It is home to a number of different restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. Our host will be We Wine, a place dedicated to promoting local wines and the best international ones. You will taste three different types of Ecuadorian wine while learning about the origin and properties of each one (duration: 1-2 hour). After these experiences, our driver will take you back to your hotel.
