Bodega Castillo Viejo is a family-owned winery that has been crafting fine wines since 1927. Now in its third generation, with the fourth generation beginning to take part, the winery is renowned for its exceptional CATAMAYOR brand, which emphasizes quality and excellence in every bottle. In recent years, we have embraced wine tourism, which continues to grow, by enhancing our service quality. Our knowledgeable staff, including a dedicated oenologist, leads tours of the winery, ensuring that visitors enjoy a memorable and unique experience. Our tour highlights the rich traditions of the countryside. Guests can stroll through our expansive park, shaded by natural trees, and visit our 5-hectare fields where Hereford cows and calves roam freely, perfect for photography. You will also have the chance to see our experimental vineyard, featuring eight different grape varieties, allowing you to compare their leaves and clusters. During the tour, you will visit our state-of-the-art bottling plant, where you can witness our automatic bottling line in action and even label some of our wines yourself. We will guide you through our laboratory and fermentation plant, showcasing the entire wine production process. The tour concludes in our Sensory Analysis room, where you can experience the aromatic profiles of various wine varieties. Wine tasting takes place in our unique underground cellar, CAVA, which dates back to 1927, providing an authentic atmosphere to savor our exquisite wines.

Excellent experience. The selection of wines to taste was very good. Raquel, who was the sommelier, was very educational and fun and had great knowledge of the wines presented. The prices are very good for what the establishment offers. A visit to repeat.

Great day to spend with the family. Very good tour of the winery by its own winemaker. The restaurant is run by its owners and that's great 4.5 stars Highly recommended to the entire Uruguayan community. ONLY DETAIL (THEY SHOULD IMPROVE THE BATHROOMS, expand them for both men and women and do it, modernize them, make them elegant is the only constructive criticism for the place to be 5 stars

Local lindo, e atendimento pessoal e de primeira. Quando estivemos por lá, fomos muito bem recebidos pelo guia e pudemos conhecer a Ana, que é proprietária junto aos irmãos do local, uma pessoa adorável. Excelentes vinhos, com repetições e comida muito bem servida. O menu degustação é excelente, apesar da carne ter passado o ponto, nada que atrapalhe ou desmereça a experiência.

The best experience we had on our trip to Uruguay, we did the premium tour with lunch included, everything was perfectly harmonized. The wines are excellent, the explanations from the winemaker Raquel were of the highest level of content. We had the honor of meeting one of the owners of the winery, very friendly and attentive. Certainly a memorable experience!

we had a fabulous tour and lunch at the winery. Alejandra answered any questions we had and even arranged a driver from Montevideo for us. I highly recommend this as a quick day trip from Montevideo.
