A lovely day tasting wine in Uruguay. Visited Bodegas Carrau and Bodegas Santa Rosa. Nice wines, lovely wineries and wonderful hospitality.
Thank you so much for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was a pleasure organizing the tour for you. We look forward to welcoming you again on another visit to Uruguay. Cheers!
We visited two beautiful wineries with Miguel. He provided excellent commentary on the history of Uruguay and its wineries. A lovely day with personalized attention.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It's very valuable to us. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to seeing you again on another visit to Uruguay. Cheers!
We started the day going to a medium-sized family-owned winery for a tour with beautiful views of the property and surrounding areas, and learned about the different variables that are taken into account for wine-making. The staff is clearly passionate about their craft, evident in their knowledge and flair in guiding us through tasting the types of wines offered. The second half of the tour was a larger winery which was also family-owned, with a great lunch and selection of wines. I was very lucky to have beautiful sunny weather, but also got unlucky with the amount of other unrelated groups that arrived, which made things a little busier than expected. Mateo is an excellent driver, who was patient and efficient but also friendly and informative of the local culture.
Thank you very much for your recommendation! I am very glad that you enjoyed the experience and hope to see you soon on another visit to Uruguay. Cheers! Verónica
I’ve taken wine tours all over the world, and this was one of the best! Veronica arranged to great wineries to visit, including a wonderful and relaxing lunch. Our driver Mateo was amazing as well. I highly recommend spending a day visiting wineries with Wine Explorers when you are in Montevideo!
Thank you very much for your review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your experience with us. Looking forward to seeing you on another visit to Uruguay :) Cheers! Verónica
Veronica and our guide Mateo were fabulous. They were professional, courteous, and communicated with us up to the day of our tour, confirming all the details. Mateo is a great driver (unlike the taxi drivers in Montevideo), punctual, but let us explore – we never felt rushed. Veronica set us up at two artisanal wineries and the experience at each resulted in lifelong memories. When the owner and winemaker delivers the tour of the vineyards and facilities, and then sits with you to taste the wine while you eat his homemade empanadas, that is an experience. When you get a personalized tour, a delectable lunch, and then can roam the vineyards by yourself with the winery’s dog Braulio, that is an experience. Veronica will set you up with those memories and experiences!
Thank you very much for your review. It is very important for us to know that you enjoyed it. We hope to see you on another visit to Uruguay. Cheers! Verónica
My family and I had such a wonderful day visiting two wineries outside of Montevideo. Our guide, Erin, welcomed us at the cruise ship port and guided us through a day of wine tasting. We learned so much about the wine making process and enjoyed a variety of excellent wines. The day was certainly a highlight of our vacation!
We are very glad that you enjoyed the day we planned for you. It was a great pleasure for us. We hope to see you soon again!
group of 4 of us visited Pizzorno for white wines and Artesana for reds. Totally recommend both places. We had a fab lunch at Artesana, although if you don't eat meat it might not be for you. There was an exuberant group of Brazilians there too adding to the atmosphere. Safe driver and decent van. Veronica v flexible putting together the package for us, picking us up in MVD and dropping us off in Colonia.
Thanks a lot for trust in Wine Explorers for your wine trip! It was a huge pleasure organizing the tour for you and I am very glad you have enjoyed it. Hope to see you again in Uruguay! Cheers! Verónica
