WELCOME

Château d’Ancón is a cultural destination surrounded by vineyards, mountains, and a luminous silence that sets the pace of the place.

Es una residencia con alma, donde el tiempo se mueve distinto y cada instante invita a bajar la velocidad, observar con atención y quedarse un poco más.
Aquí la belleza no se impone: aparece. En la luz que atraviesa los nogales, en la calma del jardín, en una conversación que se estira sin urgencias.

Warm hospitality, a living landscape, and an intact sense of memory coexist in a single gesture. Ancón offers an experience of time and extension, where simply being present is, in itself, a privilege.

Our Wines

We have been crafting mountain wines since 1926.

Our vineyards, located at over 1,400 meters above sea level, grow in an extreme climate, with wide temperature variations and alluvial and aeolian soils. Viticulture is grounded in old vines, manual work, and a precise reading of the land.

We work with micro-vinifications and minimal intervention, seeking freshness, natural acidity, tension, and depth. Each bottle is an honest interpretation of the landscape that surrounds us.

Wine is our language. The mountain is its primary voice.

THE HOUSE

Built in 1933 with materials brought from Europe, the house blends Californian and French influences in an architectural style unique to the Mendoza landscape.

Original furnishings, works of art, Limoges tableware, Baccarat crystal, a century-old library, and a 1914 Steinway & Sons piano coexist naturally. The garden, designed by Carlos Thays, completes the setting.

More than a historic building, the Château is a lived-in museum. Here, memory is not displayed—it is experienced, accompanying the daily life of those who inhabit and visit it.

Living the Château

Living the Château means inhabiting a different sense of time.

The house features four double en-suite rooms and two upstairs bedrooms that share a bathroom, ideal for a family. Each room is intimate, warm, and singular, decorated with original objects and artworks from the Bombal family.

No two rooms are alike. Each offers a unique experience—a journey through time paired with the comfort of contemporary hospitality. Sleeping at Ancón means resting surrounded by history, silence, and mountains.

What to do at the Château

En Ancón, nuestros huéspedes pueden disfrutar de actividades que no responden a un programa rígido ni a una agenda preestablecida. Surgen del lugar, del clima, del momento del día y del ánimo de quienes lo habitan.

We propose experiences that align with the natural rhythm of the valley: walking without haste, sharing a glass, observing the shifting light, listening to the silence of the mountains. This is not about doing more, but about doing better—allowing experience to become memory without forcing it.

GASTRONOMY

Our cuisine is a reading of the landscape through the table.

We work with produce from the Estancia, our own garden, micro-seasonality, and fire. The cooking is clear, honest, and precise. It accompanies the wine and the rhythm of the day, without competing with it.

The table is one of the Château’s most sensitive centers. Each proposal creates a distinct atmosphere, always connected to the surroundings, the time of day, and the pleasure of sharing.

WINESPOT EL GRANERO

Winespot is our contemporary meeting point.

An open, serene space where wine, food, and landscape engage in an easy dialogue. Our own wines and friendly labels from the valley, concise seasonal cooking, artisanal cheeses, open fire, and an atmosphere shaped by music and simple gestures.

It is neither a restaurant nor a traditional tasting room. It is a place to stay, to talk, and to let the day unfold at Ancón.

POLO D’ANCÓN

The polo field at Château d’Ancón is a natural extension of the landscape and the philosophy of the place.

Designed to international regulatory standards, it features official dimensions, selected natural grass, and a carefully engineered irrigation and drainage system that ensures optimal playing conditions while prioritizing the welfare of the horse.

Here, polo is understood as a shared language between rider, animal, and territory. A meeting ground where sport, hospitality, and conversation coexist under a clear premise: to grow without losing identity.

Our Hosts

Ancón is a house shaped by people.

The leadership of the project, the winemaking vision, the kitchen, the service, and the team work together to create an experience that is coherent, sensitive, and deeply human. Every gesture is designed to accompany rather than impose, to know when to step forward and when to listen.

Wine is shaped by the mountain.
Cuisine is born from the land.
The house opens itself naturally.

Here, hospitality is not proclaimed—it is practiced.

Lucila Bombal Foundation

The Lucila Bombal Foundation represents Ancón’s cultural and social dimension.

Based at the Estancia, it supports processes, fosters dialogue, and builds connections between education, culture, and research. Ancón thus opens itself as a house of thought and action, where legacy is understood as a living practice, constantly evolving.

Here, knowledge, territory, and people come together to reflect on the present and project the future from a grounded and committed perspective.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our present is the continuation of a gaze that has always looked forward.

In 1926, when the Valle de Uco was not yet recognized as a viticultural region, the Bombal family decided to plant vines in La Carrera, high in the mountains. It was a pioneering decision, guided by intuition and conviction, that made Ancón the first vineyard in the valley and one of the earliest projects to understand altitude as a defining value.

One hundred years after that first planting, the spirit of innovation remains alive. We do not see history as something static, but as a force that guides the way we think about wine, hospitality, and territory.

PHILOSOPHY & VALUES

Our way of doing things is rooted in respect.

Respect for time—the time of nature and of people—for the history that inhabits this house, for the mountain landscape that surrounds it, for the product, and for those who work with it every day. We understand hospitality as a form of presence: attentive, precise, and without excess.

We accompany without intruding, care for details, and allow each experience to find its own rhythm. Ancón proposes a conscious relationship with the place, its history, and its visitors, where well-being is built through coherence and genuine attention.
