Wine tour
La    Bodega    Vinos    Finos    H    Stagnari    offers    tours,wine    tasting    and    lunch.    This    is    a    family    winery    that    has    been professionalized   and   is   now   synonymous   with   excellence   for   the   high   quality   of   its   wines,   because   they   are   made   with care and personal dedication of its owner, winemaker Hector Stagnari.

The Tannat vine, was introduced in Uruguay in 1874 and our country is now the number one producer of these wines. The    Stagnari    family    sought    ideal    soil-climate    conditions    for    each    type    of    grape,    so    that    the    red    varieties    were introduced   in   the   north   and   white   in   the   south.   Los   Vinos   Finos   H.   Stagnari   are   made   exclusively   from   grapes   from   their own vineyards.
