Happy Thanksgiving (and my favorite fall pictures)!

11/24/2015

Hooray - it's Thanksgiving week! For me, this week marks the beginning of a month of celebrations (holidays! birthdays! parties!). Sadly, it also means the end of autumn (well, not officially but all the leaves have fallen and I almost slipped on black ice today so...yeah...winter has arrived in New England). As we bid adieu to our most colorful season, I'll leave you with my favorite pictures from this fall, starting with my sweet little boy:)

Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all!

Dreaming of Cavas Wine Lodge in Mendoza, Argentina

Several years ago we visited Argentina and fell in love with the country - particularly the food, wine and diverse, dramatic landscapes. Regrettably, we didn't visit Mendoza and it remains one of the world's big wine regions we have yet to experience.

I met someone from Argentina the other day that told me about her favorite getaway in Mendoza called the Cavas Wine Lodge. After looking it up online, I was floored and now it's all I can think about! It's a small 18 room boutique hotel located on a 55 acre vineyard set against the Andes mountains. They boast adobe style villas, rooftop fire pits, incredible mountain VIEWS, cozy rooms and award-winning food and wine.

Check out the pictures below and see for yourself. And if any readers have been here, please share your thoughts in the comments section below!

The villas located in the vineyard overlooking the Andes. These villas are pricey, but they get rave reviews! Each one comes with a private roodeck (with fireplace), plunge pool and patio.

The rooms are decorated in a colonial-bohemian style. This one could be the setting of an epic story where artfully dressed characters happen upon each other in the midst of horseback ride in the Andes foothills. Both competitive spirits, they race each other back to the lodge. She wins the race, and his heart, and they enjoy a glass of Malbec together on this oversized velvet chaise.

SWOON!

Imagine enjoying these rooftop fireplaces with a glass of wine, enjoying the sun setting over the Andes! These private villas would be a fun, private getaway for couples, families and groups of friends. You can evan hire a private chef one night to cook for your group. Yes, please.

Stunning sunrise picture from Cavas' Facebook page. Those colors!

They offer many activities to help guests work off all the food & wine - hiking, biking, horseback riding, rafting and zip lining. I love the idea of biking between wineries to fully experience everything the region offers.
