One of the keys to the success of wine tourism, besides the wines and food, are the hotels located in wineries and vineyards, as they allow tourists to wake up in a different way and enjoy themselves at all times, amidst a natural and relaxing environment.
Indeed, nowadays wineries offer multiple experiences around wine enjoyment, and while gastronomy is one of the most important and well-developed complements, it is not the only one. The pleasure of resting and enjoying the nature offered by the wine landscape has led to the emergence of many lodges and boutique hotels among the vines. In this article, we select the top 10 accommodations among Mendoza's wineries and vineyards.
"There is nothing better for a wine lover than sleeping in a winery."
Just as more and more wineries are incorporating gastronomy into their offerings to make the visit complete and loyalty more effective, there are increasingly more places to stay among the vineyards. And while winery restaurants today are no longer just a complement but a content in themselves, and as such have the same aspirations as the best examples of high-end dining in Buenos Aires, there is nothing better for a wine lover than sleeping in a winery.
Because a wine enthusiast who takes the trouble to come to the place where some of their favorite wines are made deserves to be treated in the best way possible. That's why in recent years, the proposal for lodging among vineyards has grown exponentially, as, although the city of Mendoza is attractive, nature, the Andes, and the vineyards offer a natural environment as different as it is unforgettable.
Why choose a hotel in a winery?
Mendoza is large, and that means the distances to travel between winery and winery are always significant, usually more than 30 minutes. And while the epicenter is the city, more and more tourists choose to stay in winery hotels and make all their visits from there. That's why, before planning a tour, it's important to be clear about the starting point and also how many places you want to visit per day. Because each visit is tiring, and if you add meals and wines to that, the day becomes long.
Therefore, it's best to make a visit near noon to a winery, with a tour and tasting included, and in the evening dine at another nice place. This way, the day will be very productive, and fatigue will never be a threat to enjoyment and fun.
Another key point is understanding that there are many "poles" of wineries with diverse attractions to visit in different regions and sub-regions.
"That's why it's advisable to leave and return to the hotel when the distance is less than an hour, or leave in the late morning and return at night when the destination is more than an hour and a half from the hotel."
