We’re marking four unforgettable milestones:
• 5 years of The Vines Foundation and The Vines Global
• 10 years of The Vines Resort & Spa
• 20 years of The Vines of Mendoza
• And Michael’s 60th birthday
To celebrate, we’re taking over The Vines for a weekend of wine, fire, music, and memories—surrounded by the people who made it all possible.
This special gathering supports The Vines Foundation and its capital campaign for the The Vines Community Center—a space rooted in our love for Vista Flores. The Center will serve as a vibrant hub for education, health, nutrition, and vocational training, offering cooking classes, youth programs, and agricultural workshops—all built in partnership with the community it serves.
