ON THE SHORES OF THE RIVER PLATE
Relax in the sun on a colonial- style patio, beside a tinkling fountain. Hectare after hectare of vines stretch off into the distance.
Slightly closer to hand – in your glass, in fact – is the product of the vineyard; a deliciously fruity and satisfyingly mellow red wine created from soft Tannat grapes. And beside your glass is a plate of homemade cookies, and the fragrant, characterful cheese made by the winery’s own dairy.
Stay at Wine Lodge Narbona on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Uruguay and you’ll be able to explore both the ancient and modern wine-making processes, cycle round the vines, attend tastings in the winery’s cellars and treat your palate to homemade jams and cookies, artisan olive oil and handmade pasta. And even laze on a nearby beach.
