Maria Fumaça Ride + Bento Gonçalves Winery Tour

Your adventure begins when we pick you up at your hotel in Caxias do Sul. Once aboard our transport, we’ll proceed to the train station to embark on the iconic Maria Fumaça steam locomotive.

This historical train, operational since the early 1900s until the 1970s, offers a glimpse into the vibrant Italian customs that have shaped this area. Along the way, enjoy samples of wines, juices, and sparkling wines as we immerse ourselves in the local culture.

We'll make a stop at Carlos Barbosa, where an Italian cultural performance will offer insights into the journey of European settlers who chose southern Brazil as their new homeland. Following the show, you'll be treated to an artisanal cookie and grape juice, a delightful experience!

Our next stop is the Epopeia Italiana theme park, where we’ll dive deeper into the stories of the European immigrants who settled in southern Brazil. The park features nine life-sized exhibits that narrate the tale of an Italian immigrant couple. Enjoy the performance while relishing a homemade cookie – it’s sure to please!

In the afternoon, take a break to savor local cuisine. We'll conclude our journey at a winery in Bento Gonçalves, where you’ll learn about viticulture and the winemaking process in this renowned area. Don’t miss the chance to participate in a wine tasting—a delightful toast to the end of our day!

After ten hours filled with discovery, we will return to the starting point to bid farewell.
