Daily

SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites offers guests personalized journeys to Mendoza’s finest wineries from Susana Balbo’s family. Immerse yourself in bespoke wine itineraries recommended by Balbo, Argentina’s first female winemaker; her son and third-generation winemaker, José Lovaglio Balbo; and her daughter, hotelier and wine tourism marketer, Ana Lovaglio Balbo.

As one of the pioneering winemaking families in Mendoza, these handpicked wine trips and the family’s personal connections allow guests to dive deep into the history and philosophy of each winery. This unique experience enhances the luxury boutique hotel’s blend of culinary experiences, wellness and nature, providing an enriching and immersive wine exploration opportunity.

Each winery was carefully selected based on Susana and her family’s unique knowledge of the region and each winery’s ability to provide a diverse and unique experience. The wineries are separated into categories such as Rising Stars of Winemaking, showcasing the next generation of innovators; Innovative Wineries, pushing the boundaries of traditional winemaking; Wineries with History; Women in Wine; Green Wineries, committed to sustainable practices; and Hidden Gems, offering unique and lesser-known experiences.

These curated experiences in picturesque vineyards are accompanied by personalized tours highlighting the winemaking process, the stories behind each label, exclusive tastings of reserve vintages, and anecdotal stories about the close-knit winemaking community and Susana’s family’s deep personal and professional impact.

Each tour is tailored to travelers’ interests and preferences by the hotel’s Experience Manager and can be booked prior to or upon arrival. All bookings are handled so guests just have to sit back, relax and enjoy their custom wine-tasting journey.
