Mission Accomplished
When I organize private tours, my main objective is to ensure they are 'one of a kind' experiences. Luckily, I came across Ryan Hamilton and his company, The Wine Experience. Visiting South America’s Punta del Este and Montevideo, my group of 20 persons, through Ryan’s amazing expertise, had unforgettable adventures. We had the good fortune to have exclusive and unique tours which were both private and intimate, meeting people behind the scenes at wineries who educated us on their family-owned wineries. On one of these tours, Ryan organized a private chef who cooked a gourmet lunch (Uruguayan grass-fed meats) with the winery providing extensive wine pairings. Wow, just wow! In addition, we travelled via comfortable transportation to and fro checking out the beautiful and breathtaking views and scenery. All this, together with prompt and succinct emails with Ryan, made my dream come true. And, not just my dream…my friends are still talking about their fantastic escapades in South America…BIG shout out to Ryan...Mission Accomplished.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such the detailed and fantastic review! We are thrilled that you and your group had an unforgettable time! It was truly a day to remember, and we look forward to your return to Uruguay. Thank you so much, Ryan.

From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.
How much does From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montevideo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montevideo is not rushed.
Is From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Montevideo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montevideo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montevideo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montevideo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montevideo?
+
On Outty we rank every Montevideo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Museo Andes 1972 / Crash Memorial Admission Ticket, Full Day Punta del Este, Montevideo Electric Bicycle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montevideo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montevideo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is From Ship to Cellar - Montevideo City & Wine Experience offered in?
+
