Wine tourism

Enotourism is a kind of tourism that focuses on touring the most remarkable wine producing areas. This type of tourism allows wineries to open their doors and make their product elaboration process known. It is the perfect option for wine lovers. It is a good opportunity to visit vineyards plantations, discover the necessary features a terroir must have in terms of climate and soil and to clearly observe the whole process developed in the winery, from the harvest to the grape arrival at the plant and subsequent storage in barrels. The veisitor will also have the possibility to see the different stocks and blends, as well as how they are elaborated – regarding both red and white wines. At Bodega Garzón, visitors can enjoy a unique experience by touring the winery and discovering some of the most important secrets of the elaboration of our wines. The visit starts with a panoramic view of the vineyards and, after that, a tourist guide will take you inside the plant to begin the tour, where you will learn everything about the process to create this high-quality product. You will be able to enjoy the wonderful view of the Bodega Garzón vineyards, know more about the ground and the different varieties of grown grapes and visit the winery in order to get closer to the production process. Furthermore, you will be able to sample three of the varietal wines produced during the tour. Do not miss the unique opportunity to discover us with the ‘Garzón from the air’ experience. This hot-air balloon trip is a spectacular experience that tours every Garzón plot. From up there, you will be able to appreciate the incredible views of our vineyards and the natural landscape in this area of Uruguay.
