Fantastic Combo - Visit on 12/29/2023 I was positively surprised. I bought the Maria Fumaça package and didn't know about this presentation. It was fantastic. It tells the story and suffering of Italian immigrants when they came to Brazil. The actors perform before the public. It's very worth it.

Fun in the Vale dos Vinhedos - The full day excursion was an unforgettable experience from the moment we set off in the wooded valleys around Gramado to Bente Goncalves. So much to see along the way. The Italian tableau of the settlement of the wine area was informative fun and interesting. The winery visit was also interesting and the setting of the visit in the Aurora cellars was informative. The optional Italian meal was an experience to be recommended well worth price for a chance to sample a plethora of Italian dishes. The ride on the train far exceeded the expectations of an heritage train journey packed with musical presentations in traditional costume, singing and dancing all inspired by the great Italian musical history. Wine tasting added not a little to the conviviality of the whole. Meeting many people who were equally enjoying the experience on offer added to the enjoyment. Brilliant!!!

Excellent for Brazil level - I found it moving to remember what our ancestors went through to bring us to where we are today. It is a tribute to this suffering generation that achieved everything with a lot of work and effort. I highly recommend the tour

Excellent experience - Very enjoyable ride. I went on an all-day excursion. I just found it tiring, because it passes through several places in one day. The train is very lively, with songs. The Park tells the story of Italian immigrants, very beautiful. Visiting the Tramontina factory and knitting has nothing to do with it, it could be a slightly shorter trip.

Tour - The tour was cool, there could have been more Italian shows! The service was very good, but the Epopeia Italiana was nicer.

Historical and gastronomic culture - The inconvenience of waking up very, very early in Gramado, traveling by van in a very tiring mountain range is rewarded later with a peaceful train ride, with lots of cultural attractions inside the carriages, with lots of music, joy and wine and little juice. Then, an insertion into the history of the Italian immigrants who arrived here. A mix of flavors and culture.

Median - A poor value for money trip, only valid for those with small children and who have never been on a train. Weak attractions and very poor wines offered

Frustrating expectations - I expected better attractions. Disappointed! There is a lot of propaganda about this tour and the Italian epic is not something as wonderful as it is propagated, despite having good scenes.
