Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
The Wine Experience is the Pioneer of Wine Tours in Uruguay and have been Number 1 on Trip Advisor for 10 years running. This is the most popular tour in Punta del Este and was designed specifically for Wine Lovers that like wineries off the beaten track. You will get introduced to Uruguay's flagship grape, Tannat - which is now known as the healthiest wine in the world. We have chosen a small winery, who besides wine makes artisanal cheeses, bread, cured hams, jams, honey and dulce de leche (caramel) and grappa, which they are famous for. We always keep in mind that you have travelled from afar to experience something special. Together with my small team, our goal is to make it as personable as possible (like hanging out with a new friend). We see ourselves as ambassadors of this beautiful country and see it as a privilege to show you the best of what's around. You came to the right place. We can't wait to meet you and share this experience :)

However Marcella our guide and driver as we call him Wally made the rainy day sunshine. I can't remember a tour where I laughed and learned so much. There wasn't an empty seat and we were the only 2 english speaking guest and what a blast. Marcella gave us a tour to remember and Wally drove us safely to and from.

This was a four hour tour of the city. Our tour guide was on time but the van was a little late as he went to the wrong port . We rode around the city with our guide pointing out the Old city and the new part of town. In the Old City we went to a park and a historical cathedral. We spent a lot of time in the cathedral which was good for some of the people in our group but a good majority found it too long. A quick drive infront of the Parliament, the residential houses by the beach and then back to the port where she basically gave us instructions on how to go to the Port Market. It is an interesting place as far as eating but not so much for shopping. Shopping was much better in Independence Hill which we found by ourselves.
