At Maria Fumaça - Trem do Vinho, visitors board a steam train that runs along the railway between the cities of Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi and Carlos Barbosa and watch cultural presentations that liven up the carriages.
During the journey you will be able to taste wines, sparkling wines and red grape juice. Immersion in Italian culture is told at the Epopeia Italiana Cultural Park, a show with nine life-size scenarios that portray the story of the couple Lázaro and Rosa, Italian immigrants who went through countless difficulties upon arriving in Brazil and, after much effort, managed to prosper in the lands of Rio Grande do Sul. The show includes tasting colonial biscuits and white grape juice.
