When I organize private tours, my main objective is to ensure they are 'one of a kind' experiences. Luckily, I came across Ryan Hamilton and his company, The Wine Experience. Visiting South America’s Punta del Este and Montevideo, my group of 20 persons, through Ryan’s amazing expertise, had unforgettable adventures. We had the good fortune to have exclusive and unique tours which were both private and intimate, meeting people behind the scenes at wineries who educated us on their family-owned wineries. On one of these tours, Ryan organized a private chef who cooked a gourmet lunch (Uruguayan grass-fed meats) with the winery providing extensive wine pairings. Wow, just wow! In addition, we travelled via comfortable transportation to and fro checking out the beautiful and breathtaking views and scenery. All this, together with prompt and succinct emails with Ryan, made my dream come true. And, not just my dream…my friends are still talking about their fantastic escapades in South America…BIG shout out to Ryan...Mission Accomplished.
Thank you for such the detailed and fantastic review! We are thrilled that you and your group had an unforgettable time! It was truly a day to remember, and we look forward to your return to Uruguay. Thank you so much, Ryan.
Dario was a fabulous guide he went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The winery tour with the family was a great touch.
I will be sure to pass along your wonderful comments. We are stoked you had a super time!
