Rota dos Espumantes Tour

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Bento Gonçalves at 1 pm to start this tour of the Rota dos Espumantes, where we'll learn about the history of champagne in Brazil.

The history began when Italian immigrant Manoel Peterlongo decided to create his favorite drink from Europe in 1913, following the natural fermentation process of French Dom Pérignon to produce the first Brazilian sparkling wine or 'espumante'.

The Rota dos Espumantes includes 17 wine estates, with three of the most prominent visited during the tour. We will start at the Domno winery, allowing tastings of its award-winning sparkling wines.

Next, we’ll visit Vinícola Peterlongo, a pioneer in Brazilian sparkling wines and the only winery permitted to label its products as 'champagne'. The architectural style resembles that of the Champagne region of France, featuring a 10,000 square metre underground cellar and a tasting session.

The last stop will be at Vinícola Garibaldi, a cooperative with over 90 years of history and more than 430 families involved in grape production. We will explore their range of sparkling wines before returning to Bento Gonçalves.

We will conclude the tour at your hotel at 5 pm.
