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.
