At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Caxias do Sul. From there, we'll head to the station to board the famous Maria Fumaça steam train.

This early 20th-century locomotive ran until the 1970s. Along the route, we'll explore traditions and customs of the Italian culture in this region. During the tour, you'll also get to taste wines, juices, and sparkling wines.

We will stop in the town of Carlos Barbosa, where we will attend an Italian show that narrates the story of European immigrants who settled in southern Brazil. After the show, you can enjoy an artisanal cookie and grape juice.

Next, we will visit the Epopeia Italiana theme park, which features nine life-size sets detailing the history of an Italian immigrant couple. You will enjoy a homemade cookie during the show.

In the afternoon, we will have a break for lunch to savor the local cuisine. Our final stop will be a winery in Bento Gonçalves, where you'll learn about grape growing and winemaking in this region, with a tasting included.

Finally, we'll conclude our tour and return to the starting point after 10 hours.
