We toured the Pizzorno winery outside of Montevideo. A van picked us up from our hotel. The tour started on time and we we greeted warmly by our guide Gonzalo. After a 30 minute ride that was full of informative narrative, we arrived at the vineyards. The staff at Pizzorno started us off with a wine tasting and tapas. We were given a technical explanation for their wine bottling process beginning with the harvest. Then we were guided through the production area and cellar. Our tour was expertly translated into English for us. Following the tour we enjoyed a paired three course lunch. The food and wine were exceptional. We were only able to purchase one bottle of wine in the shop due the restrictions of our air travel schedule. We would highly recommend this tour. Gonzalo was the best!!!

The very comfortable tour bus picked me up at my hotel and then we drove north of Montevideo to Colonia which is a very ancient walled city with many nice churches and a beautiful Lighthouse. Colonia sits on a river that is 241 feet wide. We could either explore the town with the guide who was wonderful and spoke many languages. I am slow so I toured it on my own and then found a nice place to eat lunch where there were many Americans. The guide was very knowledgeable about all of Uruguay history. The trip took all day but it was very interesting.

If you only do one tour while visiting Montevideo, let this be the one. Damian picked us up in the morning and we drove out to the first winery, Spinoglio, a lovely family owned place. The owner, Alexandra, showed us around and told us the history of this winery which has been in her husband's family for four generations. We had a delicious tasting where both Alexandra and Damian regaled us with stories & information on Uruguay and its wine making traditions.
We then drove to Pizzorno, a larger more commercial winery, where we were greeted by the grandson Francisco. We had a nice tour of the winery and another tasting.
Damian was helpful, knowledgeable and very sympathique. We got back to our place in Montevideo around 17:00 after a perfect day.
We cannot recommend this tour enough!

Our day visiting the wineries of Carmelo was perfection. We had the opportunity to sample a variety of wine from three producers, each just different enough to teach us something new about the country and their wine making approach. Damian offers a wealth of knowledge about the wines of Uruguay and Argentina and ensured that our experience was fulfilling, comfortable and fun. We look forward to returning to Uruguay and to exploring the other wine regions - there is no doubt that Damian will be our first call for a tour! Thanks for giving us a day to remember!

Feeling Uruguay tours offers an amazing service. When planning our trip they helped iron out the details and reserved our spots at our Bodegas of interest. Easy payment system and wonderful communication from Damian before our tour. The day of the tour, his partner Diego picked us up from our AirBNB apartment right on time. He was friendly and knowledgeable, filling us in with facts about Uruguay and the areas we drove through along our route. It felt like driving with a friend, he was so kind and genuine. The bodegas chosen were superb and he even offered to take us on a small driving tour or Montevideo after our wine tour was finished. In all it was really the perfect experience. The staff is warm and feel far more like old family friends than corporate tour guides, which really does make the day more exciting. I would whole-heartedly recommend this company to anyone seeking a great wine tour. They're very flexible and truly know how to recommend the best vineyards to suit your tastes.

Damien has obviously done this tour many times, but he was engaged and interested in all aspects. I was lucky enough to have him all to myself. We visited Colonia De Sacramento and had relaxing coffee before he drove us to the first of two local wineries. The owners could not have been more pleasant

We visited the winery with a small tour group and were given an interesting escorted trip around the vineyards and the winery itself, which is located in caves previously used by the airforce to store and maintain fighter jets.
Following the tour, we were entertained to a magnificent lunch and wine tasting. The whole experience was superb and I could recommend it highly.

I traveled to several cities in South America for a two week vacation. On the 2nd to last day we did a private 8 person wine tour in Montevideo with Damian. We all agreed it was the best part of our entire trip!
Damian was friendly, knowledgeable, and (selfishly) his English was fantastic. I don't expect individuals in other countries to know English, but it make the experience that much better that he did. Also, the wineries he chose for us were beautiful! None were overly crowded and we had the perfect mix of wine tasting but also learning more about the vineyard and process. We were all completely surprised by how great this was! As someone who has traveled to Napa, Sonoma, and differently places in Italy, this was definitely a top wine experience. If I go back to Montevideo, 120% would I do this again.

Damian and I exchanged several emails in arranging this day. His command of English is excellent. He met us at the cruise ship port, drove us to Spinoglio Winery where we had a walk around the property with the wine maker. We then had a private tasting of their very good wines accompanied with a cheese and salami plate. This was followed by an excellent lunch. During the day both the owner and his wife stopped by to greet us and thank us for coming. This was one of the best wine tasting days I have ever had.

Diego picked us up from our ferry at Colonia del Sacramento promptly and drove us an hour away to Carmelo wine country. We visited two wineries, Irurtia and El Legado. The first is a larger operation and the latter a smaller, family owned business. El Legado stole the show-beautiful grounds and personal service by owner and sons and a charcuterie board awaited us. They are opening a small hotel soon so do yourself a favor and see if it is open when you go and stay there if so! We tried three wines at each winery (and they were healthy pours!). I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a day trip from Buenos Aires or anyone staying in Uruguay. Even if you aren't into wine, Diego was so welcoming and fun to talk to, we could have hung out with him all day! He even stored our purchases for us when we got back to Colonia until our ferry left that night so we didn't have to carry it around. Thank you Diego for your friendliness and hospitality!!!

Gostaria de saber como reservar passeios à vinÃcolas no Uruguay. Isto é, sites seguros para fazermos as reservas.
Os sites que eu pesquisei eram todos apontados com "não seguros" e por este motivo não fiz as reservas.

Hi, I think I can get 4 to 8 people to participate in this tour from the Montevideo port. I have 2 questions for you: would Damian be our guide--he has wonderful reviews, and is there a discount for additional travelers, e.g. for a party of 2 versus a party of 8? Many thanks, Nancy PS We're looking at 3/2 as our date on the Celebrity cruise.
