The experience

Bodega Garzón is one of Uruguay's most recognized wineries, and the tour starts there after your driver picks you up from your hotel. A guided visit takes you through the production facilities and barrel room, explaining the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle. The tasting that follows introduces you to a selection of premium wines, each one tied to the specific character of Garzón's terroir: the soil, climate and philosophy that shape what's in the glass.

The second half moves to MACA, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Atchugarry, located within the Pablo Atchugarry Foundation. You'll explore permanent and temporary exhibitions of work by Uruguayan and international artists, then step into the 40-hectare Sculpture Park where monumental pieces sit among the landscape. The scale and setting make it less like a traditional museum walk and more like moving through an open-air gallery where art and nature occupy the same space.

The entire experience runs about five hours from pickup to return, structured so both stops fit into a single afternoon without rushing between them. Your private driver handles all transport, and a live guide in English or Spanish leads both the winery and museum portions.
