About this trip

Discover the Historic quarter of the city, the Barrio Historico called by the locals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Colonia del Sacramento city in this private tour.


Your guide will be waiting for you at the Colonia Port, you will have a city tour throughout Colonia del Sacramento, and a walking tour of the historic quarter of the city. 


The city tour includes visiting the Rambla, with its beautiful beaches and the famous bullring. If you are interested in ancient churches, there are a few you may find lovelies.


When visiting the historic quarter of the city, you will be able to learn about the ancient buildings, the wall, the city gate, and original cobblestone streets; for example, "Calle de Los Suspiros" (Street of Sighs), which is probably Uruguay's most beautiful pedestrian street. As well as discover the differences between Portuguese and Spanish houses.


Visiting this charming place that is located just 1 hour and 15 minutes by ferry across the "Río de la Plata" from the big city of Buenos Aires, you will feel the calm atmosphere of the layback town.


Walking along the lovely cobbled streets, you will discover magical sites that will make you experience a true journey through time.

Borravino Wine Tours was created by professionals born in Mendoza and Uruguay who were passionate about wine in our personal lives but working in other fields. One day not so long ago we decided to give up our day jobs and dedicate ourselves to what we are really love - wine and the culture surrounding it.

We had a wonderful wine tour in Carmelo, Uruguay. Fabian was a fantastic guide and the wines and food were wonderful. Only disappointment was that we requested a wine tour in English but were not provided that at Narbona winery - they only gave the tour in Spanish, so we missed a lot.

My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting Colonia. Our guide was waiting for us when we got off the ferry from Buenos Aires. From there he explained to us the history of Uruguay and Colonia while driving us to the vineyard. The vineyard itself was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to explore and ask questions. The 3 wines we tasted were all very good and different, and the lunch served after was delicious. Since we booked a later return ferry, the guide was kind enough to give us instructions on how to explore the old city in Colonia and then drop us back off at the ferry terminal for our return. Overall a great day trip from Buenos Aires and a great way to experience Uruguay if you're tight on time.

Our tour to Colonia del Sacramento Wineries was fantastic! Damian was super attentive and answered all my questions before booking the tour. They are punctual, and took us to the two wineries that I had chosen. The first one was Los Cerros de San Juan that is big and was recently renewed and has a great restaurant. The other was El Legado, a family winery, smaller and cosy and we were received by the owners. Both of them were great, with tasting + snacks, two different experiences, what made it more complete. Fabian, our driver/ guide was super super nice! Thank you!!

Had a great time on this wine tour. Our guide Carla was very knowledgeable, spoke English and was answering all the questions I had. I learned a lot. Food was delicious and kept refilling us with tastings from selection of varieties. We came in January and the weather was nice, sunny with a nice breeze. We probably stayed like 2 hours at the restaurant just cause it was chill. Our driver Augustine was awesome too, spoke English, friendly and no hassle pick up/drop off. Thanks for the experience!
