Many travelers tend to get surprised when they find out about the rich winemaking traditions thriving in Uruguay. Of course, those are not as old and sophisticated as in Europe, but the country is sure rich with various vineyards and occupies one of the leading places on the continent in terms of production volume. The local mild climate creates perfect conditions for growing grape, so it was logic to plant different types of grape here during the 19th century. With this tour you’ll have the opportunity to explore the fascinating winemaking culture of the country with your trusted Uruguay private guide.

First, we’ll visit some of vineyards located outside of the capital, where you will learn different techniques of pressing and storing the juice and preparing wine for storage. You will also visit some of the best wine cellars in the region for a laid-back degustation of the most popular and sophisticated wines produced in Uruguay.

And of course, how can we avoid the tradition of wine consumption with tasty cheese, beef and pork dishes, which will be served during lunch and dinner. Drinking local wines has its own culture, and you will certainly enjoy this part of the winemaking tradition Uruguay is very proud of.
