The Vines Resort & Spa: A Vineyard Hideaway in the Uco Valley

The Vines Resort & Spa is one of the great wine-country retreats of the Southern Hemisphere, a resort of private villas set among the vines of the high-altitude Uco Valley in Mendoza, with the snow-capped Andes filling the horizon. Each villa looks out over its own vineyard, and guests can even make their own wine on the estate.

The dining is a destination in itself. Francis Mallmann's Siete Fuegos, the signature restaurant of Argentina's most celebrated chef, showcases the best of Argentine cuisine and wine through the open-flame 'seven fires' techniques of the gauchos; and the Bar & Cava pours from hundreds of regional and international wines with small plates.

For a gastronomic wine-country stay in Mendoza, The Vines is a benchmark.
