Bento Gonçalves is a charming city located in the Serra Gaúcha, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, known for its strong influence of Italian colonization, which is reflected in the local cuisine, architecture and traditions.

​

The city is one of the main wine-growing centers in Brazil, with renowned wineries that attract tourists from all over the country. Geographically, Bento Gonçalves stands out for its mountainous landscapes, verdant valleys and vineyards that spread across the hillsides. In September, the weather is mild and pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 53°F to 68°F, marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when nature begins to bloom, making the scenery even more

enchanting for visitors.

​

Our wedding venue, the Cave de Pedra winery, is located in the Vale dos Vinhedos, one of the most emblematic regions of Bento Gonçalves and one of the most important wine tourism destinations in Brazil. Located between the towns of Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi and Monte Belo do Sul, the valley enchants with its breathtaking landscapes, with hills covered in grapevines that change color

according to the seasons.

​

Strongly marked by the heritage of the Italian immigrants who arrived in the region at the end of the 19th century, the Vale dos Vinhedos preserves cultural and gastronomic traditions that enrich the visitor experience. The region is home to family-run wineries and large producers that offer tastings, guided tours and artisanal products such as cheeses, jams and pasta. In addition to the wine, the welcoming atmosphere and typical cuisine make the Vale dos Vinhedos an unmissable place for those seeking contact with the local culture, beautiful landscapes and moments of tranquillity.
