I order different kinds of Salami per post. Always arrive in time, well packed. Most important, for the same prize as the big brands, but in this case with real, good, authentic taste. All the products are from excellent quality. Absolutely worth a try if you like good salami.
(Translated by Google) The building was carefully built and meticulously maintained. The garden is well-organized. Excellent selection of salami, which allows you to sample (a certain amount is free, but the price is not exorbitant if you want to try more). The wild boar salami is very good, and the lamb salami is also quite different. (Original) Prédio construído com cuidado e mantido com capricho. Jardim organizado. Excelentes opções de salames, permitem degustação (gratuita certa quantidade, porém valor não é exorbitante caso queira provar mais). O de javali é muito bom, de ovelha também bastante diferente
(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise on my first visit. A good variety of salamis, from traditional to seasoned and spicy. I took the opportunity to try the pizzas they serve there and was not disappointed. They were very good. The service was very attentive. (Original) Uma grata surpresa na minha primeira visita ao local. Uma variedade boa de salames desde o colonial até os temperados e apimentados. Aproveitei a parada para experimentar as Pizzas que eles servem no local e não me decepcionei. Estavam muito boas. Atendimento foi muito atencioso.

(Translated by Google) My husband and I did the tasting because we wanted to try all the options, and what a wise decision it was. The pancetta and fennel salami are incredible. The space is great, with a beautiful view for tasting and relaxing. (Original) Eu e meu marido fizemos a degustação, pois ficamos com vontade de provar todas as opções e que decisão acertada. A pancetta e o salame de erva-doce são incríveis. O espaço é ótimo, tem uma bela vista pra degustar e relaxar
(Translated by Google) A charming place. Excellent service and a wide variety of salamis, etc. (Original) Uma simpatia de lugar. Excelente atendimento e muita variedade de salames etc.
(Translated by Google) There are many charcuterie options available, and they offer tastings, allowing you to choose any of the cuts to try. This was great because we were able to take home what our palates approved of: copa in wine, cacciatore, and guanciale (we didn't try it; it's a prime cut from the pork cheek that requires some preparation). (Original) Muitas opções de embutidos e dispõe de degustação, podendo escolher qualquer uma das peças para provar. Isso foi muito bom, pois foi possível levar o que nosso paladar aprovou: copa no vinho, cacciatore e guanciale (não provamos, é um corte nobre da bochecha do porco, com necessidade de um preparo).

Today we stopped just for the store and look around. It is even beautiful than was years before. We went to tasting a few grapes to choose which buy. The sales guy was extremely kind and explained very well the difference between the grapes. Totally recommend. I would highly recommend the visitation, I did a few times in the past and it is really nice and beautiful. Try their nature sparkling it is amazing
Casa Valduga is one of those places in the world that you can not miss! I visited this winery in May 2025, during my trip to the Vale dos Vinhedos area. Their hospitality, food, and, more importantly, the quality of the wine is unavailable!! You must try their sparkling wine called 130 Blanc de Blancs. It is to die for! BTW, Luisa Valduga is the best host ever, and their wine cellar is out of this world!
Amazing winery where is one of the most famous one in Brazil. We can enjoy tasting with a lot of options including rare wine. Their wines are fruity, tasty, and simple good. In addition, we can have cuisine in their restaurant. It is course menu, but we can choose each food with several options.
Every single person from Valduga treated us graciously and respectful, without rush, teaching us about everything we asked about. We were awarded a very funny and long chat with one of the owners, Mr. João Valduga, who more than just explain about the place, made thousand of good jokes, promoting the same sensation of being in a small and familiar winery. Most important! They have a cute dog called Nero waling over there
Casa Valdua's tour was an amazing experience (even though I bought the cheapest one). We went through Casa Valdua's history while walking inside the their cave. Also, we tried a select set o wines and champagne. We could see their special cave where Gregorian music is played to the wine. In the end we had short tour outside Casa Valduga.
Great winery in a beautiful spot in the hills. Alexandre was able to give us a fantastic tour, in English, at very short notice. He also gave a very informative tasting of their wines. Great time.
A winery with more than 130 years and still very creative and dedicated to serve the best
Great price for the amount and quality. Fresh, tasty food and friendly staff.

This is the biggest winery in Brazil. I took the tour with the guide and she explained everything to me in details. Before the end of the tour, they teach you how to drink the wine. Definitely recommended
Absolutely a deception in regards of presentation and expectation. Perhaps my expectation was really high, but I definitely was expecting much more of a vineyard like Miolo. I love the scooters collection. But the person presenting the history and the wine fabrication was so robotic and not passionated about the products, productions and the history itself. A pity! Hope they can improve.
Years ago I used to come quite often.. I did the tasting, visitation etc. this year I went just to buy one specific wine (Lote 43). I wanted to try other wines (specifically the pinot noir. For my surprise they told us they don’t do more tasting of single bottles and you have to do the paid tasting. They would allowed me to do to the tasting without the visitation, but when I asked which wines were included they would not tell. But basically pinot noir would not be one of them. So what’s the purpose? You go to a winery to try the flavour and then buy a bottle. The staff it is nice the place ia beautiful but the wine purchase was disappointed and then after coming here before definitely not coming back
One of the most known Brazilian winery. Pleasant environment. Guided wine tour available.
Awesome place. I strong recommend a visit and the guided tour.
This place has a nice view and good structure. Visited it there with my family and it all started bad with the cashier, who also seems to be the manager there. She was extremely rude when we were picking the items we wanted and inquired about the extremely high cost of the wine glasses (yes, you have to buy the glasses).
Went here for a wine tour during the week. Did several other wine tours in the area over 1,5 weeks before. The company has become a typical example of a company growing too fast. Amongst other things this made it lose its authenticity. The tour guide sought no connection with the crowd and talks in a way someone would give a presentation in a primary school. Other employees are just at the company for work and do not really seem to care about their customers. It almost seems that the company scale increase made it lose just that which allowed it to grow: a good story; passionate people; a company that is actually working on a product instead of providing models "showing" the proces; and a tasting with a build in flavors instead of a mix. If you just want to be informed on a factory proces and taste some wine: go here. If you want to be guided through authentic companies by passionate people who do what they love: go elsewhere. There a plenty of companies in the area around Bento which are worth a visit. This could be on the same road, or in other areas like Faria Lemos.
Tradicional winery from Vale dos Vinhedos with a great tour through the installations and helpful staff. Also, if you pick the wine tasting you can get back R$ 20 at the store.

It is like to be in a class learning about how Italians migrate to Brazil. Every station of the presentation is very well explained in detail about their journey from Italy to Brazil. The scenery is very nice and can lead you back to those days when they came to Brazil. I highly recommend.
If you would like to know the history of Italian immigration in Brazil, this is a good place. You walk through old houses and villages and hear an Italian character talking about the trip, very interesting.
Wonderful experience. A little short for the price but very enjoyable. Great for family and kids.
Very interesting story. At the end, they served wine, juice and some biscuits. Very pleasant visit
Different animated way to learn the story of so many immigrants, focus on a Italian couple but could be the example of many others!
I very much enjoyed learning some of the rich history and experience of Italian immigrants who came to Brazil
A nice experience. It was a reduced version of it, due to covid19, but still enjoyable.

Free entrance ! Very kind worker! I got a private tour as I did not speak Portuguese. The tour guide was in English and at the end there is a wine tasting of 7 bottles aprox. The interior decoration is beautiful with Greek Gods, saints for protection, and shows all the flags of exporting countries in descending order! Really worth it and at the end you can buy bottles at a discount.
An excellent experience. Special thanks to "Julia" who was our guide and doing her first English speaking tour - she was fantastic. We arrived for a tour in the early afternoon and were lucky to be in a small group of 2. Julia gave us an excellent guided tour and then we went to a private tasting room. The wines, and Julia's commentary, were first class. We were allowed to taste some special wines. We really enjoyed it. The tour was free, and we bought some wine to take away.
The tour was nice and the wine delicious!
The tour on the winery is for free, the guides are really polite and the tasting at the end of the tour is really good. The place is beautiful and it's worth the visit. If you like something in the winery shop, buy it because the prices are better than on a supermarket
The tour is totally FREE of charge and it is amazing. They show a brief video about the place and origin and a guided tour that goes underground to see the huge tanks where the wine and other products are made. Ending with a tasting session where you can try the the multiple times awarded wine selection. You can't go wrong by taking this tour...
Very beautiful place to visit in Bento Gonçalo

Very cute farm of sheep. The owl and falcon shows are amazing, too. The baby sheep seem to be very hungry and it's sad that they're not able to drink from their mother's but are instead bottle fed.
Amazing! Feed the sheep is very cool! I’m very happy to try this. Want to do it again! Great place!
(Translated by Google) Wow, what an incredible place! We bought the full passport, and it was worth every penny. The adventure with the shepherd, right at the beginning, was incredible. We saw the entire farm and even had a picnic. I forgot our driver's name, lol, but we loved all the explanations along the way. I'd like to take this opportunity to praise all the staff... friendly and helpful. The bird of prey handler was also incredibly cheerful, putting everyone at ease. The experience of holding the birds is thrilling. Lunch at the restaurant is very good, and the staff are all friendly; we were very well looked after. Needless to say, every interaction with the sheep was spectacular. All good things deserve to be shared, and we highly recommend the tour. (Original) Gente, que lugar incrível! Compramos o passaporte completo e valeu cada centavo. A aventura com o pastor, logo no início, é demais. Conhecemos toda fazenda e ainda tivemos um piquenique. Esqueci o nome do nosso motorista kkk mas adoramos todas as explicações durante o trajeto. Aproveito para elogiar todos os funcionários... simpáticos e solicitos. O profissional das aves de rapina também, uma alegria sem igual que deixa todos à vontade. A experiência de segurar as aves é emocionante. No restaurante o almoço é muito bom e os funcionários todos simpáticos, fomos muito bem atendidas. Toda interação com as ovelhas preciso nem dizer, foi espetacular. Enfim, apenas elogios. Tudo que é bom merece ser compartilhado e recomendamos muito o passeio.
(Translated by Google) Wonderful!! Super organized place, extremely friendly staff, well-cared-for animals, and delicious products (I'd never tasted anything made with sheep's milk other than pecorino cheese). I recommend purchasing the complete package if you enjoy rural tourism or have children with you. My young children (2 and 4) loved it and didn't want to leave. (Original) Maravilhoso!! Lugar super organizado, equipe extremamente simpatica, animais muito bem cuidados e produtos deliciosos (eu nunca havia degustado nada com leite de ovelha a nao ser o queijo pecorino). Sugiro comprar o pacote completo se gostam de turismo rural ou estiverem com crianças. Meus filhos pequenos amaram (2 e 4 anos) e nao queriam vir embora.
(Translated by Google) The interaction with the animals is very good, the sheep are so cute ❤️❤️❤️ If you buy your ticket in advance through the website you get a discount, and there are discounts for students buying directly there (Original) A interação com os animais é muito boa, as ovelhas são umas fofuras ❤️❤️❤️ se comprar o ingresso antecipado pelo site tem um descontinho, e há descontos para estudantes comprando diretamente lá
(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience! I already want to go back. I recommend arriving early to enjoy the full itinerary. For those just doing the day's itinerary, it's also worth it. The store's products are delicious—try them. (Original) Experiência maravilhosa! Já quero voltar. Recomendo chegarem cedo para aproveitar toda a programação do roteiro completo. Para quem vai fazer apenas o cronograma do dia, vale a pena também. Os produtos da loja são muito saborosos, provem.
(Translated by Google) It was great to have this contact with the sheep. I used the PRIME GOURMET plan and only paid for one entry for the couple. (Original) Foi ótimo ter esse contato com as ovelhas. Usei o PRIME GOURMET, paguei somente uma entrada pelo casal.
