Fête des Vignerons du Languedoc

Festa do Vinho Verde
Ponte de Lima, Portugal
A celebration of Portugal's iconic Vinho Verde in the beautiful medieval town of Ponte de Lima. Producers from across the Minho region pour their fresh, light wines alongside local cuisine.

Festival de Inverno & Vinho de Altitude (Winter Wine Festival)
São Joaquim, Brazil
In the high-altitude vineyards of São Joaquim, Santa Catarina (at 1,400m elevation), this winter festival celebrates Brazil's most exciting new wine frontier. Altitude wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc grown in volcanic soils rival traditional regions. The crisp mountain air, occasional frost, and dramatic highland scenery create a unique tasting experience quite unlike the tropical Brazil most visitors expect.
