To wine lovers, Uruguay is known for its Tannat, a very strong red wine that is often blended with weaker wines. At the wineries located in the outskirts of Montevideo and Colonia, enjoy warm weather and down a glass of this elegant wine. Also, indulge in a gourmet meal. Uruguay’s cuisine is similar to Argentina’s and is heavily influenced by Italian traditions. Choose from pasta, grilled steak, and seafood.
