In San Rafael Mendoza Hotel
The fusion was created by owner Ricardo Jurado, a native Argentinean
whose family history is interlaced with professional golf. Both his
grandfather and father were golf pros; his grandfather made history
losing to Tommy Armour at the British Open in Carnoustie in 1931. His
ancestry helped Ricardo to recognize a missing niche in the San Rafael
region and decided to combine two of my passions, golf and wine. As
we were related with the golf world, we thought golfers would love to
know San Rafael and would enjoying coming in
contact with the wine world.”
Mendoza is the Spanish word for
cotton. Ricardo’s idea for the name came from
the qualities of material; the pureness of the
cotton is transferable to our style of life, with
simplicity and sophistication. Algodon means to
live intensely, looking for the best in the past
and future, while living in a deep and respectful
present.To live 100%”
These ideals are present in the vibe of the resort. When creating the
business, Ricardo involved the people that had been living on the land,
offering them caretaking positions and homes. Showing respect to the
inhabitants of the area has proven wise. The caretakers have put their
heart and back into the once arid landscape to create a thriving
vineyard.The soil now supports nine different varieties of grapes. These
grapes yield the delectable wines produced on the property bodega
and served at the upscale resort restaurant.
The savory wines are just one aspect of the luxuries offered at
Algodon. The current Mendoza Golf course offers golf lessons and a pro
shop. The house chef and lodge manager, Diego Coll Benegas, offers a
traditional Argentine cooking class that intertwines creative design and

time-honored cooking methods, such as barbecuing with a wood fire.
Tours and excursions of the area are offered to guests. For
entertainment, there is a monthly golf
tournament combined with live music
and an art gallery. To help entice the
traveler, they offer a fifth night free to
visitors staying in the newly remodeled
lodge.
Algodon also has impressive plans for the
future. There are currently five new
suites being added to the rustic lodge. In
March, further expansion plans will come
into effect with an additional nine holes
being added to the existing golf course.
Two Polo courts and eight tennis courts are also being constructed on
the property. In the not-so-distant future there are plans for an 18-hole
continuation of the golf course, which will make it the second 36-hole
golf course in the nation.
One other aspect that is being added this year to the Algodon Resort
that is unique is the ability to buy in. The Real Estate Argentina allows
the wine connoisseur or average Joe to become part of a profitable,
transparent business. Algodon will be offering individual lots and other
producing vineyards.The administration is also available for property
management for the absentee owner. Ricardo’s belief is that the
individual lots and farms will show what it means to live the
Argentinean lifestyle, combining major sports and the enjoyable
production of wine, fruits and olive oil.
Algodon is a rare find for the tourist and a unique opportunity for an
investor. Ricardo’s ability to combine the pleasures of golf, wine and
