Vinícola Aurora
Cooperativa Vinícola Aurora
Brazil's largest wine cooperative in the city center, with free tours of giant barrels and underground cellars followed by tastings.
Aurora was founded in 1931 and is made up of more than a thousand grape-growing families. It is Brazil's largest wine producer. The winery is right in the city center and within walking distance. The tour takes about 1 hour, visiting the fermentation tanks, rows of large wooden barrels and the underground cellar, and ends with tastings of several wines and grape juice. The basic tour is usually free and runs at set times; on public holidays, expect queues. The large on-site wine shop has affordable prices, making it a good half-day stop for visitors without a car. It can be combined with the Pipa Pórtico.
