Wine Country – Versatile – Countryside Elegance

Canelones, located just outside Montevideo, offers one of Uruguay’s most versatile event landscapes, blending scenic countryside, thriving wine culture, and excellent accessibility. As one of Uruguay’s leading wine regions and agricultural hubs, Canelones delivers a broad range of venues perfectly suited for weddings, corporate retreats, cultural events, and upscale rural experiences.

The vineyards of Bodega Juanicó, Bodega Pizzorno, Bodega Artesana, and Bodega Marichal stand as flagship venues for vineyard weddings, wine-pairing dinners, and corporate incentive programs. These boutique wineries offer refined indoor tasting rooms, expansive outdoor terraces, and private cellars, creating elegant environments for both intimate gatherings and upscale celebrations.

For larger events, the city of Las Piedras and surrounding towns offer modern conference centres, hotels, and business-class accommodations. Properties such as Hotel Howard Johnson Carrasco & Convention Centre provide professional meeting spaces for corporate seminars, training workshops, and regional government summits — all within close reach of Montevideo’s international airport.

The coastal stretch of Ciudad de la Costa, part of Canelones’ jurisdiction, offers beachside venues perfect for casual weddings, outdoor receptions, and wellness retreats. These relaxed beachfront locations combine coastal beauty with convenient proximity to the capital, making them ideal for multi-day programs that balance business with leisure.

Canelones’ rural interior also provides a wealth of estancias and farm venues for destination weddings, countryside receptions, and team-building retreats. These properties offer an authentic gaucho experience, with traditional asados, horseback riding, and wide-open spaces that immerse guests in Uruguay’s rural charm.

Cultural centres such as the Museo de la Uva y el Vino allow organisers to integrate educational components into their programs, showcasing the rich winemaking history of the region while offering unique venues for private events, tastings, and workshops.

With its exceptional variety of venues, close proximity to Montevideo, and strong wine and gastronomy reputation, Canelones delivers a flexible and highly desirable setting for event organisers — equally suited for luxury celebrations, corporate programs, or immersive cultural experiences.
