Alive with the spirit of the gaucho - the region’s colourful cowboy - Uruguay's Rio de la Plata region offers a year-round mild and sunny climate, historic colonial sites and fantastic local wineries.
Located near the Resort, Finca Narbona and Irurtia wineries offer tastings of a variety of wines, including Chardonnay, Tannat and Botrytis, a dessert wine.
