Ryan was a great guide, knowledgeable about wines and the region. The wine owner was incredibly gracious, and the wines were delicious!

Miguel and Ryan were exceptional. This tour was everything we could have asked for and more. We learned all about the processes behind how wine is made while also trying wine from the vineyard.

This was an amazing experience. Ryan was not only great at setting up the tour, but was a plethora of information and recommendations for Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The wine and lunch were excellent! You will not be disappointed!

There were 4 of us on the Celebrity Eclipse, with the last port of call in Montevideo. One of our group arranged the Tannat Wine Tour with Ryan, and he transported our group with another couple thru the countryside outside Montevideo. The landscape turned from port to industrial to city and outskirts, arriving at Pizzorno Winery in about 45 minutes. Along the way Ryan told us a bit about himself and how he got into this business, along with some insights about Uruguay in general. At the winery we were introduced to Lucio, who showed us around this small and efficient boutique winery. He told us the history of the winery (started in 1910), as well as the various types of grapes they use there, including the Tannat, a grape we had not heard of prior to this trip. Upon completion of this informative tour, we were taken to a small tasting room and introduced to their line of excellent wines, along with the tastiest empanadas of the entire trip. Lucio had a great knowledge of the wines, illustrating on a white board as he spoke with the ease of a college professor. We were fascinated, and with great empanadas and generous sample pours, we all had an incredible time. I recommend this tour highly....Ryan is an easygoing informative guide, and Lucio is an excellent representative for the Winery. This is a worthwhile trip. And you might see a 74 Maverick parked there.danhp123

We just took the Tannat Wine Experience tour from Montevideo. This tour exceeded our expectations in so many ways. While this was our first tour with The Wine Experience, we have previously taken wine tours in many wine regions around the world. Ryan was a perfect host and handled every aspect of our planning and touring to perfection. After reading the TripAdvisor reviews, I felt confident that this was the company I wanted to use in planning our wine tours in Montevideo. I contacted Ryan through his website and he responded back very quickly. Everything was set up quickly and easily. The tour itself was visiting a small family run winery. The visit in our case was led by one of the owners of the winery, the great grandson of the man who started the winery over 100 years ago. We were seated in an exclusive room overlooking the vineyard. We were given a tour of the winery and then after that we had some wonderful wine tastings along with empanadas. While we were tasting the wines we got a real understanding of how each of the wines were produced. After that we had a wonderful three course meal including some delicious Uruguayan beef. The tour was not rushed at all and the ability to stay in the one winery made us feel like we were visiting with the family instead of just taking a tour. Thank you Ryan for all your work in making our day so memorable.
