two of the favorite pastimes of civilized gentlemen (and ladies): fine wine and golf. Those with a predilection for spending half a day swinging clubs and putting on the green, and the other half swirling and sipping glasses of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, will be right at home.

A family of golfers developed the 18-hole golf course and purchased the original Algodon villa in the mid-‘90s. Their dramatic transformation of the rustic adobe house resulted in a contemporary villa-style hotel complete with spacious suites, wireless internet, satellite TV, and a range of stylish amenities. There are throwbacks to the villa’s history in the antique structure, and some welcome modern additions — a fireplace in every room, for example.

A second, recently constructed lodge feels fresher and more modern, but offers a little less antique character — though who’s complaining when every room has a private patio and the stone-tiled bathrooms come with “wine therapy” bath products? An indoor wet bar and two public fireplaces are inviting locales for a nightcap; during the day, chaises around the pool beckon sunbathers, and the courtyard fills with the aroma of grilled meats during the lunchtime asado. Around the villa, olive groves invite an evening stroll.

As one would expect of a resort in a world-famous wine region, the cuisine is a major focus here. The restaurant, featuring a shaded brick patio and rustic pine tables, draws a nightly crowd of guests and non-guests alike with its organic regional Argentinian menu and bottles of Malbec and Bonarda produced onsite at the Algodon vineyards.

Algodon Wine Estates is approximately a 3 hour drive from the city of Mendoza.
