Distillery
Food & Drink
Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) Very interesting! A distillery that maintains a tradition that has been maintained for generations, producing cachaça in its original version, moving away a little from the current business model of cachaças that are "gourmetized" and mass-produced. Trying to remain "punk and pragmatic" as it has historically been, unfortunately the system loves to screw over small producers by putting a lot of tolls in their path, and the brand is no different, even though it is a listed environment and had to change its production method to adapt to the system. The cachaça produced there is difficult to find in regular supermarkets; in local stores like the central market of São João Del Rey, you can find it, but since it is outsourced, the price is different; online, it is easy to find it. There is an idea of ​​growing the brand, but in a way that does not change the way in which the cachaça is made and maintaining the family culture, which is what really matters. Currently, most distilleries follow the Gourmet style and Mass Production. Gourmetization Cachaças "seasoned" in barrels made of all different types of wood, even using barrels from abroad that are used in wines, which alter the flavor of the cachaça. Mass production Cachaças made almost 100% automatically by machines and without any appreciation for the people who are making them, aiming for profit above all else. They work with two brands, Século VIII and Santo Graau, the latter being a "collab" of fellow distillers from different states, such as RJ and SP, who produce cachaça and use the name Santo Graau. The cachaças that I particularly consider original there are Século XIII. Século XIII blue label R$60 is the "basic" model that when you drink it, at first it goes down a little silently but the heat rises and quickly fades away. People joke about the experience that it is like an "unexpected, almost stolen kiss". A better experience is to drink a dose of 50ml or more in which the aftertaste remains. It is a cachaça that at first seems to be soft but its 48% is quite noticeable when drinking the amount of 50ml or more. The Red label R$250 is a model that was stored for 12 years. When you drink it, at first it is very subtle and reminded me of something like lychee and gradually it warms up. If you are not careful, you can drink this one without seeing it. It was a good experience to have gone to a historical museum in operation. (Original) Muito interessante! Um alambique que mantém uma Tradição que é mantida por gerações produzindo cachaça na sua versão original fugindo um pouco do modelo de negócio atual de cachaças que são "gourmetizadas" e produzidas em massa. Tentando se manter "punk e pragmática" como sempre foi historicamente, infelizmente o sistema adora ferrar com o pequeno produtor botando um monte de pedágio$$$ no caminho, e com a marca não é diferente, mesmo sendo um ambiente tombado e teve que modificar a sua forma de produção pra se adequar com o sistema. A cachaça produzida ali difícilmente se encontra em supermercado comum, em comércio local como o mercado central de São João Del Rey até que encontra mas como é terceirizado o preço já é outro, online até que é fácil de ser encontrada. há uma ideia de crescimento da marca porém de uma forma que não altere a forma na qual a cachaça é feita e mantendo a cultura familiar que é o que realmente importa. Atualmente maioria dos alambiques seguem o estilo Gourmet e o Produção em massa. Gourmetização Cachaças "temperadas" em tonéis de madeiras de todos tipos diferentes chegando até usar tonéis do exterior que são usados em vinhos que altera o sabor da cachaça. Produção em massa Cachaças feitas quase que 100% de forma automática por máquinas e sem nenhum apreço por quem ali está fazendo, visando lucro acima de tudo. Eles trabalham com 2 marcas, A Século VIII e a Santo Graau, esta que é um "collab" de colegas alambiqueiros de estados diferentes como RJ e SP que produzem a cachaça e usam o nome Santo Graau, As cachaças que particularmente considero originais ali são as Século XIII. Século XIII rótulo azul R$60 é o modelo "básico" que ao beber ela, de início desce pouco silenciosa mas o calor sobe e se esvaia rapidamente brinca-se da experiência que é como um "beijo inesperado quase que roubado" uma melhor experiencia é beber uma dose de 50ml ou mais na qual o retrogosto se mantém. É uma cachaça que de início parece ser molezinha mas os seus 48% são bem perceptíveis ao beber a quantia de 50ml pra + O rótulo Vermelho R$250 é um modelo que ficou armazenado por 12 anos ao beber de início é bem sútil e me lembrou algo como lichia e gradualmente vai esquentando, essa daí se o cara ñ ficar esperto bebe sem vê. Foi uma boa experiência ter ido em um museu histórico em atividade.
(Translated by Google) I gave it four stars because the access is a steep, rocky path that can be quite difficult to get up and down, depending on the type of car you use. But it's a place you can't miss when you're in the Tiradentes or São João del Rei region. It belonged to Tiradentes' brother and remains in the family. Today, it's looked after by the seventh generation of descendants. A very simple place, but with very friendly staff who walk you through the spaces of the place explaining how everything used to work and what still works. There are at least three cachaça to taste. I recommend trying them all!!! LOL 🤭 In January 2024, cachaça cost R$60.00 (normal ones) and R$250.00 (a 20-year-old drink). I recommend it!!! (Original) Dei quatro estrelas, pois o acesso é uma descida com pedregulhos meio complicada de descer e subir dependendo do carro. Mas é um lugar que não se pode deixar de visitar quando estiver na região de Tiradentes ou São João del Rei. Pertenceu ao irmão de Tiradentes e permanece na família. Hoje cuidam de lá descendentes da sétima geração. Local bem simples, mas com atendimento muito simpático que caminha com você pelos espaços do local explicando como cada coisa funcionava e o que ainda funciona. Há pelo menos três pingas para degustação. Recomendo experimentar todas!!! Kkkk 🤭 Em Janeiro de 2024, as pingas custavam R$60,00 (as normais) e R$250,00 (uma curtida por 20 anos). Recomendo!!!
(Translated by Google) The place breathes history. It’s a historic farm with artisanal cachaça production, almost as it was 200 years ago. You can taste the cachaças and also take a tour of the place, which is free. They sell bottles of cachaça at a very affordable price. I loved meeting the descendants of our national hero. I stayed in Tiradentes but I made sure to visit the farm, which is about 30 minutes away, in the town of Coronel Xavier Chaves. This tour is definitely worth it for those who like history and the white stuff!!!! (Original) O lugar respira história. Fazenda histórica e com a produção artesanal de cachaça, quase como feita há 200 anos atrás. Vc pode provar as cachaças e também fazer um tour pelo lugar, que é gratuito. Eles vendem a garrafa de cachaça por um preço super acessível. Amei conhecer os descendentes do nosso herói nacional. Fiquei em Tiradentes mas fiz questão de visitar a fazenda que fica há uns 30 min, no município de Coronel Xavier Chaves. Esse passeio vale muito a pena pra quem gosta de história e da branquinha!!!!
(Translated by Google) We heard about the cachaça and went to visit the mill on impulse, without even thinking about booking an appointment or anything. We arrived there on a Tuesday morning, completely unplanned, and even so we were very well received! We loved everything about it, the place, the people, the stories and, of course, the cachaça! It was totally worth it! (Original) Ficamos sabendo sobre a cachaça e fomos visitar o engenho no impulso, nem vimos sobre marcar horário e nem nada. Chegamos lá numa terça pela manhã, totalmente sem planejamento, e mesmo assim fomos super bem recebidos! Adoramos tudo, o lugar, as pessoas, as histórias e, claro, a cachaça! Vale muito a pena!
(Translated by Google) This is a cachaça production still with a lot of history to tell. The production has been maintained by generations of descendants of Tiradentes himself. The production process is genuinely artisanal and the cachaça is of exceptional quality. I didn't give it five stars because the tour service could still be improved. But for those who are only interested in buying top-quality cachaça from Minas Gerais, go there without fear of making a mistake. (Original) Trata-se de um alambique de produção de cachaça com muita história pra contar. A produção tem sido mantida por gerações de descendentes do próprio Tiradentes. O processo de produção é legitimamente artesanal e a cachaça de qualidade excepcional. Não dou cinco estrelas porque o serviço de visitação ainda pode melhorar. Mas pra quem se interessa apenas em adquirir cachaça mineira de primeira, vá sem medo de errar.
(Translated by Google) Excellent opportunity to learn about the origins of cachaça production in Brazil, a cachaça factory that maintains the tradition of producing this Brazilian drink, not to mention the quality of the cachaça produced and sold by them. It is well worth the visit!!! (Original) Excelente oportunidade de conhecer as origens da produção de cachaça no Brasil, cachaçaria que mantém a tradição da produção dessa bebida brasileira, isso sem falar na qualidade da cachaça produzida e vendida por eles. Vale muito a visita!!!
(Translated by Google) For those who enjoy a good cachaça or for those who are simply curious to learn more about the process, this cachaça distillery is an excellent stop. At first I thought I had come to the wrong place, with an old and empty building, but I went in and found a very friendly employee who told me about the entire cachaça production process. As they are the oldest producers in the world still in operation, they have several aged bottles, some 18 years old that cost R$150 and others 33 years old that cost R$600. (Original) Para quem gosta de uma boa cachaça ou para quem apenas tem curiosidade de conhecer mais sobre o processo, essa cachaçaria é uma parada excelente. Em um primeiro momento achei que estava no ligar errado, com uma casa velha e vazia, mas fui entrando até encontrar uma funcionária muito simpática que me contou sobre todo o processo de produção da cachaça. Como eles são os produtores mais antigos do mundo ainda em funcionamento, eles tem várias garrafas envelhecidas, algumas de 18 anos que custam R$150 até outras de 33 anos custando R$ 600.
(Translated by Google) Boa Vista Coronel Xavier Chaves Sugar Mill - 18th century Still in operation, producing the famous cachaça of the same name: "Século XVIII", an award-winning brand. And which also gives rise to the great "Cachaça Clássica Santo Grau". An inspiring place, with moving parts of the sugar mill, aromas, tasting, talking to the owners who are now the 8th generation of the first producer... pure history!!! (Original) Engenho Boa Vista Coronel Xavier Chaves - século XVIII Em atividade até o momento produzindo a famosa cachaça do mesmo nome: "Século XVIII" premiadíssima. E que dá origem a também grandiosa "Cachaça Clássica Santo Grau". Lugar inspirador, peças do engenho em movimento, aromas, degustação, conversar com os proprietários que hoje pertencem a 8° geração do primeiro produtor...história pura!!!

Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) Beautiful little church in the peaceful Coronel Xavier area. It was originally plastered, but when it was renovated, it was noticed that it looks better without the plaster. (Original) Linda igrejinha da Pacata Coronel Xavier. Originalmente ela era rebocada mas ao reformar notou se que ela sem o reboco fica melhor visualmente.
(Translated by Google) Although I am not a Catholic, I really admire the Baroque architecture of the region. My daughter loves the little stone church. (Original) Embora não seja adepto ao catolicismo, admiro demais a arquitetura barroca da região. Minha filha adora a igrejinha de pedra.
(Translated by Google) I recommend A different architecture for this region The viewpoint is worth visiting. (Original) Recomendo Uma arquitetura diferente para esta região Vale a pena visitar o mirante.
(Translated by Google) There are no records of the history of the “Little Church of the Rosary”. The date of construction and the names of its builders are unknown. According to Cida Chaves, “there is a stone in the Little Church of the Rosary dated 1717. The chapel belonged to the Mosquito Farm, which, as was customary in Brazil, had another chapel in its private home for the devotion of the people and slaves of the house”. It should be noted that the Mosquito Farm was one of the three farms whose lands were divided among relatives of Colonel Xavier Chaves, which gave rise to the city. (Original) Não existem registros sobre a história da “Igrejinha do Rosário”. Data de construção e nome de seus construtores são desconhecidos. De acordo com Cida Chaves “existe na Igrejinha do Rosário uma pedra datada de 1717. A capela pertencia à Fazenda do Mosquito que, como era costume no Brasil, possuía, na sua intimidade, uma outra capela para devoção das pessoas e escravos da casa”. Deve-se registrar que a Fazenda do Mosquito foi uma das três fazendas cujas terras foram divididas entre parentes do Coronel Xavier Chaves, o que deu origem à cidade.
(Translated by Google) The Stone Church (Nossa Senhora do Rosário) is charming. A Christian monument that recalls the medieval buildings of Europe. The place is cozy and brings great peace with its simplicity and the silence that surrounds it. It is worth visiting the church and the beautiful and picturesque town of Coronel Xavier Chaves. Unforgettable. (Original) A Igreja de Pedra (Nossa Senhora do Rosário) é encantadora. Um monumento cristão que lembra as construções medievais da Europa. O lugar é aconchegante e traz uma grande paz com sua simplicidade e o silêncio que a rodeia. Vale visitar a igreja e a linda e pitoresca cidade de Coronel Xavier Chaves. Inesquecível.
(Translated by Google) Little Church of the Rosary made entirely of stone by slaves (Original) Igrejinha do Rosário toda feita em Pedra pelos Escravos
(Translated by Google) Beautiful and very well preserved church. (Original) Igreja linda e muito bem conservada.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, in the middle of a city that seems to have stopped in time. But I wasn't able to visit the interior. (Original) Igreja linda, no meio de uma cidade que parece que parou no tempo. Mas não consegui visitar o interior.
