Colonia & Vineyards

The Eastern coast and inland river region of Uruguay has a charming historical vintage air about it. Colonia is a UNESCO Heritage protected site with preserved cobbled streets, merchant houses and an impressive fort.

Cafe chairs and tables tumble out onto leafy streets, courtyards and plazas which are a welcome break from the wonderful photographic opportunities and pondering purchases from Colonia's vibrant arts and craft scene.

There are excellent restaurants and interesting hotels to soak up the atmosphere with good service in very pleasant surroundings.

Head north through gentle agricultural land to Uruguay's vineyards and olive groves. The home of Tannet and charming boutique wineries, making for a very relaxed stay with wonderful wine and farm to table cuisine.
