The 3 Wine Tours in Colombia That Earn Their Price

1.Cruise by the Bay with Dinner and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 142 reviews · 2 hours · from $70Our pick

Board at La Bodeguita Tourist Pier for a two-hour evening cruise past Bocagrande, Castillogrande, Manga, Getsemani, and Cartagena’s old city. Enjoy a seafood, beef, chicken, or shrimp main course, with wine available on selected packages. Carla is among the attentive crew members praised for personal service.

“The cruise itself was exceptional, excellent service and highly recommended.My one very important observation was the apparent confusion as to the organization of what package you purchased and what was implied once we boarded.Once you enter the dock, someone verifies your reservation and directs you to the proper boat staging area with chairs, once there, someone else comes along and takes your meal choice. Notice you can seat wherever in this staging area, but when its time to board, they start in order from the chairs closest to the boat.When we boarded, we where asked to 'choose' from upstairs or downstairs, there appeared to be no difference in the meal…”

Join Sebastian and his crew for a private 2.5-hour sailing trip from San Fernando through Tigre Delta and onto the Rio de la Plata. Enjoy Argentine empanadas and red wine, then let the wind power the boat across the world’s widest river.

“Sebastian was a wonderful guide, a competent skipper, and a courteous host. He met us on time, made certain we had a good sail, and ensured we made it safely back to the hotel. He even provided gluten free empanadas for me. I highly recommend sailing with Sebastian.”

3.Ancient Rome Wine Tasting in Cartagena Spain

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $93

Start at Cartagena’s port at 1:30 pm, then visit Casa de la Fortuna and Cartago Mundi for four wines, Roman-style cheese, sauces, and food based on archaeological research. You can dress as a Roman senator or matron, learn about the city, and finish back at the meeting point.

“This is SUCH a fun activity, I highly recommend it!! Our walking tour guide was knowledgeable and explained the context of what we were seeing at our first stop (a Roman-era house) clearly but also with an entertaining flair. The highlight of course is the second stop, with wine and tapas prepared based on lessons archaeologists have learned from excavating Pompeii. The wine and food were excellent and made for a filling lunch. The hostess is fun and also knowledgeable.”
