Paraty Cachaça Distilleries
Alambiques de Paraty
Paraty is a famous cachaça region in Brazil, with many traditional distilleries where you can tour the process and taste for free.
Since the colonial era, Paraty has been known for cachaça, a sugarcane spirit, and the name became almost synonymous with it. The region holds a geographical indication for the spirit. Along the Paraty–Cunha road are many family distilleries, such as Engenho D'Ouro near Penha, where you can see sugarcane pressing, fermentation, copper-pot distillation and barrel aging, and taste many flavors for free. Visitors are encouraged to try 'Gabriela,' a local cachaça flavored with cinnamon and clove. These visits are often combined with waterfall trips, and if you are self-driving, do not drink and drive.
