Uruguay is, without a doubt, a “best kept” secret destination for w**e lovers. The Tannat grape is the crown jewel, making fine reds that are slowly but surely attracting w**e collectors from around the world. And the widely planted Albariño grape (originally from Galicia, Spain) is the flagship white.
While some of the world’s great w**e regions have become overcrowded
with mass tourism, Uruguay’s w**e country is still under the radar. It's
charming, unpretentious, and warmly welcoming. Visitors are often greeted by the w**emakers themselves, and the tidy patchwork of vineyards, quiet country roads, and unspoiled landscapes creates an atmosphere that feels increasingly rare.
The Carmelo w**e area is particularly special. Uruguay is peaceful,
wealthy, safe, artsy, and serene. The people are truly easy-going and
friendly. And apart from terrific w**e, Uruguay also has some of the most beautiful coastlines in Latin America. Sprinkle in UNESCO colonial architecture and delicious cuisine (steak and pasta lovers are very well served in Uruguay), and you have the ultimate “slow travel” experience in this elegant and pristine corner of South America.
We have launched an exciting new sample itinerary to illustrate the
possibilities for our bespoke private food and w**e tours in Uruguay. On
a supremely relaxing and pampering trip, you will stay at fabulous hotels, including two high-end w**e retreats set amid vineyards, as well as boutique city hotels. Tantalize your taste buds with premium w**e tastings at top w**eries, including Bodega Spinoglio, Altos de la Ballena, Bodega Bouza, Bodega El Legado, and more. Your final destination on this wonderful adventure is the enchanting town of Colonia del Sacramento. Founded by the Portuguese in 1680, this picturesque town is a preserved historic gem. With its cobble-stoned
streets, colonial architecture draped in bougainvillea, vintage cars,
and historic sycamore trees, it feels like a movie set. If this sounds interesting, get in touch 😁 [email protected]
