Sustainable Wineries, Charming Inns, And Landscapes That Recall The Countryside Of France Put The Serra Do Sudeste (RS) On The Radar Of The Most Demanding Travelers.
Imagine rolling green fields, fine wines, mild climate, and accommodations with a fireplace and high-standard local cuisine. Now imagine all of this away from the crowds of Gramado or Bento Gonçalves. This place exists — and it is in the heart of the Serra Do Sudeste, in Rio Grande Do Sul, a region that is being discovered by couples, families, and travelers in search of more authentic, exclusive, and sustainable experiences.
Where Is The Serra Do Sudeste?
The Serra Do Sudeste includes cities like Pinheiro Machado, Piratini, and Caçapava Do Sul, located between the Campaign Region and the traditional Serra Gaúcha. Despite its natural beauty and pleasant climate, the region is still off the traditional tourist routes, ensuring tranquility, authenticity, and more attractive prices.
Award-Winning Wines And Wine Tourism Experiences
One of the region’s great gems is the Guatambu Winery, in Dom Pedrito, known for its sustainable production, modern architecture, and wines that have won national and international awards. The place offers paired tastings, vineyard tours, and is considered a model of conscious wine tourism.
