SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites invites guests to curated journeys through Mendoza’s most memorable wineries, guided by the Balbo family. The hotel’s wine itineraries are personalized by Susana Balbo, Argentina’s pioneering female winemaker; her son, third‑generation winemaker José Lovaglio Balbo; and her daughter, hotelier and wine tourism specialist Ana Lovaglio Balbo.
Drawing on decades of regional knowledge, these family‑designed wine trips connect visitors with the heritage and philosophy behind each estate. The experiences complement the luxury boutique hotel’s focus on gastronomy, wellness and nature, offering an immersive and educational exploration of Argentine wine culture.

Wineries are selected for their distinct character and ability to deliver varied experiences. Curated categories include Rising Stars of Winemaking, showcasing emerging talent; Innovative Wineries that experiment beyond tradition; Historic Estates that reflect Mendoza’s wine legacy; Women in Wine highlighting female leadership; Green Wineries committed to sustainability; and Hidden Gems offering intimate, lesser‑known encounters.
Each vineyard visit features guided tours focused on the winemaking process, the stories behind labels, and exclusive tastings that often include reserve vintages. Anecdotes from the Balbo family and their extended network bring to life the close‑knit community behind Mendoza’s wine scene.
