My family and I had such a wonderful day visiting two wineries outside of Montevideo. Our guide, Erin, welcomed us at the cruise ship port and guided us through a day of wine tasting. We learned so much about the wine making process and enjoyed a variety of excellent wines. The day was certainly a highlight of our vacation!

The tour was very good and picked us up at our hotel. We then listened to our guide who explained the itinerary and a bit of history. Our first stop was Piriapolis which was charming. We went to the top of the Cero for a great view and photo opportunity. The tour takes you to the Casapueblo which is an amazing tribute to the famous artist - Carlos Paez Vilaro. It looks like Santorini on steroids. We then went through the back streets of Punta del Este and our guide explained why it's the home of the "rich and famous." We stopped near Play Brava and had some free time to photograph and get a snack. It's a long tour but it's worth it.
