History
Opened in 2005 as Cavas Wine Lodge on a 55-acre vineyard in Luján de Cuyo, this Spanish-colonial wine lodge joined Relais & Châteaux in 2007 and became one of Argentina's best-known wine-country stays. Awasi acquired it in 2025 and folded in the brand's fully hosted model: each villa is assigned a private guide and 4x4. Seventeen villas and rooms each have a plunge pool, terrace, and fireplace. The estate bottles wine from its own vines, and the kitchen cooks from a lodge garden.
