ExpoVinis Brasil — a 3-day weekend in Brazil

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in São Paulo

   Land at São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

2. Day 2

   ExpoVinis Brasil

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Skip the main hall crowds and head straight to the smaller distributor booths where emerging producers from Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul showcase experimental lots before official release. Attend the sommelier tastings on day two when trade professionals thin out and you'll get better access to winemakers.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Brazil

   Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
