While in port in Punta del Este, experience some of Uruguay’s best wine and food on a private gourmet tour. This guided shore excursion takes you to two wineries, where you'll meet the winemakers, take private tours, and enjoy a total of eight wine tastings. You'll also feast on a gourmet three-course lunch of Uruguayan dishes while admiring views of the countryside.

When your cruise ship docks in Punta del Este, your private guide will pick you up from the port and take you by comfortable private sedan or minivan to the first winery on your gourmet food and wine tour.

Founded in 1998, this winery produces merlot, syrah, viognier and, of course, Uruguay’s best-known wine, tannat.
