The programme

Our tour starts in the amazing city of Montevideo, where 19th-century atmosphere and 20th-century buildings live in perfect harmony with lovely parks and white beaches.
In the port area we will learn about the role that the port of Montevideo played during World War II in the Battle of the Río de la Plata.
Our guide will tell us the story of the battle, made famous by the battleship Graf Spee battleship, sent into the waters of the South Atlantic Ocean in the weeks before the start of World War II. After sinking many opposing British ships, she was severely damaged and forced to take refuge in Montevideo, where she was later decommissioned.
Continue with a city drive through Plaza Independencia, built in memory of General Artigas and on to the Legislative Palace (photo stop)
We then head towards Juanico Winery, considered one of the leading wineries and exporters of Uruguayan wines. On arrival visit the vineyard’s structure, the cellar and enjoy a wine tasting session.
Before returning to the port, we visit the winery store to buy some authentic Uruguayan wine to take home.
