Bodegas Castillo Viejo is a family-owned winery established by French Basque immigrants in Uruguay in 1910. Founded in 1927, it is now managed by the third and fourth generations of the Etcheverry family, ensuring a rich legacy of winemaking.
Your tour will be guided by the winery's skilled winemaker, who specializes in wine tourism and is a proud member of the Etcheverry family.
The experience begins in our experimental vineyard, where you can see eight grape varieties, with Tannat being the standout, as it is Uruguay's signature grape. Next, visit our Open Sky Museum, showcasing the evolution of winemaking machinery from the 1920s to today.
Continue to the fermentation plant, featuring 60 concrete vats with a total capacity of one million liters. Here, our oenologist will explain the fermentation process and the equipment used at each stage.
The tour concludes in the Sensory Analysis Room, where you can experience various aromatic patterns found in wine.
Finally, enjoy a tasting session in the historic Cava Subterranea, dating back to 1927. Sample one white wine and four red wines, paired with artisan empanadas and a selection of cheeses and cold cuts. This is a perfect way to appreciate the flavors of our wines and the craftsmanship behind them.
