Mendoza, Argentina (November 14, 2024) – SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites, the luxury boutique hotel by Argentina’s first female winemaker, Susana Balbo, and her daughter, Ana Lovagilo Balbo, now offers a Wine Immersion. Crafted for wine enthusiasts seeking a complete sensory journey, this exclusive stay provides guests with a curated, all-encompassing exploration of Mendoza’s rich wine culture through the legacy and insights of the Susana Balbo family. From private winemaking expeditions—featuring behind-the-scenes visits to some of the region’s top wineries—to in-suite wine-based wellness treatments, tastings in the hotel’s intimate tasting room, and an aromatic evening turn-down service in iconic wine egg tub, every detail is designed to celebrate the finest of Mendoza’s wine world within SB Winemaker’s House’s elegant setting.
Guests will be welcomed with a glass of wine and a relaxing 15-minute massage upon arrival to the hotel, setting the tone for a stay where wine takes center stage. An unforgettable dining experience awaits at the hotel’s MICHELIN-recommended La VidA Restaurant, where Executive Chef Flavia Amad pairs a 7-course tasting menu with wines selected by the Susana Balbo family to elevate every flavor. Guests can then choose from private winemaking expeditions or guided winery tours exclusively curated by the Susana Balbo family for hotel guests based on a preferred theme. Options include Legends of Winemaking for visits to Mendoza’s most historic wineries, Innovative Wineries showcasing groundbreaking approaches in Argentine viticulture, and Hidden Gems featuring lesser-known estates that embody the region’s spirit, among others. Each tour includes special access, private tastings, and intimate insights into the philosophies that shape Mendoza’s wine legacy.
Back at the hotel, guests can retreat to their spa suites to enjoy an in-suite wine-based wellness treatment, such as the Deluxe SB Frutos De La Vid Ritual. As the only hotel in South America with fully integrated spa suites, SB Winemaker’s House offers this three-hour treatment featuring a grape seed scrub, hydrating red wine mud wrap, and a relaxing full-body massage, all with locally-sourced ingredients. Each evening concludes with an aromatic bath turn-down prepared in the in-suite tub, shaped like the concrete egg wine tanks used in the fermentation process. Additional package inclusions feature a hearty breakfast with local specialties and homemade breads, plus airport transfers—all coordinated by the hotel’s Experience Manager for a seamless, personalized stay.
With rates starting at $1,663 USD per night based on double occupancy and including all of the aforementioned activities, the Wine Immersion experience is available with a minimum stay of two nights. Guests staying two nights can enjoy one exclusive winemaking expedition, while a three-night stay includes two distinct expeditions.
