SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites
After four decades dedicated to the wine industry and numerous international recognitions, Argentina’s renowned winemaker Susana Balbo created the bespoke estate and luxury boutique hotel SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites in the famed wine region of Mendoza.
Opening this unique bespoke wine vacation destination with her daughter, Ana Lovaglio Balbo, is a dream come true. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about and appreciate her outstanding wines, but also will enjoy curated culinary experiences ,among thought-provoking art, and wellness opportunities.
This property was recently awarded the distinguished Two MICHELIN Keys. “This award is not only about luxury, it’s also about meaning and telling a story,” said Ana Lovaglio Balbo, Co-Founder of the hotel. “We wanted to craft an experience that feels deeply personal and rooted in place. Receiving two MICHELIN Keys reinforces that true hospitality is about connection, to the land, to culture, and to each other.”
