    Enjoyable tour 🍷

    This was a great tour with Christian who was very knowledgeable about all wines in this winery and region! We had a private which was very personable and enjoyable. Christian had great English and was able to explain all processes to us!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you again soon!

    Extraordinary experience!

    It was incredible from the beginning to end. Christian wasn’t amazing host and taught us so very much about tasting wine, the process and challenges. The cava was gorgeous and the wines and food pairings were wonderful. We never felt at all rushed, and he took all the time necessary to make sure we had a great experience. I always say I’m not a red wine fan, but now I think I’ve been transformed! Bravo!

    Response from the operator: Wow!! The best part of our work creating experiences is getting feedback like yours! Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments. See you next time!

    Tour Selection of the Sommelier: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.

    How much does Tour Selection of the Sommelier cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Tour Selection of the Sommelier take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Tour Selection of the Sommelier worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montevideo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour Selection of the Sommelier?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tour Selection of the Sommelier suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour Selection of the Sommelier?

    +

    Around 13 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour Selection of the Sommelier 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 is included in Tour Selection of the Sommelier?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tour Selection of the Sommelier?

    +

    Go to Bodegas Castillo Viejo, located at route 68 km 24, Las Piedras. Upon arrival, enter through the main access of the warehouse and go to reception where our team will be waiting for you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tour Selection of the Sommelier offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour Selection of the Sommelier?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tour Selection of the Sommelier wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tour Selection of the Sommelier if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Montevideo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Tour Selection of the Sommelier?
