The Wine Experience stands as a trailblazer of Wine Tourism in Uruguay - a reputation that has earned us the coveted Trip Advisor Number 1 spot for 12 consecutive years. At the heart of our passion lies an endless eagerness to uncover unique and hidden locations that are often overlooked.
Thus, we are thrilled to have discovered this sublime property - featured on Time magazine's cover - that fully embodies the essence of what we seek. Located 1 hour away from Punta del este, this gem is tucked away in a secluded pocket of paradise.
Upon your arrival, you will hop onto a golf cart and be whisked away for a guided tour of the vineyards, followed by a countryside luncheon atop the hill, surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views. These fruit-forward wines showcase their unique terroir, a divine combination of soil, topography, and climate - Uruguay's hottest new spot and a bucket list experience not to be missed!

An excellent off-the-ship excursion to a very nice vineyard with a substantial lunch and extensive wine tasting. This was exactly what the tour operator advertised in the tour description. Our guide/driver was pleasant, fluent in English, and knowledgeable. Overall, high value-for-money--our small group was quite pleased with this tour. A winner!!

We got the pleasure of both coordinating and having Ryan, the owner, to be our tour guide for this special day trip experience from Punta del Este to Sacromonte vineyard which was hidden away with amazing views, wine and food! We got to meet the owner of the vineyard all while having a very personal experience. Some of the best pictures of our honeymoon are from this trip so it will always be memorable to us!
Ryan’s communication was great and he also went out of his way to provide top ideas of things to do in Punta del Este and Montevideo. We went to a lot of the recommendations and never disappointed. Would highly recommend!

What a great day. Ryan was super helpful in organizing and Nicolas spent the day with me. Both a pleasure. Sacromonte is a great spot to go to. About an hour from Punta del Este. Beautiful drive and then amazing location once there. Good wine. Good lunch. And Nicolas added a stop at Casapueblos on the way back. Thank you for a memorable day. Highly recommended.

This was our second wine tour which we had taken with The Wine Experience. We just returned from taking the Gourmet Wine Experience in Punta del Este. Everything was planned so easily and efficiently with Ryan, after our initial contact through his website. We were actually staying in Montevideo, but Ryan suggested coming to Punta del Este for the day. We took the bus from Montevideo and Ryan met us at the bus station in Punta as planned.
The tour began visiting a boutique winery where we literally had the entire winery to ourselves. Ryan had arranged for an incredible wine tasting with meats and cheese to accompany the wines. The winery itself was truly beautiful but in a very rustic way. It almost felt like we were on a movie set. We just enjoyed the wines and the experience itself so very much! It’s very hard to explain what an incredible experience this was, we felt like VIPs.
If that part of the tour wasn’t spectacular enough, the best was yet to come. We left the winery and drove to Playa Vik, which is a beautiful resort right along the ocean. We had a gourmet lunch, family style overlooking the infinity pool in the near ground and the ocean just beyond that. Family style dining may not sound gourmet, but believe me, it was a fantastic absolutely gourmet dining experience. We were served a delicious appetizer along with a local white wine and then for our main course, we had platters of beef, fish, shrimp risotto, yams and more along with Vik’s world renowned red wine. Enjoying this meal with the beautiful scenery in front of us and in an exclusive resort, it’s as amazing as it sounds.
The day was so much more than we could every have imagined. Thank you Ryan for everything you did to make our day so memorable.

We had a blast! Super friendly guide, good wine knowledge and great wine taste. The winery was incredible, the wine was very good and hotel lunch was amazing. Overall the experience was worth every penny. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do the Montevideo experience. Best wine tours we've had. Totally recommend it.

Booking was easy; I just provided a date and group number (4 of us in town for a conference) via e-mail and Ryan responded that day. Ryan quickly switched us to communicating via WhatsApp and suggested/adjusted our Saturday itinerary. Ryan picked us up and kept me updated as to his arrival. We visited Narbona vineyard, where Ryan introduced us to local Uruguay wines: white, rose, and several reds in an extensive tasting accompanied by local cheeses. Ryan explained the wine-making process, how to distinguish various grapes through the leaves, and the history of wine-making in the country. We walked leisurely through the vines and grounds. Totally relaxing. Beautiful venue, personable and knowledgeable host, and comfortable drive. We ended the afternoon on our own at a local restaurant on the beach, Parador La Huella. If I went back, I would definitely book this again. Great value for the experience. Bravo, Ryan!
