The grill is par excellence one of the most outstanding menus of the Uruguayan diet. Tasting it with a glass of Tannat wine is an unmissable experience.

With international recognition, the grill is par excellence one of the most outstanding menus of the Uruguayan diet. It consists of different types of meat grilled on the “parrilla”, a device built in iron and used for that purpose. The secret of this ancient cooking method is that it makes possible the concentration of the juices that the food possesses, thus preserving its own characteristic flavors.
Uruguayan wines are ideal to accompany these exquisite meats. Among those with an outstanding international positioning, those made from the Tannat grape variety stand out, defined as intense, powerful, serious and austere. This grape variety, originally from southwestern France, was introduced in the mid-19th century, and its cultivation was so successful that Uruguay has become the world’s largest producer of this variety.
The dairy industry is highly developed in the country, with products of excellent quality, standing out a valued delicacy: dulce de leche. This sweet, highly appreciated by both children and adults, is used in a wide variety of desserts and other delicacies for the palate, which makes it the undisputed protagonist of Uruguayan confectionery. The foreigner who has had the opportunity to taste it will surely never forget its exquisite flavor, its creamy consistency, its brightness and characteristic color that make it unique in the world, making it very different from its similar ones produced in other countries.
