Bodega Bouza Catas y Tapas (Esp, Ing, Oporto)

The vineyard is close to Montevideo, easy access, the reception was great, the tour in the vineyard to know the process of vinification was well explained, the tasting has great wines accompanied by snacks (some good others not so much, but it is personal taste).

Bouza is about 30 to 40 minutes from Montevideo and is a great option for those who want to explore a winemaker near the city. The visit is very well organized, passing through the property and the cava, with a very friendly guide and explaining the whole process and the characteristics of each wine. The tasting includes five wines (one rosé, one white and three red), the last four being harmonized with small finger foods. In addition to the experience, the place is very beautiful and has a very well-preserved collection of classic cars. As the only point of attention, a service fee of 10% is charged even on the value of the tasting. Still, it is worth a visit.

Worth every penny! We made the direct reservation on the winery website, as well as the transfer. The weather did not help much, as it was cloudy, winding and raining a little. But that did not take away the charm and beauty of the place! Choose the tasting with lunch, very worth it! There are 6 types of wines + couvert with bread and flavored butter + entry + main dish and dessert. We ate a lot and very well! We end the visit with a ‘garapa’ in the fireplace and cominhas in the store that is both in the main hall and in the restaurant. The waiter Lautaro is very polite and served us super well! We recommend and would return!

Great tour and great wines. Sabrina was the best! It would have been a five star but the bus driver was an hour late picking us up. If we'd known we had another hour, we would have had lunch.

I visited Bouza Winery in January 2022, actually the same day I returned in 2026. But things were a bit different. I loved so much and that's why I decided to come back. The second experience as I can say felt poorly. The tour, explanation and even the time for photos felt different as it happened with a different level of energy. But that is my interpretation. And after at the wine tasting that I felt more disappointed. The first time was rich. Good servings of wine and the appetizers. The second experience was dramatically poor in comparative to the frist time. Really small portions and wine serving. The price compensated the good wine tasting but now, felt expensive, basic and poor. I really loved the first time, it was a beautiful experience, unfortunately cannot say for the second time.

Pick up was on time and the ride to the winery was nice with driver providing information on the winery. Arrived at winery and were greeted by the host. Tour was in English and very informative. Or guide Sabrina was very good and answered all of our questions. The tasting was excellent and the pairing with the wine were superb. We were truly impressed with the facility and the staff. We would highly recommend visitors ng this winery. We were unaware it was rated as 30th in worldwide wineries. We purchased 2 bottles of their red wines.

Loved the tour, our guide Matias was excellent, the four types of Bouza wine we tasted, as well as the food pairings, were amazing. The collection of classic cars and scooters / bikes, all in excellent condition, was also impressive!

Exciting visit. Excellent tasting and lots of information. Thank you very much for the Welcoming and English translation.

Over priced. The winery tour was good. 50/50 English and Spanish and that was ok--if a little tiresome during the times we couldn't understand. Transportation to and from winery added little-- no tour guide qualities at all. We sat around for over 30 minutes before our tour started even after our tour was shifted from the scheduled time of 10am to 1230pm. We had no opportunity to eat lunch at the winery, even though the posting listed it as optional, as the driver rushed us out of there. Winery is beautiful and staff there are friendly and helpful. The question is as to the value of the driver.

Incredible place, we were welcomed and asked to stay in the market of Porto, driver was inquisitive and left. Professionalism and competence.
