The Market is a typical country store that offers exclusive Casa Vigil products, such as those from the Labrar project and Alejandro Vigil’s award-winning wines. In addition, visitors will be able to enjoy a gastronomic offer designed to pair these exclusive wines.
Among the products from the Labrar project that can be obtained exclusively at Estancia Vigil, the green olive pastes, black beans, tomato jam, and Dulce de Leche that bears the Estancia Vigil brand stand out.
In his inaugural speech, Alejandro Vigil expressed: “The inauguration of the Market means opening the doors of a dream that began almost four years ago. “We wanted to bring a little piece of Mendoza to Cardales, a place that brings together everything we are passionate about: music, art, wine, gastronomy and vineyards in one place.”
The Market will be open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Vigil Stay
Inspired by the concept of Casa Vigil, opened in 2015 in Mendoza and recently awarded its first MICHELIN star, Estancia Vigil seeks to promote wine culture. Its visitors, in addition to delighting in the gastronomy, will have the opportunity to learn about the production and tasting of wine.
This new venture by Alejandro Vigil seeks to bring wine culture closer to Buenos Aires, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique experience that combines the passion for wine, gastronomy and culture.
The architectural concept is a reinterpretation of the European patio house-style mansions, introduced to the country at the end of the 19th century by European immigrants who forged the beginnings of the wine industry in Argentina.
In the heart of the property are the vineyards, where visitors will be able to learn about the grape cultivation process and enjoy an environment that will transport them sensorially to the Cuyo region.
In the main building there will be a wine cellar with concrete eggs and oak barrels, where tourists can learn about the different varieties of Mendoza wines and their production, in addition to tastings.
The restaurant will have two rooms: The Gualtallary Room, a warm restaurant with a large tasting bar that can accommodate 90 diners; and on the other hand, the Valle de Uco Room, a space based on the use of regional, seasonal products and the use of fires and clay ovens, with space for 94 diners.
For those looking for a more exclusive experience, the Chef’s Table will offer an intimate space for 8 guests, where Chef Diego Irato will present his most distinguished dishes.
Outside, the Patio de los Hornos, the Gallery and the Garden offer different space options for large events, cocktails or receptions, with capacities ranging from 90 to 640 people in cocktail format.
Gastronomy
Estancia Vigil’s cuisine will focus on local products, respecting the timing and quality of the ingredients. The dishes, prepared with the utmost dedication, will stand out for their authenticity and flavor, paired with high-quality wines selected by Alejandro Vigil, known for their excellence and distinctive character.
Chef Diego Irato has joined Estancia Vigil, bringing his extensive experience in the hotel and gastronomic field. He began his career in 1999 with the opening of the Meliá Buenos Aires Hotel and has played key roles in establishments such as the Sofitel Buenos Aires, the Pullman Hotel in Rosario, and as executive chef at the Sofitel Cardales for more than a decade. Their talent and creativity will enrich the culinary proposal of this new project. Working together with Iván Azar, chef of Casa Vigil, he will maintain the characteristic approach of the Mendoza proposal, adapting it to local products to create dishes that pair perfectly with the wines selected by Alejandro Vigil.
The Wines
Estancia Vigil will offer a wine proposal focused on quality and innovation, under the direction of Alejandro Vigil himself, whose wines are considered among the best in Argentina and the world, standing out for their elaboration and their faithful representation of the Argentine terroir.

The El Enemigo line has received international recognition, standing out for its complexity and elegance. Each bottle reflects Vigil’s passion and commitment to excellence, combining modern techniques with traditional practices to create unique, high-quality wines that have captivated critics and wine lovers around the world.
Alejandro Vigil achieved the first 100 Parker points for two Argentine wines with the Gran Enemigo single Vineyard Gualtallary 2013 and with the Adriana Vineyard River Stone 2016 wine, becoming the first Latin American winemaker to receive 200 points from renowned scorer Robert Parker.
In addition, Estancia Vigil will have a selection of the best wines from Argentina and the world. This careful collection will include prestigious labels that will complement the offer, giving customers the opportunity to enjoy an incomparable wine experience, with exceptional wines from various most recognized regions in the world.
