Background
With vines dating back to 1946, when it served as a private vineyard estate, this remarkable property was redeveloped in 2002 by the grandson of golf legend José Jurado; “The father of Argentine Professional Golf”. Jurado established “Viñas del Golf”; a boutique family winery, golf course, and petite hotel lodge situated in a fully-restored 1921 farmhouse.
In 2007, the 718 acre property was purchased and renamed by the U.S. based development firm, Algodon Wines & Luxury Development Group, who expanded the estate by nearly triple its acreage to over 2,050 acres.
