For more than 125 years, Bodega Santa Rosa has welcomed visitors into a world where history, family, and winemaking come together. Founded in 1898 by Juan Bautista Passadore and cared for by eight generations, the winery has preserved a legacy built on patience, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the land.

Beneath the vineyards lie remarkable underground cellars—among the largest still in operation in South America—where time quietly shapes every bottle. Here, tradition meets innovation, creating wines and sparkling wines that express the character of Uruguay and invite every guest to become part of a story that continues with each vintage.

They will visit the largest operating underground wine cellar on the continent, home to the largest collection of barrels imported from Czechoslovakia. They will also have the opportunity to discover and learn, alongside the winemaker, the production process of our Fond de Cave sparkling wine. The tour concludes in the 1820 cellar, which is set up for tastings and lunch.

It's a unique experience that you can't miss if you come to Montevideo.

We are 15 minutes from the port, ideal for cruise passengers

A unique experience in Uruguay. Perfect for any visitor to Uruguay. Highly recommended! For couples, I recommend the offered transportation service. Reservations were made via WhatsApp. The food was delicious, and the selection of wines and champagnes was extensive. Our tour guide was always attentive and answered all our questions.

It was one of the best tours we took while in Uruguay, and I must say it was also one of the best wineries I've ever visited. We chose it to celebrate my sister's birthday, and it was the best choice. The wines are excellent, and the food is of great quality.

Great experience! Bodega Linda has a lot of history. A great example of tasting the queijos and wines too. Nota 10 pra empanada com molho de vinho. To get to the bodega from the center of Montevideo, send access to the onibus or uber/taxi.
