Varela Zarranz Winery/ Winemaker for a Day
Explore one of Uruguay's premier wineries and experience the art of winemaking firsthand at the Varela Zarranz Winery. Founded in the late 19th century, it is bordered by century-old olive trees and displays a collection of vintage carriages. Unleash your inner vintner with the winery's exclusive "Create Your Own Blend" adventure. Perfectly crafted for both seasoned wine enthusiasts and curious beginners, this immersive journey into the art of winemaking is a feast for the senses and a celebration of creativity. Working in small, collaborative teams, you'll experiment with six exquisite varietals-three whites and three reds-to craft a blend that perfectly suits your taste. Guided by expert winemakers, you'll mix and match, balancing flavors and aromas to create a wine that reflects your personal style.
What you will see along the way:
As your motorcoach departs Montevideo's port, you'll be treated to views of the city's coastal charm, with the Río de la Plata on one side and a mix of colonial and modern architecture on the other. The journey culminates in the picturesque estate of Varela Zarranz Winery, framed by rows of lush vines and the inviting allure of a historical setting.
Lunch:
Indulge in a gourmet lunch that begins with an artisan cheese board paired with premium cold cuts, olives, nuts, and freshly baked bread. For the main course, paired with local wines, savor a selection of mini grills showcasing rump tail, sausages, rich sweetbreads, flavorful chicken, and succulent pork flank steak, complemented by roasted vegetables and a salad. The meal ends on a sweet note with pears delicately poached in Tannat wine, served with ice cream.
