Pizzorno Lodge & Wine

There aren’t enough superlatives for this place, so I’ll simply recite the names I know: Oskar, Gisselle, Joaquin, Wilson, Lucio, Carlos … thanks to all of you for a very enjoyable and memorable stay.

The staff were amazing, the room was comfortable and the evening meal was excellent, the chef excelled. Our vineyard guide was extremely knowledgeable and the wine was superb, I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The location is a bit remote but the whole reason for staying there was for the wine, we stayed at harvest time and made the most of it!

we enjoyed being able to stay at a Bodega without having to drive. The renovated family home was beautiful and very comfortable! We had the best tour with the clearest explanation of the wine making process that we have ever had anywhere. The Pizzorno Family and staff are very kind , friendly and helpful, anticipating anything we might need! Lunch and dinners are excellent!

almost done but not completely give a few months it will be perfect

Wow! This is quite the operation and was an exceptional experience. You can feel the passion and care as soon as you arrive. The whole staff works together to make for such a seamless visit. Upon arrival, Oscar greeted us and we had a delicious lunch with a bottle of their petit Verdot - we took a few of those home, it was out of this world. Then went on a wine tour with the incredibly knowledgeable Lucio. We’ve toured many wineries, but I learned so much from him on this tour. We learned how they make sparkling wine - incredible, as well as some of the Uruguay wine rules and regulations. We stayed the night in one of their well appointed rooms. This meant dinner with “grandpa.” That was a great experience as well, and we were so full of delicious pizzas after we slept great. We woke up to a wonderful breakfast, grabbed 6 or 7 bottles and went on our way. Everything was perfectly orchestrated. We also found out they distribute in Washington DC, close to where we live at a well respected wine shop. Once we get through all the bottles we bought, we will absolutely be visiting Grand Cata for more.
