Begin your journey at the renowned Bodegas Carrau, one of Uruguay’s oldest family-run wineries, nestled just outside Montevideo. Led by an expert oenologist, wander through lush vineyards and learn about the unique grape varieties that have shaped the region’s winemaking tradition. Discover how the Carrau family’s passion for viticulture has been passed down through generations, and hear stories that bring the winery’s 19th-century roots to life.
Continue into the atmospheric wine cellar, dating back to 1887. See original oak barrels and learn about the meticulous process that transforms grapes into award-winning wines. Depending on your chosen option, enjoy a selection of homemade empanadillas, delicate pastries filled with ham and cheese or savory meat, or take part in a guided tasting of four signature wines, each paired to highlight the local terroir.
The tasting is designed to introduce you to the flavors and aromas that make Uruguayan wine distinct, from crisp whites to robust reds. As your experience draws to a close, soak in the peaceful surroundings or ask further questions about the winemaking process.
