Bento Gonçalves Italian Immigration Experience

We will begin by picking you up from your hotel in Bento Gonçalves at the scheduled time, setting the stage for a journey into the traditions and heritage of the Italian immigrants. Our first stop will be the historic Caminho de Pedra, where we will explore the charming Cantina Strapazzón, renowned for its appearances in various films and television shows.

Bento Gonçalves serves as a vibrant open-air museum that showcases the village's history and strives to uphold the Italian immigrants' customs. Our culinary adventure will commence at the Casa do Tomate, a traditional house of the Italian settlers, featuring a tomato producer. Here, we will uncover the various products derived from this quintessential ingredient in Italian gastronomy.

No discussion of Italy is complete without a nod to its renowned pasta dishes. We will visit the Casa das Massas e do Artesanato, a handcrafted pasta shop famous for producing tortellini, capelettis, and even delightful biscuits. A true feast for the senses!

Moreover, Italians have also significantly influenced the Brazilian textile sector. To witness this impact, we'll explore the Casa de Tecelagem and Malhas G'Dom shops. Subsequently, our journey into Italian culture will continue with a focus on another of its celebrated contributions: wine. We will visit the Michele Carraro and Aurora vineyards, where we'll participate in a wine tasting experience.

At midday, we will take a pause to enjoy an Italian lunch featuring traditional dishes like pasta, risotto, chicken, and polenta.
