Visit to a Wine Estate with Lunch
Description
Description
This experience takes you to a charming wine estate where you will engage in the grape harvest, savor exquisite wines, and enjoy a delightful traditional Italian lunch that is certainly not to be missed.
Itinerary
The day begins at 9 am at Bento Gonçalves train station, where a transport service will be ready to take you to a picturesque, family-owned vineyard.
Upon arrival, you will observe the grape harvesting process and have the opportunity to partake in its various stages. We will start by harvesting grapes, followed by an invigorating Italian aperitif known as 'merendim'. As you enjoy this meal, you will be serenaded by local women singing traditional songs, giving you a glimpse into the era of Italian immigration.
After this refreshing break, you will proceed to the exciting activity of treading grapes, using the time-honored technique of extracting juice by stepping on the grapes—a truly unforgettable experience!
As a reward for your efforts, a scrumptious lunch featuring authentic Italian cuisine awaits. To complete the day, you will also have the chance to taste wines, champagne, and chocolates, along with a guided tour of the estate's facilities.
The journey concludes with our return to the meeting point, wrapping up at 4 pm.
