MENDOZA, ARGENTINA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/20/12 -- The Vines of Mendoza has announced The Casitas at The Vines Resort & Spa, the company's newest development in the midst of its Private Vineyard Estates, are now available for purchase. Combining top-of-the-line experiences and comfort, these private residences are nestled within The Vines of Mendoza's 1,000 acres of vineyards at the foot of the Andes, surrounded by breathtaking views.

Opening in December 2012, the Casitas are located within The Vines Resort & Spa, a luxury destination resort encompassing a full service, sophisticated atmosphere for those with both refined and rugged tastes -- a wine bar, a spa with vinotherapy treatments, a 100+ square meter pool, and a restaurant for all to enjoy. In this first phase, 22 one and two bedroom luxury vacation residences are available for purchase with prices ranging from $350,000 to $900,000 USD. Custom purchase options are available including packages with one acre of vineyards, and custom winemaking in our on-site winery.

"The Casitas at The Vines Resort & Spa is a very attractive purchase option for wine enthusiasts, adventure seekers, nature lovers, and those looking to relax," states Michael Evans, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of The Vines of Mendoza. "Mendoza offers fantastic opportunities to get away from it all in the rugged and breathtaking beauty of Mendoza's Uco Valley. The ability to purchase a Casita and vineyard in this environment is quite unique."

Bormida & Yanzón, architects for the project, are a widely respected firm in Argentina, specializing in modern design. In addition, The Vines Resort & Spa reflects the vision and passion of Pablo Gimenez Riili and Michael Evans, Co-Founders of The Vines of Mendoza, Noel & Terry Neelands, resort partners, and landscape architect, Eduardo Vera.

For those looking to the Casitas as a home away from home, the vacation residence will be equipped with luxurious furnishings and a sophisticated finish. With stunning views from each residence, many may choose to enjoy their Malbec on their own private deck. In addition, guest services will be available 24/7.

Those who prefer sports and adventure will find many activities right outside their door. The Uco Valley is a unique place for horseback riding near a volcano, white water rafting, hiking, fly fishing, polo, and bike tours; or simply trail running right through the vineyards.

Those seeking a relaxing spa experience will have many options as well. In addition to vinotherapy beauty treatments, guests can attend yoga classes in the vineyards, exercise in the state-of-the-art fitness center, or simply lounge in the pool with a majestic backdrop of the Andes.
