OVERVIEW \ WINE REGION guesthouse with rooms starting at $165
La Morada is a private vineyard real-estate project and vacation rental in the foothills of the Andes and in the heart of Argentine wine country. Situated just an hour from Mendoza in the up-and-coming Vale de Uco wine region, La Morada is a self-contained lodge-style accommodation with 4 double rooms, wine cave, shared living and dining areas, fireplace, full kitchen and outdoor terrace facing the mountains. There is a pool on the property as well as bicycles for guests to ride and explore.
NOTEWORTHY
Apart from the spectacular vineyard setting and relaxing lodge accommodation, La Morada is directly across the road from acclaimed Argentine Chef, Francis Mallman's restaurant Siete Fuegos featuring seasonal gourmet gastronomy and an excellent local wine list. Guests can also access horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, and hot springs within the same region.

NEED TO KNOW
Be prepared for warm temperatures during the day and cooler mountain temperatures at night. Always bring cash rather than rely on your credit card as most attractions in the area are cash only.
