National wine day is fastly approaching (May 25) and what better way is there to celebrate than a hotel with wine rooted at the core. Nestled in Mendoza’s renowned wine region, SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites offers a luxurious haven for wine enthusiasts, designed by Argentina’s pioneering female winemaker Susana Balbo and her daughter Ana Lovaglio Balbo. The boutique hotel offers unique wine experiences in everything from wellness and culinary to arts and cultural offerings.
Wine Wellness:
SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites is the only luxury wine hotel in Latin America with fully integrated in-room spa features and services in each suite. Each suite features a steam room, sensations shower, locally made bath amenities, and massage table. Four of the seven suites are also equipped with a dry sauna. A turn down service of in room aromatherapy is prepared in the in-suite tub, shaped like the concrete egg wine tanks used in the fermentation process.
Vinotherapeutic Spa Treatments
The spa offers vinotherapy treatments utilizing grapes and grapevine polyphenols. Treatments include Mud Wraps with Red Wine Must, Body Hydration Wraps with Red Wine Cream and Raisins, and the Deluxe SB Frutos De La Vid Ritual.
Ultra-Premium Wine Tastings
The hotel offers an ultra-premium tasting experience featuring 99 and 100-point rated wines, including Per Se La Craie Gualtallary and Zuccardi Gravascal Malbec. Guided by expert sommeliers, these tastings are paired with regional light bites and enriched with stories behind each bottle’s production.
Culinary Delights and Custom Winemaking
The on-site La VidA Restaurant provides a Chef’s Table experience paired with Susana Balbo’s finest wines. Guests can also create personalized wine blends in custom winemaking classes, bringing home a unique memento of their visit.
Exclusive Wine Experiences and Expeditions
Novel wine expeditions can be arranged by the house’s Experience Curator, from an afternoon horseback ride to an oasis for sparkling wine toast to a full day bike ride to local bodegas in Chacras de Coria. The Experience Curator can also arrange various activities for guests upon request including rafting, tennis, golf, yoga, horseback riding, rappelling, and more.
