At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the Praça das Etnias in Gramado and commence the tour of the sets of 'The Quartet'. We will visit locations that inspired this feature film nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1996.

The Quartet, originally titled O Quatrilho, narrates the story of two couples of Italian origin who leave their home in search of a better life in Brazil, set in 1910 and based on real events, which will be detailed during the tour.

The itinerary includes a visit to the winery of the Lazaretti family on the outskirts of Gramado, showcasing its extensive vineyards and large wooden barrels, while exploring the history of this Italian farm.

We will traverse the landscapes of Campestre do Tigre and Tapera to learn about the life of the film’s protagonists and the history of Italian immigration in Rio Grande do Sul.

A stop at Grings Mill, an old mill for wheat, corn, rye, and rice, will also be made, highlighting its connection with The Quartet.

To conclude, we'll visit the Ramm family home for a traditional-style lunch reflecting the flavors of Italian and German immigration. We will finish the excursion at 7 pm, returning to the starting point.
