From Ship to Cellar – Montevideo City & Wine Experience

About this experience

Step into the heart of Montevideo’s wine culture with a mini city tour followed by a wine tasting experience in the city. We include private transportation with an expert guide.

After seeing the best sights, including stops in the old town and the Montevideo sign, you will go to your winery venue in the city, where you will watch a captivating 15min video on Uruguay and its wine. Then, descend into the intimate cellar room, where a knowledgeable wine guide will lead you through a tasting of 4 exquisite wines from 4 different Uruguayan wineries, paired perfectly with freshly baked empanadas.

For those spending the night, we offer a mini city ride stopping at the Montevideo sign that includes a three-course gourmet dinner paired with three wines, along with the same immersive 15-minute wine video.

Pickup from Hotels or the Port, if you arrive by cruise ship. Discover, taste, and enjoy—Uruguay’s wines have never been this accessible or enjoyable.
