The winery trip was perfect. In particular, our guide Andrés was perfect, he told us a lot about life in Uruguay and about the winery where we went for wine testing. As for the testing, which was already in charge of an employee of the winery, I expected more. From France, Italy, Spain and South Africa, I was used to a detailed explanation of working with wine, information on varieties, production methods, etc. in various wineries. Our guide told us everything he knew, but the winery employee was more like the one who poured 4 second wines for us to taste (1x white, 3x red) and didn't tell us much about it. The accompanying food like cheeses, chorizo and asado was spectacular and delicious. But I rather went for wine. I was expecting 7 to 10 samples, but there were only 4. For example, there was no dessert, rose or sparkling wine, the winery does not produce it. I would have expected a bigger offer that would go towards selling bottles... Overall I enjoyed the tour, it just needs a more comprehensive approach. But otherwise everything is ok and I recommend it.
