Salton visitors watch grapes roll in live during Brazil’s harvest, diving into Serra Gaúcha’s vindima and secrets of the nation’s top sparkling wines.
Harvest Boosts Wine Tourism
Serra Gaúcha buzzes with vindima, the grape harvest shaking vineyards and drawing crowds. Brazil’s oldest active winery, Salton—sparkling wine leader—ramps up guided tours through January and February.
Tours let guests see partner growers deliver fresh grapes. They taste iconic labels and tour underground cellars. Secret Cellar food-wine pairings book fast.
Salton tours run year-round, rain or shine. But harvest season lets visitors get up close to the grapes and see every step from fruit to bottle.
Executive director Luciana Salton highlights the fruit’s path to global acclaim.
35K Visitors in 2025
Wine tourism forges consumer bonds. Salton hosted 35,000 in 2025. President Mauricio Salton calls it key to brand value and immersion.
