The Unexpected Flavors of Uruguay

Welcome to the best way to explore Uruguay: eating

Uruguay may be famous for its nightlife, free mindset, and perhaps its eccentric presidents; however, few people know how “delicious” this country really is. We will explore the colonial towns up north around Colonia del Sacramento, paying special attention to the wineries in nearby Narbona. Here, you will experience authentic “colonial indulgences” as you make cheese, distill your very own liquor, ride through vineyards in a vintage auto, and sample the wine …even picking the grapes. We will then head east to Punta del Este, where a very special establishment awaits: a hotel, gallery and winery all in one. All these routes, frequently stopping to sample the local cuisine and the area mate! Indulge in the unexpected flavors of Uruguay.

Quaint Family-run Wineries

The word’s getting out: Uruguay has some GREAT wines! At its wineries, that are small family-run concerns, you can meet the owners who will share their passion for viticulture with you.

This caffeine-rich infused drink was 1st consumed by local indigenous peoples, but today is drunk by practically everyone in Uruguay. Don't leave without learning about the history of yerbas, bombillas and calderas -- and, of course, sampling a mate.
