Uruguay: Coastline, Vines & Surprising Wines

The farm-to-table experience is part of everyday life in Uruguay. There’s an incredible food scene and they eat locally without making an effort. They have access to local produce, fresh olive oil and seafood, and they’re also one of the largest cattle-producing countries in the world. 

There’s a lot of creativity that’s gone into the food that we get to experience on this trip. There’s a blend of cultures when you’re eating - in some places you’ll find little touches of French influence. In other places, they have unique ways of cooking with fire and cooking outdoors. Organic eating is just the way of life for them, as is the concept of farm-to-table.

I love visiting this little beachside restaurant called La Huella. Fresh seafood with whatever local veggies they’re offering that time of year - you can’t have a better meal than that. There’s great music playing along with the sound of crashing waves in the background. The ambiance and the food experience (with a glass of Tannat!) are not to be missed.
