Useful Information
Wine taste at sunset
Your sunset wine-tasting tour begins as you are picked up from your Punta del Este hotel in a private minivan and driven to the first of your two wineries – Bodega Narbona.
Bodega Narbona, founded in 1909, is known for its pinot noir and its tannat, a red wine grape that has helped put Uruguayan wine on the map. Learn about the winery’s winemaking process from your knowledgeable guide while you enjoy the gorgeous vineyard views. Then enjoy three full glasses of wine, accompanied by cheese and homemade bread.
Back in your minivan, head to your second winery, Bodega Alto de la Ballena, a much newer winery than the first (it was founded in 1998). Here, in addition to tasting, you’ll have a private tour of the vineyard with the owner and winemaker. Learn about the facilities and take in beautiful views of the estate, and then, as the sun sets over the vines, enjoy a tasting of five wines paired with a selection of cheeses.
Select the private mansion option, and you'll head to a private mansion after tasting at Bodega Alto de la Ballena. Taste four different wines from four different Uruguayan producers. Enjoy light snacks while taking in gorgeous views of the private mansion located right on the water.
No need to worry about drinking too much vino, as you’ll be returned to your Punta del Este hotel at the end of your relaxing wine experience.
