Gostionice na destinaciji Progreso

Our stay at Pizzorno Wine Lodge, which is just a short drive from Montevido, has been an absolute delight. This bodega has been owned by the same family for three generations and was first planted in 1910 when the Pizzorno family arrived from Italy. We wanted to come and stay in the middle of a vineyard and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, good food and wines and from the moment we arrived we have been treated as very special guests. Nothing has been too much trouble for our hosts. With the most amazing scarlet sunsets we walked amongst the magical vineyards which were full of huge bunches of grapes just waiting to be picked. We toured the wine cellars where are all the wines are stored and sitting quietly in their tanks and barrels just waiting for the moment when they will be bottled and ready for the world to enjoy. We joined in the harvest where we struggled to pick the grapes and then started on the treading - gosh what a slippery job! We now really are aware how much hard work goes into creating a bottle of wine. We enjoyed delicious meals in the restaurant and of course enjoyed sampling the different wines. We are given home made cookies to enjoy with our afternoon tea, together with fresh fruits. We sit beside the pool surrounded by the moscatel grapes basking in the late afternoon sunshine.
