Montevideo, Uruguay
A short journey from the centre of Montevideo and cooled by the nearby Rio de la Plata, Bodega Bouza sits among the tranquil landscape of Melilla. In a little over 20 years, this family-run winery has become one of Uruguay’s most critically acclaimed producers. Offering tours, tastings and two restaurants for visitors to explore, Bodega Bouza is a shining example of Uruguay’s exciting wine scene.
The winery and vineyard around which the current estate is based was first founded in 1942. In 2000, Juan and Elisa Bouza took over the property and began transforming it. Inspired by the countryside and all of its produce, their goal was to work on a human scale to achieve the best possible results. Today, the winery sources its grapes from five distinct vineyard sites.
