Awasi, la marca chilena de lodges de lujo con guía privado y vehículo asignado por villa, relanzó en noviembre de 2025 la antigua Cavas Wine Lodge de Agrelo, en Luján de Cuyo, bajo el nombre Awasi Mendoza. La adquisición, anunciada en mayo de 2025, incorpora al portafolio de la marca una finca de cerca de 55 acres que fue uno de los primeros lodges de enoturismo de lujo de Latinoamérica y miembro de Relais & Châteaux. Las 17 villas privadas se mantienen, ahora con guía y 4x4 propios y nuevas incorporaciones como un espacio de cocina a fuego abierto y un spa ampliado.

Precio de entrada Desde US$890 Más información → El lugar El lodge ocupa una finca de cerca de 55 acres de viñedos en Agrelo, dentro del departamento de Luján de Cuyo, en el corazón de la región vitivinícola de Mendoza y a los pies de la cordillera de los Andes. La propiedad está a unos 25 minutos del centro de la ciudad de Mendoza y a 40 minutos del aeropuerto internacional, en una zona de bodegas boutique y paisajes de viñedos con la cordillera de fondo.
El concepto Awasi Mendoza no parte de cero: ocupa el edificio y los viñedos de Cavas Wine Lodge, uno de los primeros lodges de lujo enfocados en enoturismo de alto nivel en Latinoamérica y miembro de Relais & Châteaux. En mayo de 2025 la marca chilena de lodges de lujo Awasi (presente además en el desierto de Atacama, la Patagonia chilena, Iguazú y Santa Catarina, en Brasil) anunció la adquisición de la propiedad, y desde el 1 de noviembre de 2025 opera bajo su modelo característico: cada una de las 17 villas privadas cuenta con guía propio y vehículo 4x4 asignado en exclusiva, con itinerarios diseñados a medida en lugar de un programa de actividades compartido. La reconversión conserva la arquitectura de inspiración española del lodge original y suma un nuevo espacio de cocina a fuego abierto, una ampliación del spa y una renovación de los interiores del restaurante.
Gastronomía y bienestar El restaurante mantiene una cocina de estación con verduras de huerta propia y una carta centrada en los vinos de la finca y de Luján de Cuyo, con catas dirigidas y cursos de enología. El spa ofrece tratamientos de vinoterapia, sauna, jacuzzi y solárium, y el programa de actividades incluye cabalgatas hacia la cordillera, salidas de trekking con guía privado, la Vendimia (cosecha, entre marzo y abril) y visitas a bodegas boutique del Valle de Uco.
Nuestra opinión Lo que cambia con el paso a Awasi no es la finca ni las 17 villas, esas se mantienen intactas, sino la capa operativa: guía y 4x4 fijos por villa en lugar de un menú de excursiones compartidas, un modelo que la marca ya aplica en el desierto de Atacama o en Iguazú y que aquí se traslada a un entorno de viñedos donde Cavas Wine Lodge ya ofrecía visitas privadas a bodegas y catas a medida. La pregunta honesta es cuánto de esa promesa de exclusividad es una diferencia real de experiencia frente a lo que el lodge original ya hacía bien, y cuánto es una capa de marca, y de precio, sobre una propiedad cuya arquitectura, viñedos y ubicación no han cambiado.

I hardly ever write reviews, but not getting to write one for Awasi Mendoza would be a travesty as it is the nicest hotel experience I’ve had in my life.
From pickup, each tour guide and/or driver is beyond thoughtful as our guide, Joaquin, went out of his way to bring me medialunas (from Jebb’s) to experience because he overheard that I loved medialunas.
The hospitality extends beyond the tour guides to the hotel staff. I experienced really bad allergies when I arrived, and one of the hotel staffers heard me blowing my nose during dinner and brought me a box of tissues. Additionally, the next morning, they made a special herb tea concoction to help reduce my symptoms. (Also hopefully this serves as a great reminder to pack your allergies medicine)
The food is beyond divine. They have excellent sommeliers to make thoughtful pairings for every dish. One of my favorite Malbecs was recommended by Julian, who further explained the wine with intricate details, which is always helpful for someone who is a wine novice like myself.
The accommodations were great; very cozy and spacious! The amenities like the rooftop terrace makes it even more splendid.
The staff at Awasi Mendoza are beyond hospitable and I’d almost consider some of them as friends by the end. Overall, the experience is beyond exquisite and enchanting…¡Que manzo!

Me and my wife stayed there for her birthday, it was simply the best stay we ever had anywhere in the world. The staff was amazing, they made everything so personal, it was incredible. Food was delicious and their wine is really good. Definetely coming back.
I've waited a couple of weeks to collect my thoughts on the incredible experience I had at Awasi Mendoza. This was such a remarkable trip!
Before booking, I was deciding between Awasi, The Vines, and Chozos. I was going through a bit of a life transition, and this solo trip to Argentina was a gift to myself. I wanted the Mendoza portion of my journey to be something special. I ultimately chose Awasi because I was looking for a highly curated experience that would help me truly appreciate everything the Mendoza region has to offer. I also opted for their “fully hosted” package, and while I wasn’t sure at first whether it would feel worth it as a solo traveler, I can confidently say I was very glad I splurged. It elevated my entire stay.
One of the highlights of the fully hosted experience is having a dedicated travel planner who helped build an itinerary tailored to my interests and coordinated all of the reservations. Because Awasi (formerly Cavas Wine Lodge) has strong relationships with wineries and restaurants throughout the region, they were able to secure tastings at all of my preferred wineries (even though I planned this trip only about two weeks before I arrived). Every experience was private and accompanied by a guide/driver, which made the experience feel very personal and effortless. Some of the standout activities that they coordinated for me included:
- Private tastings at top wineries in the Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley regions with one-on-one guides from sommeliers and wine experts (perfect for someone like me who asks a lot of questions!) along with lunches at Michelin-starred wineries/restaurants
- A hike to Quebrada del Cóndor
- A horseback ride through the Awasi vineyards upon arrival, which helped introduce me to the region’s agriculture and history
- A wonderful on-site cooking class with Chef Vicky, who helped me perfect my empanada-folding skills
- A visit to Laur for an olive oil and vinegar tour and tasting — absolutely not to be missed
- A last-minute deep-tissue massage at the spa, seamlessly arranged by the team
I won't go too much into the details of the property itself but it is nothing short of magical. The villas, grounds, and shared spaces are incredibly luxurious and impeccably maintained. I could stay here and never leave the grounds.
The food was another major standout. Many visitors to Mendoza are eager to dine at the region’s Michelin-starred restaurants. My recommendation would be to schedule them for lunch and enjoy Awasi’s restaurant for dinner. Each dinner offers both a set menu and a multi-course tasting menu that changes nightly highlighting what is fresh/seasonal, and central to Mendocino cuisine. What made the meals even more special was the staff’s deep knowledge of the food they served. The servers were all able to answer my questions as if they were the chefs who crafted the recipes and prepared the food themselves. The sommeliers, Frederico and Julian, were also incredibly present and generous. Frederico has a world of experience in the wine industry. And you can tell Julian finds much joy in the work that he does and was excited to talk wine. He even offered off-menu samples simply out of excitement to share.
The service at Awasi far exceeded even the high expectations that come with a property of this caliber. Everyone was warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling overbearing or inauthentic. I would return to Awasi simply to be around these people again. A huge thank you to Luana, Vicky, Kevin, Paloma, Paula, Costanza, and Sofia for making my stay so special. Thank you as well to the management team, including Victoria and Veronica, for their exceptional hospitality. And finally, a huge hug and heartfelt thanks to Yesica, my guide throughout the trip — so knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful company each day.
Awasi Mendoza is a deeply personal, beautifully curated experience...not just a luxury resort. For anyone looking for something intimate, restorative, and unforgettable in the heart of Mendoza, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
This place is like paradise. From the attentive and gracious service to the spectacular views and the world class cuisine, this should be on your bucket list. We can't say enough about the staff who all speak excellent English and make it their goal to provide an exceptional experience. The private Casitas with plunge pools, outdoor showers, rooftop lounging areas and wood-burning fireplaces make this resort a romantic getaway spot that comes with views of the Andes mountains and the surrounding vineyards. The quiet highlighted by sounds of nature is almost tangible. We enjoyed the spa and never wanted to leave. Every single staff member made us feel welcome and pampered. Special shout-outs to Leo, Paula, Luciano, Maida and especially the sommelier Federico. He is amazing and so knowledgeable. I could go on and on. We are already planning our return trip!
Highly disappointed! A very poor experience. Definitely do not recommend this property. They have a done a great job with their marketing team to place it in the market but their delivery is very poorly executed from all area of the business.
