Rota dos Espumantes Tour

If you're in Bento Gonçalves and want to visit the best sparkling wine-producing estates in Brazil, you can't miss this tour of the Rota dos Espumantes.

Tour Details

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

It all started when the Italian immigrant Manoel Peterlongo decided to make his favorite drink from Europe. In 1913, Peterlongo followed the natural fermentation process to create the first Brazilian sparkling wine, known as 'espumante'.

The Rota dos Espumantes includes 17 wineries, and on this tour, we’ll visit two notable ones. We’ll start at the Devorata Chocolate Truffle Shop, known for its truffles made with sparkling wine.

Next, we’ll visit Peterlongo Winery, a pioneer in Brazilian sparkling wine. It is the only winery in Brazil authorized to use the word "champagne" on its labels. We’ll explore its 10,000-square-meter underground wine cellar and enjoy a tasting session. We’ll also return to Devorata to indulge in their signature truffles.

Our last stop will be at Vinícola Garibaldi, a co-op with more than 90 years of history and over 430 families involved in grape production. We'll learn about the sparkling wines produced by the estate before returning to Bento Gonçalves.

We'll finish the tour at your hotel after 4 hours.
