    The wine list is interesting. However you have Hawkes Bay, New Zealand listed which is in the east of New Zealand’s North Island. Above the post, you have a photo which is actually of Rippon Vineyard which is in Wanaka in the Central Otago region of New Zealand’s South Island – a region more famous for world class new world Pinot Noir. These two regions are nowhere near each other and the photo has nothing to do with Hawkes Bay wine region.

    It would be like putting a post about the Champagne region, and including a photo of the Rhone Valley.

    Great to see Chile on your list. I lived there happily for years and while I’ve now left the country, my love for Chilean wine hasn’t left me! Personally I loved Casablanca region – great wines and super easy to get to from Santiago in a day trip. San Antonio has some fantastic vineyards too, and still only a weekend away (some friends did the 3 hour return trip in one day too).

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
