Discover why we Love the Colonia Wine Experience 

Discover the Old Town of Colonia del Sacramento with an official guide who will tell you the history and curiosities of each place, in addition to recommending the best restaurants and activities in the city and the area. We will walk through the Field Gate, "La Calle de los Suspiros", the lighthouse, the yacht harbor and the church, among others.
The walking tour lasts approximately 1:30 hours and is done in small groups. It starts at "La Fuente Portuguesa", next to the church "Basílica del Santísimo Sacramento", and follows a circular route through the Old Town, ending at the starting point.
Colonia del Sacramento is a picturesque and welcoming city, a must-see when visiting Uruguay or Buenos Aires. It can be seen in just one day, but it is recommended to spend a night to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Uruguay and walk through the Old town under the warm light of the typical lanterns from Colonia.
Hope to see you soon!

Walking tour around Colonia del Sacramento Old Town

You will arrive in a walled city that in 1680 brought the Portuguese crown, with military and civilian envoys, to watch the Spanish ships passing through Buenos Aires, looking for gold, silver and precious stones. You will know the precarious constructions of the time, its handmade roofs, its lanterns and stone streets with natural drains, in a city anchored in time and magically preserved with its military field gate, its drawbridge and its gunboats.

For 9 years, we have toured wineries throughout Uruguay, which has allowed us to generate very strong ties with the owners of Uruguayan wineries.
This gives us the possibility and the privilege of offering personalized tours where quality is paramount.
In addition, our Wine Tourism agency has been declared of interest by the INAVI (National Institute of Viticulture) thanks to our work and first-class service that our clients guarantee.
Carmelo is considered a small wine tourism gem of our country, with a set of wineries that are very different from each other.

For this particular itinerary we have chosen two wineries, prioritizing the family style, where visitors will be served by the owners of the establishments themselves, since we believe that this experience is something completely unusual in other parts of the world.
