The winery visit experience with lunch was incredible. Cristian explained everything wonderfully and we had a great time. Highly recommended.
Sonia! Muchas gracias por tus palabras. Será hasta la próxima 🍷
We had wine tasting and lunch at the winery, it was fabulous. They were so attentive and informative. The food was magnificent. Anna and Natalie our drivers were so sweet 😀
Thanks Betty for your comments! Until next time!
It was a wonderful experience. Cristian was very friendly, polite and caring. We were in 2 couples, my boyfriend and I who spoke Portuguese and the other couple was only in English. And yet they spoke but 2 Languages for everyone to feel comfortable. The wines and food are delicious. Super indico.

The visit to the castillo viejo cellar was undoubtedly a fantastic experience. Cristian, the sommelier, is an excellent host, tells us the history of the vineyard, guides us in the tasting/harmonization. The environment of the vineyard is welcoming, intimate, with excellent soundtrack and high quality lunch. I celebrated my birthday there and could not have been better, even with mimos received. Everyone who went was delighted , because it was the best visit to a winery that we did among many others.I can say definitely that it is no longer the same .
Cristian escreve aqui. Muito obrigado pelas suas amáveis palavras. Ficamos muito gratos por ter escolhido nossa vinícola para comemorar seu aniversário. Você será sempre bem-vinda! Mando um grande abraço para você.
Christian, our guide, showed us the process and the CAVA in a friendly, though highly professional manner. during which we learnt a LOT, and ended with a delicious lunch in the elegant Cava
Thank you so much, Daniel! I hope you took away a lovely memory of Uruguay and its wines. Cheers!
It is a great place to visit. It is small group visit that allow multiple questions. The guide is really knowledgeable. The wine degustation and the dinner are in a stunning room.
Thank you Janie for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience at the winery.
Very nice surroundings and scenery. Christian an excellent host, who explained the process of the vineyard in a very entertaining and entertaining way. The lunch quite plentiful, I thought we would be hungry, but with the charcuterie was phenomenal. There are two meat and pasta options. I recommend the first one. Important fact: if you need transportation, book it directly with the vineyard. They handle far more competitive fare than doing it on their own.
Muchas gracias Gigliola por visitarnos con tu familia. Será un placer recibirlos en otra oportunidad!!
Beautiful place, wonderful experience! Our guide in the cellar was Cristian, very friendly and attentive! I recommend for those who are a fan of wine and also for those who are not.....Out of the food that was a delight!! It is worth a visit!!!
Muito obrigado pelos seus comentários!!
Fantastic experience! We were treated impeccably by Cristian, who explained everything with clarity and sympathy. The wines are simply wonderful, and the lunch, besides delicious, was very well served. I recommend closed eyes!
Gracias por celebrar tu cumpleaños con nosotros Rayssa! Hasta la próxima!🍷
Eight of us, from cruise ship Volendam, took the tour and lunch at Castillo Viejo. They arranged transport to and from(extra charge) the port which we really appreciated so we were able to travel together. We toured the vineyard and processing of the wine at the humble, small family-owned winery. We sampled their special, and delicious, Pinot Noir Rose, as we walked the winery grounds and observed the very authentic wine production as it has been done for a hundred years! Alvaro walked us thru, in English, the entire process. Then we went into the Cava for tasting of their Tannat wines and a spectacular lunch, with a large succulent beef steak as the centerpoint. We tasted 5 wines during the 3 course meal, and Alvaro explained each of them so we could appreciate how the wine was complemented by the various foods. A wonderfully rustic experience and especially different from the tastings at the large commercial wineries. You really must eat lunch with the wine to truly appreciate the complex tastes of the Uruguayan Tannat red wines. Super personable experience at a very very reasonable price! Well worth the trip out to the countryside!
