Our first descent will be to taste a whiskey associated with peat, which we will do while delighting in the beauties of one of the largest peat bogs in the world. To do this, we will descend and have a tasting by the Ushuaia Whiskey Club team, in the Whiskey Bar, inside the Villa La Cotorras Winter Center.

This was great fun. Driver, guide, and fellow passengers made the trip. A rigorous ride with multiple stops and tastings. The grilled steaks and chorizo were a terrific touch. We bought a bottle along the way adding to the experience.

After wondering what to do during our layover in Ushuaia before our excursion to Antarctica, we thought we might as well drink. With no expectations other than trying whiskeys, we quickly realized that this excursion would be so much more. What we didn’t know when we booked this tour was that our guides would take us off the beaten path to places where we could talk culture, see the amazing views of Tierra del Fuego, and of course drink good whiskey. After seeing so many breathtaking sites, we were treated to a homestyle asado meal in Fagnano lake and enjoyed the company of our guides. This was one of the best ways to enjoy an afternoon in Ushuaia and surrounding areas without chartering a large tour bus or having to rent a car. We drank and ate heartily and sincerely enjoyed the company of our Argentinian host.This was a truly unique experience.

This was a truly unique experience. I was able to learn about the history of Tierra del Fuego while sampling whiskey. The evening before the tour, I was contacted and given a pick up time. The guide arrived right on schedule. The group was small and we traveled in a 4x4. The ride was very comfortable and the guide had a headset/mic connected to the radio that made hearing him during the ride extremely easy. On one of my favorite stops, we took some of the fresh water tumbling down a waterfall and added it to our whiskey. As the guide explained, adding a few drops of water allowed the whiskey to "open up" and we could taste the difference before and after adding the water. Another stop let us learn about a local family's history with the area. They had a small museum on site describing their journey and way of life. It was full of personal antidotes and fun stories. Plus, one of the family members was there and available for us to ask questions. The property was beautiful and we had time to wander around. Our last stop was dinner at a local restaurant right on the water. The views and food were amazing. Between the small group tour, the whiskey, and the food, it was definitely worth the money. I'd not only recommend this tour to friends, I'd probably take it again if I'm ever in the area.
