This is a really special place to visit if you have the opportunity. Of the nearby Carmelo wineries, I think El Legado has the best wines. We did the asado lunch ($60 per person) which includes a full tasting and tour ($25 value) and thought this was definitely worth it. Super friendly family and staff!

In a hidden place of Colonia, El Legado offers great selection of wines in a peaceful area with lot of nature. It is a great winery with a friendly staff. I had a great time, looking forward to spending another day there drinking. Prices are reasonable, actually I would say cheap in comparison to any USA winery.

Beat deal thus far in Uruguay. Excellent wine and food. Go for lunch and enjoy all the excellent wine that flows throughout, the perfect way to spend an afternoon. The staff is wonderful and knowledgeable and quick to respond when I wanted to arrange our visit. Also getting to hangout with Luna the friendly winery dog was great. They now do take credit cards too if you have read the older reviews mentioning that they don't.

Amazing experience, cozy livingroom, spectacular service. Good wines with perfect matching.

Amazing! Super friendly staff, beautiful place, and absolutely awesome wine and vibe.

Always a pleasure to enjoy the wonderful wines and lovely ambiance at Bodega El Legado. My brother from California joined me this time and he fell in love with this family owned winery. Maria, Bernardo and their sons are so welcoming with their open arms. The winery history is amazing. It now has a charming boutique inn which is perfect to spend a night or two in the beautiful surroundings. My absolute favorite winery in Uruguay...and a definite must see!!!

Great evening spent drinking with Bernardo and Sebastián! Best wine in the region!

Very interesting people, interesting place with a family story, good wine (Syrah, Tannag & blend of both), very friendly and sharing all their story and passion for wine. They offer free visit, wine dégustation (3 wines) for 15 USD, wine degustation 3 wine + cheese for 25 USD( I recomend it !). Wine is between 17 USD to 30 USB per bottle. Degustation glass is 10 USD (very beautifull, in crystall). I would to buy 1 bottle + 1 glass + 1 big dégustation. .. BUT they don't accept credit card !! After this they qtart to be less nice when they understand I could NOT buy everything. All expérience was amazing until last point. Anyway I recomend to visit it.

Location: actually a beautiful place with big and nicely decorated rooms, but you can only get there by car. They only host 4 couples and the most beautiful part is the sitting area outside the room. From there you can watch the sunset. The city Carmelo is a 10 minute drive or 20 minute bike ride away. Room: The bathroom is very nice and they had instant hot water with good pressure. There is a little kitchen area, as they will deliver a wodden box with the breakfast and leave it over night in front of your door. This kind of attracted a lot of ants. Food: for breakfast they offered some bred, orange juice, a yoghurt which seemed bad, fruits and cheap ham and cheese. We couldn't eat it and gave it to a dog. The degustation was included and we additionally booked the BBQ. We barely ate it, as it seems like they used low quality meat. Program: we arrived and missed the introduction, as the owner barely spoke English. I told her, I speak Spanish but she decided to stick to English and therefore not telling us anything about the area. So later on I went to the reception to ask about the program for this area. The receptionist then explained us the tour options, where we could drive with the bike for free. The degustation is the most important part so first they told us a little about the history and the process. When they served the wine, we didn't get any explanation or guidance and just drank it. All in all -> I was super dissatisfied and had higher expectations. I would recommend to stay with another bodega nearby.

Taste food and wine. My girlfriend and I had a great moment there. We booked on Saturday morning (the same day). We paid by credit card

This was the highlight of the trip. Frederico was so friendly and welcoming, and the wine was both abundant and delicious.

What an amazing experience. Sebastian was an excellent host and teacher. They are open from 11-8 (ignore google’s hours). I am a Californian and this is some of the best red wine we have tasted. We encourage you to linger over your three glasses of syrah, tannat, and grand reserve of both aged in oak for 2+ years with a delicious tray of cheese, meat and toasted bread. If here in February, you can watch them process their luscious grapes and experience the New York Times reviewed bodega experience. Meeting Bernardo and his son Juan and learning about their family history was a highlight of our Uruguayan trip.
