Vieni Vivere la Vita highlights Monte Belo do Sul flavors

Vieni Vivere la Vita runs November 21–23 with gastronomy, wine, crafts and artistic shows in Monte Belo do Sul.

Monte Belo do Sul was shaped by traditions, with enogastronomy expressing the most flavorful side of its identity. This essence guides the Vieni Vivere la Vita Festival, taking place from November 21 to 23 in the town’s central area. Outdoors and surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of a village-like setting, the event invites visitors to enjoy meals beneath tree shade or dinners illuminated by lights that make Praça Padre José Ferlin even more charming.

The square will gather 23 local establishments showcasing wines, sparkling wines, gastronomy and artisanal and agroindustrial products. In its sixth edition, the festival features nine restaurants. The menu includes pastries, burgers, skewers, lasagna, grilled polenta, fried capeletti, tortéi, entrecot and piadina, reflecting local entrepreneurship.

Among the newcomers is Dona Francesca, joining the festival for the first time. “We have high expectations! Vieni is a large event that attracts many visitors and moves the city. It is a great opportunity to promote our work,” says Michelly Bombana, partner of the brand known for frozen meals and handmade pasta.

At the event, Dona Francesca will offer individual lasagnas in mushroom and Bolognese versions, as well as fried capeletti and freshly made grostoli. Michelly highlights that festivals like Vieni strengthen local production and small businesses by showcasing brands committed to homemade food prepared with natural ingredients.

Others are longstanding partners, such as the winery Seis Mãos, joining the festival for the third time. “We will present a wine that will be launched soon and toast to the good things in life at this event, which is crucial for our city,” says winemaker Caroline Gonzatti. She explains that Vieni creates opportunities to connect directly with consumers.

The winery will bring labels such as Rose Solo and Sol por Seis Mãos, both aged in Brazilian wood. Caroline encourages visitors to discover the new wine exclusively at the festival stand.

The event also includes agroindustry and craft exhibitors, such as Artesanato Benatti, De Costa Cogumelos e Alho Negro, Senzafine Lavandas and Produtos Coloniais Gabriel. Nearly 15 artistic attractions complete the gathering, including the Argentine band Three Gees, performing a Bee Gees tribute on the 22nd.
