5.00Miguel was very knowledgeable and friendly. Made the ride out to the winery go by very quickly. Everyone at Santa Rosa winery wonderful, showed a lot of pride in their history and wine. The lunch ended the trip on a super high note. On the ride back Miguel gave us a bit of extra, showing us sites in beautiful Montevideo. He even helped my friend find a place to shop for gifts.
Tour was excellent! High level.

5.00Right after I booked the tour, Ryan was in touch with me to assure me that we were all set. Our driver Miguel picked us up at our hotel and he entertained us with lots of great stories and information on our way to the winery. The winery tour itself was a lot of fun and the wine was delicious, as was lunch! And I really appreciated that even after the tour, both Ryan and Miguel were checking in with me with suggestions for the rest of our stay in Uruguay. Made us feel very supported and as if they truly cared about our experience. Highly recommend!

5.00Miguel picked our group up from the port right on time and took us to the Santa Rosa Winery where we toured the facilities and had a wonderful steak lunch. He was so informative and made the day so much fun. He gave us a lot of fun facts and answered all our questions. I highly recommend not only The Wine Destination, but also San Rosa. It was a great day. thank you to Ryan for putting this together for us.
Fantastic day!

5.00This was one of the best experiences We’ve had!!!! Miguel our driver picked us up right outside the ships exit. He took us to Castillo Viejo winery. Miguel gave us a tour of the vineyard and explained all about the different kinds of wines produced by this family. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the history of this winery. We were then introduced to the owner Ana who was an absolute delight. After touring the grounds and the wine production Ana served us an excellent lunch paired with some great wines, then followed by an amazing dessert and house made limoncello. This tour was very personal and we enjoyed it very much. Thank you Miguel!!!!
Wonderful experience if you enjoy nature and good wines
