Detailed itinerary

After hotels pick ups, the first stop is at Miolo Winery - the passion for the fascinating world of wine is explained by the history of the Miolo family who, in addition to working in winemaking since Giuseppe's arrival in Brazil in 1897, innovates year after year. One of the founders of the Wines of Brazil project, Miolo Wine Group is the largest wine exporter in Brazil and the most recognized in the international market. The production of the four wineries of the group amounts, on average, 10 million liters per year and is cultivated in an area of own vineyards with approximately 1,000 hectares. This is where we will participate in a Mini Wine Course and will taste five emblematic wines of the Miolo Group.

Afterwards, we will visit Lovara winery, moved by stories of people, places, work and achievements. Here we will see the Casa de Pedra, built in 1887 by the founder. On site, we will visit the vineyards and talk about the wine making process and tasting of 3 selected labels from Lovara vineyards.

The script goes to Cooperativa Vinícola Garibaldi, whose history began to be written in 1931, by the union of several families of farmers as an alternative to overcome the economic difficulties of the country at the time. Currently, there are more than 300 associated families who live from the production of grapes and the like for the Winery, in all cultivating more than 1000 hectares of vineyards. The Winery already had more than 15 international awards, all from events and contests in Europe.
