Christian, our guide, showed us the process and the CAVA in a friendly, though highly professional manner. during which we learnt a LOT, and ended with a delicious lunch in the elegant Cava
It is a great place to visit. It is small group visit that allow multiple questions. The guide is really knowledgeable. The wine degustation and the dinner are in a stunning room.
Eight of us, from cruise ship Volendam, took the tour and lunch at Castillo Viejo. They arranged transport to and from(extra charge) the port which we really appreciated so we were able to travel together. We toured the vineyard and processing of the wine at the humble, small family-owned winery. We sampled their special, and delicious, Pinot Noir Rose, as we walked the winery grounds and observed the very authentic wine production as it has been done for a hundred years! Alvaro walked us thru, in English, the entire process. Then we went into the Cava for tasting of their Tannat wines and a spectacular lunch, with a large succulent beef steak as the centerpoint. We tasted 5 wines during the 3 course meal, and Alvaro explained each of them so we could appreciate how the wine was complemented by the various foods. A wonderfully rustic experience and especially different from the tastings at the large commercial wineries. You really must eat lunch with the wine to truly appreciate the complex tastes of the Uruguayan Tannat red wines. Super personable experience at a very very reasonable price! Well worth the trip out to the countryside!
This is an intimate view at a small family owned winery. It is not one of those big production wineries. The grounds, service, wine were all spectacular. Relaxing, beautiful day, the lunch was average, but wine was amazing. One of my favorite wineries.
What an amazing, truly Uruguayan experience!! We were treated to amazing wines and food. Our hosts were very kind and so friendly....we felt like we had known them for years! An intimate experience that I'm not sure you would find elsewhere.
The genuine feeling is awesome from the host. She was so polite and fun and very kind! I can’t think of anything bad when it comes to this experience. My boyfriend enjoyed it and so did I. Oh the chocolate lava cake and ice cream made the experience even better!!! Wish it was bigger lol. I recommend this place.
The winery visit experience with lunch was incredible. Cristian explained everything wonderfully and we had a great time. Highly recommended.
It was a wonderful experience. Cristian was very friendly, polite and caring. We were in 2 couples, my boyfriend and I who spoke Portuguese and the other couple was only in English. And yet they spoke but 2 Languages for everyone to feel comfortable. The wines and food are delicious. Super indico.
The visit to the castillo viejo cellar was undoubtedly a fantastic experience. Cristian, the sommelier, is an excellent host, tells us the history of the vineyard, guides us in the tasting/harmonization. The environment of the vineyard is welcoming, intimate, with excellent soundtrack and high quality lunch. I celebrated my birthday there and could not have been better, even with mimos received. Everyone who went was delighted , because it was the best visit to a winery that we did among many others.I can say definitely that it is no longer the same .
Very nice surroundings and scenery. Christian an excellent host, who explained the process of the vineyard in a very entertaining and entertaining way. The lunch quite plentiful, I thought we would be hungry, but with the charcuterie was phenomenal. There are two meat and pasta options. I recommend the first one. Important fact: if you need transportation, book it directly with the vineyard. They handle far more competitive fare than doing it on their own.
Beautiful place, wonderful experience! Our guide in the cellar was Cristian, very friendly and attentive! I recommend for those who are a fan of wine and also for those who are not.....Out of the food that was a delight!! It is worth a visit!!!
Fantastic experience! We were treated impeccably by Cristian, who explained everything with clarity and sympathy. The wines are simply wonderful, and the lunch, besides delicious, was very well served. I recommend closed eyes!
Excelente todos, sin palabras ... El recorrido , el recibimiento , la amabilidad y sobre todo el almuerzo iunto con los vinos...
Visita exclusiva com a sommelier e enólogo nos atendendo diretamente. Vinhos deliciosos e cardápio bem harmonizado.
The visit was personalized and wonderful! We were very well received by Alejandra who explained the history of the bodega and wine production very well. We went with our daughter and lunch was excellent with options for all tastes! Excellent wines paired with the starters and main course!
Excellete visita. Realizmos a degustação e almoço. Tudo perfeito. A atenção que recebemos desde a entreda excelente. Recomendo de preferência o passeio com a degustação e almoço.
O passeio foi muito bom, o pessoal da vinícola muito simpáticos. Várias informações interessantes, vinhos muito bons e ótima refeição !
El plan es excepcional, toda la experiencia completamente memorable. Recibimos toda la orientación, información, tour y todo lo demás de parte de sus propietarios, personas muy agradables y apasionadas por lo que hacen. Recomendadísimo.
Charming visit with the special care of winemaker Alejandra who provided all the important information about the winery. Top quality tasting and impeccable lunch. Super recommended!
Excellent wine pairing with lunch, which is extremely tasty and the restaurant is in the winery's CAVA, which makes the meal really cool, I recommend it.
Un grato momento el que vivimos al visitar esta bodega, la atencion y los servicios ofrecidos llenaron nuestras expectativas. El paseo por la bodega y las explicaciones ofrecidas se suman a la experiencia positiva.
Beautiful place, excellent attention and services. Extensive explanation from the history of your wine to the end of the preparation process to have a quality wine.
Excelente todo. Recomendable! Conocer, aprender y disfrutar de un lugar muy bonito. Muy buen servicio
Muito bom, ambiente muito bonito e agradável.. Bons vinhos e boa comida. Recomendo o vinho cabernet Franc 12 meses em carvalho.
Fue una agradable visita y el almuerzo de muy buen gusto y acompañado con buenos vinos. Recomendable
Se você ainda não foi em nenhuma visita desse tipo para conhecer a produção de vinho é um bom custo benefício para começar. Ambiente simples mas muito acolhedor. Vinhos deliciosos com petiscos que harmonizam e uma área externa muito gostosa para tirar umas boas fotos e tomar uma taça ao ar livre.
