    5. Private Guided Colonia Wine Tour

    5.0· 3 reviews· 7 hours

    Visiting my favorite winery in Uruguay (after visiting all of them in the country), I am sure you will have a lovely experience with it! Your guide will be waiting for you at the Colonia port or hotel. From there you will visit a boutique winery, it is a lovely and relaxing drive through the countryside. You will have a private guided tour through the vineyards and the winery, and you will be welcome in a lay-back Uruguayan style. I know you will have a lovely time, as the winery owner is a friend of mine, and you will feel at home. The visit and premium wine tasting are paired with a traditional Asado (our way to cook barbecue) or with some cold cuts (appetizers). Wine and food will be plenty, and this is for sure a local food experience as well. The tour usually takes 5- 6 hours.

    For 9 years, we have toured wineries throughout Uruguay, which has allowed us to generate very strong ties with the owners of Uruguayan wineries. This gives us the possibility and the privilege of offering personalized tours where quality is paramount. In addition, our Wine Tourism agency has been declared of interest by the INAVI (National Institute of Viticulture) thanks to our work and first-class service that our clients guarantee. Carmelo is considered a small wine tourism gem of our country, with a set of wineries that are very different from each other. For this particular itinerary we have chosen two wineries, prioritizing the family style, where visitors will be served by the owners of the establishments themselves, since we believe that this experience is something completely unusual in other parts of the world.
