Bento Gonçalves — the capital of Brazilian wine country — celebrates the harvest with its annual Vindima festival. The Vale dos Vinhedos, Brazil's first Denominação de Origem, is the centrepiece, with open cellars at producers like Miolo, Casa Valduga, and Don Laurindo. Grape-stomping, vineyard lunches, and traditional Italian-gaucho cuisine make this an immersive harvest experience.
