Maria Fumaça Train + Vineyard Harvest Tour

At 9 am, we'll meet at the train station to begin this experience in Bento Gonçalves, known as the Brazilian wine capital.

The tour will start with a ride on the Maria Fumaça train, also called the wine train. We will journey through the Serra Gaucha landscape, passing through villages like Carlos Barbosa and Garibaldi while tasting regional wines, champagnes, and grape juices. The stops will include live music performances.

Next, we will visit the Epopeia Italiana theme park to learn about the traditions of Italian immigrants. After that, we'll head to a family-owned wine estate to participate in the grape harvest.

We will pick grapes from the vines and tread them, following the Italian winemaking tradition. This moment will resemble a celebration, as locals cheer the grape treader.

After our experience at the wine estate, we will enjoy a traditional Italian appetizer called merendim, accompanied by traditional music.

The experience concludes with our return to Bento Gonçalves station, arriving around 4 pm.
