Built in 2017 at the base of the Andes, our Casa was designed by renowned Argentinian Architects 'Bormida y Yanzon’. Our property includes a 3-hectare vineyard and sits adjacent to the award-winning Alfa Crux winery. There are 3 master bedrooms en suite and a separate guest quarters with 2 bedrooms and a bath. The pool and outdoor quincho provide you with a perfect setting for swimming up to your vino and asado. Nearby there is horseback riding, white water rafting, fishing and of course plenty of wine tasting.

When you drive to our house off the main highway you can pass through the village, Eugenio Bustos, which has a small supermarket called Vea right in town along with other specialty shops for bread, vegetables, and meats.

There are many wineries with restaurants in the area. A few recommendations, Siete Fuegos at Vines of Mendoza, a small place called El Paisano which is very cool. For lunch, Bodega La Azul has outdoor seating. The winery, Salentein, is a must-visit with a great restaurant. Casa de Uco is another restaurant option. We also offer Asado menu, trout and paella, Cheese fondue and more options that can be scheduled once you book

The area is rustic and off the grid, as if you have stepped back in time in one sense, but surrounded by beautiful wineries with outstanding food options that rival Napa or the French wine country.

And nothing compares to the views of the snow-capped Andes. Some additional details:
Arriving:
Our house is located within the Alfa Crux (formerly O.Fournier) winery. You will coordinate with Edward Holloway and his hospitality staff at the Alfa Crux on the timing of your arrival so they can provide the keys and general information about the house.

We are a straight shot roughly 90 minutes south of the Mendoza Airport on route 40.

A lot of guests ask, “Should we rent a car”. It depends on your length of stay and what you plan to do. The nearest town is a 5-minute drive to get groceries or supplies. It is also fairly easy to arrange for drivers for tours of wineries and meals in the area. You can reach out to Alfa Crux for help if needed.

Directions:
Our house is situated within the Alfa Crux (O.Fournier) Winery so if you are driving, you should use the winery as your destination while using Google Maps. The address for is Calle Los Indios s/n - 5567 La Consulta - Mendoza, Argentina. Once you arrive at the O.Fournier winery gate where there will be a security guard. Just let him know you are staying at the “3 W’s” home.

It is very easy once you turn into the property. You go straight on the dirt road (it’s all dirt once you are in the winery) after leaving the security gate. You will pass 4 left turns (the winery will be on your right). As you come up to the 5th left turn, you should see the house off to the left. You take that road until it ends and then turn right and you will come up to our driveway. Don’t worry if you miss the fifth turn because the sixth left turn is the end of the road and takes you to the house as well from the other side. We are at the end of the road as they say.

Wineries: There are wineries galore in the 3 valleys of Mendoza, many of which will provide a lunch of dinner. We suggest a reservation and planning ahead. Aside from Alfa Crux/O.Fournier, the next closest is Zuccardi which recently built a beautiful winery and an amazing restaurant just 10 minutes from our house.
Links to some Bodegas we have enjoyed, however, there are new ones popping up all the time so suggest you check your favorite social media sites for ideas. http://www.zuccardiwines.com/home

Restaurants: Most of the wineries including those above have restaurants and many are truly outstanding culinary experiences. The dining experiences range from high-end white table cloth to a family’s house turned restaurant with true home cooking so there is something for everyone.

Eugenio Bustos Basics: The nearest town is 5 minutes away, which you drive-thru to get to the house called Eugenio Bustos. It is a rustic gaucho town but has the essentials, a Bank with ATM’s on the town square (corner of Arenales and Bernardo Quiroga), a large grocery store called Vea (corner San Juan Bosco and 2nd of April), a gas station right next to Vea, a pharmacy and hospital (hopefully not needed) on the southwest corner of the town square a block from the bank. There are also specialty shops like a bakery and butcher in town. You should know that Argentinians take a siesta and shops close between noon and 5 so plan to visit morning or early evening for essentials.

The house also includes nice breakfast every day and cleaning service during the morning, discount for lunch at Alfa Crux and private tour included

Enjoy your Stay –
