Bodega Bouza — Attraction in Montevideo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience! Bodega Bouza was an awesome half-day excursion during our time in Montevideo. It’s just a short ride outside the city, and we were having a blast from start to finish. Our guide, Matthias (the tall one — since he mentioned there’s more than one Matthias there 😂), was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and had a great sense of humor.

The wines we tried were exquisite, and the food was just as incredible. The empanadas in particular left a lasting impression, but every dish was amazing. Even more impressive was how perfectly the wines and foods complemented each other — it was fascinating to see how each could enhance or change the flavor of the other.

We also learned a lot about the winemaking process and how much detail and care goes into cultivating each variety. The tour was very well paced, and we even had some free time afterward to explore the property. We took a peaceful walk around the vineyard, and I’d absolutely bring others here the next time I’m in Uruguay.

The only thing I’d do differently next time is get there by Uber or another service instead of using the optional shuttle. The shuttle was a bit late in the morning and had an issue picking us up afterward, but they quickly refunded the cost, and we easily grabbed an Uber back to the city.

Overall, an unforgettable experience — 100%...

We stopped by the vineyards looking for Orujo. But after being warmly welcomed by a gentleman, we decided to stay and eat lunch. This unplanned meal was a pleasant surprise. The seven-course menu (including desserts) with wine pairing was outstanding. The menu, which included dishes such as salmon, cod, caviar, ribs, lamb, and dulce de leche, was delicious. The pairing was spot on and included a few of the best wines produced by this bodega. Our waiter was professional and was able to explain the wine pairings. If this restaurant were located in Europe, it could be close to a 1-star Michelin, and it would be a Bib Gourmand (if not for the price). Overall, considering the cost-benefit, it’s a wise choice and worth every penny (each menu with pairing costs approximately USD 150). It is also worth mentioning the beautiful vineyards and the antique car collection. A must when...

For a tourist and a wine fan that was excited about this experience it was utter shambles.This place is short staffed in all aspects of the winery to begin with. I booked for a tasting and lunch for the afternoon at 13:3 , was left waiting over an hour for the tour to begin along with over 20 people with nobody knowing what's going on waiting for the guide that never pitched up. The guy taking reservations had to do our tour plus the tour being 40 minutes late. Sat down for the tasting first to be served last, Already massivley delayed at this point, the wines where great with real elegance and quality. Nevertheless we where told the restaurant was closed when got there due to no fault of our own. The winery is stunning with cool Antique cars

I feel sorry for the winemaker; that he works there.The driver was the only one to applogies for the...
