Summary: The ambiance, the wine, and the passion shown by Pablo made for a fantastic experience! Reserve via email (on their website) and ideally, take your own car there and make sure you enter via the right way (coordinates below). Details: My husband and I contacted the winery directly (email below) to reserve for a guided tour, tasting, and meat/cheese board. We got a quick response from Pablo, set up our date/time/option, and took a taxi there. Pablo was a fantastic guide and explained the history of the winery as well as how the wine production here used to work/currently works - it is very unique, as the methods have changed only slightly and there is such a long history associated with the place! After you visit production area, you return to the area where they had the "almacen" or shop - what a remarkable visit back in time! The three wines we tasted were also of top quality. Taxi cost: Keep in mind, it is circa 45 minutes outside of Colonia, so the taxi is on the expensive side - 3-5mil pesos there and back, depending if they stay with you there or not. Pablo can help you organise if needed. Coordinates for the correct entrance, Google maps gives the old one: 34°10'21.8"S 57°56'11.2"W
