5.00This was a great day spent at a beautiful little winery with incredible hospitality, delicious food, and some very nice wines. Our guide Alejandro was excellent and gave us a good history of the area and insight into the wines. The van trip, which took Wright around an hour was very comfortable and an easy ride. Highly recommended.

5.00I approached Ryan to see if I could join a tour as a single traveller in Colonia del Sacramento. They didn’t have anything running but Ryan sent me a whole list of recommendations for restaurants & wine tasting it made me exploring fun & I enjoyed all of the places I tried out. A fabulous service.
Nice experience. Fantastic guide and wine.

5.00Wonderful day trip with Andres as our guide. Really chill, local guide. Perfect English. Picked us up at the port and took us to the Fripp winery. The wine was really delicious, and incredibly well priced ($12USD) bottle. It’s a different experience from other wine tours I’ve been on where you visit several vineyards in a single. It’s just one vineyard with lunch. It’s a little more pricey than group tours I’ve been on previously, but ended up being a private tour and a nice experience.
We loved it!

5.00Andres, our guide, was amazing! He was super friendly and shared tons of interesting information about Uruguay and Colonia del Sacramento on the ride out to the winery. The winery itself was beautiful. You’ll get a brief history of the family (and wine, generally, in Uruguay), a tour, and a tasting. We opted for the lunch add on, which was killer with a super tasty vegetarian option. Ryan was also so great! He was super communicative about the day. And, he helped us get acquainted with Colonia del Sacramento. He sent tons of awesome recs for us to check out while visiting. Highly recommend :)
Highly recommended 🍷

5.00Our guide was Andres, lovely guy, who shared with us a little history of Colonia while we were going to the wine experience. Once there they tell you the story about the family and the wine business, the making process and finally to the wine tasting, as you enjoy the famous barbaque (parrillada) filled with the best cuts of meat. A definitely MUST DO in Colonia!
Colonia wine fun!

5.00Our guide, Andres, made the experience extra special! His knowledge of the area and the winery was amazing. We visited the winery off season so his knowledge allowed us to understand the total process of making wine. The Fripp winery is beautiful and the wine is amazing. We had a wonderful time!
