There aren’t enough superlatives to express the wonderful experience we enjoyed at El Legado. Located in Carmelo, the grounds are very well maintained and surrounded by pastoral views. The tour of the vineyard was most informative . Winery owner Bernardo took time to demonstrate each process from training vines to barrel selection. The winery was initially started by his father and you can see clearly what a labour of love it is for Bernardo and his family. Inside, Federico explained the wines (Syrah, Tannat & Blend) The charcuterie paired very nicely with the wines. I could go on about how great the experience was for us, but what I’ll do instead is encourage you to visit this little place of heaven. Hands down this was the best memory making moment of our road trip to Colonia.

Bodega Familia Irurtia is a familiar winery you can visit every day very near Carmelo. Uruguay is knew in the world of wine for the Tannat variety, a very tannic and full body red wine, you can taste in our cava. Come for wine and a great moment of conviviality. Please contact us to reserve your guided tour and tasting.

Our Museum will take you on a journey of infinite sensations, art can be breathed among so much carved work, come to spend a different time

Mr José Castro’s life’s work is exhibited in the museum at the rear of his hardware shop. He’s 80 years old and for about 60 years has been carving the most inventive artwork. It is so intricate and every piece tells a story, often with a surprise in store. He only speaks Spanish but luckily his nephew was there to do some translation. It’s extraordinary.

This is a large expanse of sandy beach along the river close to the town of Carmelo, Uruguay. It is very popular with the locals in summertime and is a pleasant walk during the cooler winter months. There is a large park with family picnic areas attached to the beach alongside the river inlet leading to and from Carmelo.
