Uruguay Winery Visit and lunch with Wines!

Andres was our guide and was very prompt for our pick up. We had a very nice drive and he shared so much of his knowledge of the culture & history Uruguay and the area with us. We had a warm welcome from the people at Legado (I hope that’s how you spell it) winery and a lovely wine tasting. And a sweet dog as well. I can’t recommend this trip enough! There were 3 of us (myself, my husband & his sister) and we all can’t stop talking about what a lovely day we had.

Anna, the owner and vintner was a wonderful hostess, justifiably very proud of her relatively new winery. We toured, tasted her excellent wines, and were served a fabulous lunch. We absolutely and strongly recommend a visit to Artesana Winery.

We had a wonderful visit at 2 wineries. Miguel was a most gracious host and a great knowledge of wine and Uruguay. The hosts at the wineries were very nice and informative. We had food at both wineries to go along with the tastings. A most enjoyable day. I highly recommend!

The best visit to the vineyard I've ever made. Attention first, the guide Joaquim gave a mega class on wines and the meanders of a winemaker. It was perfect! It's about Montevideo. Transportation with the Rovilson was another great and good experience. Super recommend.

We toured the Pizzorno winery outside of Montevideo. A van picked us up from our hotel. The tour started on time and we we greeted warmly by our guide Gonzalo. After a 30 minute ride that was full of informative narrative, we arrived at the vineyards. The staff at Pizzorno started us off with a wine tasting and tapas. We were given a technical explanation for their wine bottling process beginning with the harvest. Then we were guided through the production area and cellar. Our tour was expertly translated into English for us. Following the tour we enjoyed a paired three course lunch. The food and wine were exceptional. We were only able to purchase one bottle of wine in the shop due the restrictions of our air travel schedule. We would highly recommend this tour. Gonzalo was the best!!!

An extraordinary visit, to repeat!. This place is amazing.The wines are excellent. It was worth it...

Where it says "to expect" it speaks of at least two wineries, however below in "important information" it says visit a winery... In conclusion the visit was from a single winery (which for half the price could have been visited directly) and it was also not clear there if it was "regular" or "premium" wine tasting. Finally they agreed to give us the "premium" because it consisted of more than 4 wines, while the regular one was only 4 wines.

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Wines and lunch were very good. Guide was late picking us up.

We visited the winery with a small tour group and were given an interesting escorted trip around the vineyards and the winery itself, which is located in caves previously used by the airforce to store and maintain fighter jets. Following the tour, we were entertained to a magnificent lunch and wine tasting. The whole experience was superb and I could recommend it highly.

I traveled to several cities in South America for a two week vacation. On the 2nd to last day we did a private 8 person wine tour in Montevideo with Damian. We all agreed it was the best part of our entire trip! Damian was friendly, knowledgeable, and (selfishly) his English was fantastic. I don't expect individuals in other countries to know English, but it make the experience that much better that he did. Also, the wineries he chose for us were beautiful! None were overly crowded and we had the perfect mix of wine tasting but also learning more about the vineyard and process. We were all completely surprised by how great this was! As someone who has traveled to Napa, Sonoma, and differently places in Italy, this was definitely a top wine experience. If I go back to Montevideo, 120% would I do this again.
