Discover Rio Grande's thriving craft beer scene and its extraordinary Gaucho food culture on a private guided tasting journey through the city's best local producers, pairing artisan ales and lagers with the region's finest smoked meats, regional cheeses, and traditional sweets.
What to expect
Your private guide leads you through Rio Grande's historic streets with insider access to the small-batch craft breweries that have put this southern port city on Brazil's burgeoning beer map, guided by brewmasters who explain the German and Italian immigrant influences on their recipes. At each stop, local products are paired with extraordinary care — smoked linguiça from a century-old butcher, aged Serra Gaúcha cheeses, and the region's famous doce de leite sweets. A final stop at a traditional Gaucho café introduces you to the ritual of erva-mate chimarrão, sipped from a carved gourd exactly as Gauchos have shared it for generations.
