What about to visit a boutique winery? The visit to the Araucária winery is a great opportunity to taste excellent fine wines that are produced locally and are (still) not found in other states, since the production is small and nicely made! The visit includes a guided tour on the spot with visits to the vineyards and the production area, as well as tasting the wines produced on site.

The tour must be booked in advance and is available on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays at different times.

The Araucária Winery is located in São José dos Pinhais, only one hour from Curitiba. The landscape of Paraná Pine (Araucaria) forests is beautiful and the way there is very picturesque, with several rural properties.

A pioneer in the integration of vineyards and winemaking in Paraná, the Araucária winery has improved its production since 2007 and today produces red, white and sparkling wines. With this advance, it was possible to change the geography of the production of wines in Brazil and to include the parallel 25° S as a wine production area.

On site 8 varieties of grapes brought from Europe are grown: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Merlot, Nebbiolo and Toroldego. Two types of sparkling wines (Poty Brut and Poty Demi Sec), a fine white wine (Chardonnay Angustifolia) and three fine reds (Angustifolia Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). You will not find sweet wines or grape juice here – the wines produced on site are of high quality.

The facilities of the winery are beautiful and privilege the nature and the local art. Both the labels and the decoration bring works of the famous plastic artist Poty Lazzarotto.

Visit the vineyards, the wine production area and finishing with a tasting.

You can also purchase the wines of your choice as gifts or to remind yourself of this this delightful visit.

The place is fantastic, surrounded by huge Paraná pines, woods, fruit trees, riparian forest and a beautiful lake. The vineyard changes color every season.

After the visit, free time to walk some of the trails in the middle of the native forest of the property or lunch (optional – not included in the tour price) in the Gralha Azul restaurant. The restaurant opens Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays normally.
