Maria Fumaça Train + Vineyard Harvest Tour

Maria Fumaça Train + Vineyard Harvest Tour

At 9 am, meet at the train station to begin the experience and immerse in the customs of Bento Gonçalves, known as the Brazilian wine capital.

The tour starts with a ride on the Maria Fumaça train, traveling through the landscapes of the Serra Gaucha and passing scenic villages such as Carlos Barbosa and Garibaldi, with tastings of local wines, champagnes, and grape juices. The journey features live music shows at various stops.

Next, visit the Epopeia Italiana theme park to learn about traditions left by Italian immigrants. Following this, head to a family-owned wine estate for a unique experience.

Participate in the grape harvest by picking grapes directly from the vines, followed by treading the grapes, a juice extraction method from Italian winemaking tradition. This moment is celebrated by locals who cheer for the grape treader.

After the wine estate experience, enjoy a traditional Italian appetizer known as merendim, complemented by traditional music.

The tour concludes with a return to Bento Gonçalves station, arriving around 4 pm.
