To begin, guests select their travel party, preferred dates, and the types of experiences they enjoy—options include wine and gastronomy, spa and wellness, outdoor adventures, or a tailored mix. After preferences are submitted, the hotel’s Experience Manager takes charge and crafts a fully secret itinerary. The resulting schedule remains undisclosed to guests until they arrive on the estate, preserving the surprise while ensuring every element matches stated interests and expectations.
Central to the program is the Experience Manager, a dedicated specialist who designs and safeguards the mystery itinerary. With a minimum lead time of two weeks, the manager coordinates activities, meals, and treatments so each detail fits the group’s profile and desired pace.
Examples of possible inclusions span private vineyard tastings at lesser-known bodegas, immersive chef’s table dinners, sunrise hot-air balloon flights, and intimate spa rituals. Whether guests seek relaxed indulgence, culinary discovery, or active exploration, each Mystery Escape is intended to deliver memorable moments tailored to the group.
The Winemaker’s Mystery Escapes offer a streamlined alternative to traditional trip planning: guests share preferences, leave logistics to local experts, and arrive prepared for a thoughtfully arranged program that still surprises. This approach suits families, groups of friends, corporate retreats, and anyone eager to experience a destination in a fresh, effortless way.
By combining Susana Balbo’s deep wine expertise with curated hospitality and personalized wellness, the offering emphasizes authenticity and attention to detail. Every itinerary is built around the estate’s strengths—its winery heritage, on-site spa, and access to the surrounding landscapes—so surprises feel native to the region while remaining custom to each group.
For travelers who enjoy the thrill of the unknown but want reassurance that activities and amenities will match their tastes, The Winemaker’s Mystery Escapes deliver a refined balance of spontaneity and tailored service. With the Experience Manager handling logistical and creative planning, guests can focus on experiencing the destinations, flavors, and treatments arranged specifically for them.
