Fodor's Expert Review Narbona Wine Lodge

For an upscale, indulgent Uruguayan wine experience, Narbona Wine Lodge in Carmelo, an hour's drive from Colonia, is worth a visit. The peaceful property includes a vineyard, a restaurant with exposed brick walls that serves Italian-influenced dishes featuring the wines and products like cheeses made on-site, and a luxurious tasting room. If you find yourself unable to leave at the end of the day, book a stay at one of property's five sophisticated, bright, yet rustic rooms named after grape varietals. Your stay includes a vineyard tour, mountain bikes for borrowing, and access to Narbona's private beach.
