The lodge is a classic Argentinean estancia, which has been recently refurbished and possesses all the comfort and style you would expect of a David Denies property. Guests will sleep in one of 6 single bedrooms or in a double bedroom, each with a private bathroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the evening, exquisite meals and fine Argentine wines will be enjoyed in the dining room.

At Los Crestones we believe we have created a unique opportunity– a wild mixed bag hunt, supported by a great staff and great working dogs, all within a short drive of the international airport. Add a couple days to your next shooting holiday, business trip or family visit to Argentina-you won’t be disappointed.

Our guests say that it is difficult for them to describe our shooting to others--because you cant put the shooting into words, and a still photo doesn’t do it justice. There are just so many doves, every minute of every day. We feel the same way about the dining we provide for our shooting clients--just telling you about it doesn’t scratch the surface. You have to come and shoot with us, and smell the fresh, hot, empanadas steaming in a wicker basket, smell the baby goat or lamb grilling over orange coals, taste the earth in carrots grown in the lodge garden, or the flavor of plums and cinnamon in one of our fine Malbec wines. At La Dormida, we take your dining experience seriously, and we strive to make every meals as wonderful as every trip to the field.

The big difference at La Dormida is that you have choices, and it is both a privilege and an innovation to offer ala carte dining to our shooting guests. No other lodge in the shooting world offers such choices. For breakfast choose eggs prepared any one of six ways. Or perhaps you’d like waffles, porridge, or French toast? Coming right up.

Our field lunches are legendary, and are served al’ fresco in the shooting area each day. Lunch will feature a variety of meats and salads, grilled dove breasts, a fillet or our tender beef, several varieties of our famous sausages, short ribs, plus lamb, grilled chicken or other meats. To the  meats we add several salads, bread we make in our own kitchen, plus beverages and a nice desert. Not surprisingly we also bring hammocks to lunch in case you need a little siesta.

The evening meal is a celebration of fine dining, yet in a casual setting, and it is a chance for our in house chefs to really shine. Again, options are ala carte, so if you are enjoying our famous beef and wish to enjoy a steak each evening, we’ll happily grill one to order, but if you’d dare be a bit more adventurous and would wish to try Risotto with calamari ink, or grilled trout with tomato puree, then we’d encourage you to join us with our specialy dishes. Finally, there are the desserts. Each day brings a new creation, from flan to our local delight, dulce de leche, plus fruits, homemade ice creams and pies.  

A special note about our wines. Great wines are part of the Argentine culture, and part of our daily lives. Here in Cordoba, you can buy wines in a convenience store or a gas station. The problem is, many outfitters buy them there, on a shelf next to the wiper blades. That just doesn’t fit. We have partnered with several unique and very special vineyards, and they provide us with wines that join the foods we serve, in harmony. Our cellars are extensive, and we are happy to introduce you to our Malbec wines, which are known throughout the world as an Argentine treasure. Other spirits are also available, but of course we ask you to enjoy in moderation.

Building on our tradition of excellence, the David Denies Wingshooting family is proud to announce the addition of an exciting new hunting property for the 2011 hunting season.
Located in the Province of Buenos Aires, just 85 minutes from the Ezeiza International airport, Los Crestones Lodge, was named for the Rosy Billed Pochard-Argentina’s most distinctive and sought-after duck. Set in a mature parkland and surrounded by fertile countryside, Los Crestones will offer discerning guests a combination of decoying ducks followed by perdiz over dogs.
For those who appreciate shooting behind a well trained dog, Los Crestones is special. Your host, Claudio Villalba, has been breeding and training pedigreed sporting dogs for 25 years, and they are a joy to see in the fields and in the marshes.
On duck hunts, you will be accompanied by a team of well mannered Retrievers, making sure that lightly hit birds are recovered. The perdiz (a prized Argentine game bird) will be shot over German Short-Hairs and English Pointers. Watching them work is a joy in itself.
