Pisano Family Wines from Uruguay with Niko – Wednesday 4th March 2026

Pisano Family Wines is nestled in Progreso, 45 minutes uphill from Montevideo, some 20km from the broadest point of the Rio del Plata estuary before it meets the chill of the South Atlantic. The Pisano family share an Italian and Basque heritage and this family-run estate traces its roots back to 1914, when Italian immigrant, Don Césare Secundino Pisano, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards there. Today, the fourth generation of Pisano’s, brothers Daniel, Eduardo, and Gustavo, keep tradition alive.First and foremost, Pisano is a family winery and each brother brings his own passion: Eduardo manages vineyard care with artisanal precision; Gustavo oversees the cellar and blending; and Daniel, the family’s charismatic spokesperson, drives exports to far‑flung places, even to Antarctica, bringing Uruguay into the global wine conversation.The Pisano family are fiercely proud of Tannat, Uruguay’s flagship grape. They balance tradition with experimentation, selecting clones, adjusting yields, and refining techniques to capture both the grape’s depth and the land’s character. We will be tasting 4 of their beautiful wines and serving you some wonderful food.

Their mission? To craft wines that are not merely good, but distinctly expressive, shaped by a century‑old Italian‑Basque heritage, and delivered with unmistakable Uruguayan soul. Eduardo Pisano was named Viticulturalist of the Year 2025 by Tim Atkin MW.

To go with the wines, we will be serving some authentic Uruguayan food – please email us when you book tickets to let us know if you have any dietary requirements including if you are vegetarian or vegan.
