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 starts with a ride on the Maria Fumaça train, also called the wine train. This historic railroad takes us through the landscapes of the Serra Gaucha, passing scenic villages such as Carlos Barbosa and Garibaldi, while tasting regional wines, champagnes, and grape juices. Stops will feature live music.
Next, we'll visit the Epopeia Italiana theme park to learn about the traditions of Italian immigrants. After this, we will proceed to a family-owned wine estate.
At the estate, we'll participate in the grape harvest by picking grapes from the vines and treading them, a traditional juice extraction method from Italian winemaking. This experience is significant, as locals cheer for the grape treader.
Following the harvest, we'll enjoy a traditional Italian appetizer, the merendim, accompanied by traditional music.
The experience concludes with our return to Bento Gonçalves station, arriving around 4 pm.
