The Experience

Casa Seganfredo sits 8km from Gramado's center in a mountainous area, producing sparkling wines, fine reds, and integral grape juice since 2013. The tour unfolds as a conversation rather than a lecture. You move through the production process step by step—how grapes enter the canteen, what happens during fermentation, and the specific technique the winery uses: the Champenois method, the same French rules that govern Champagne itself. The cellar comes last, where you learn how wines age and evolve in storage.

After the tour, the tasting begins. A sommelier serves the wines in sequence, respecting your palate so each sip builds on the last. You'll learn pairing tips and proper service technique while tasting three types of cheese alongside the wines. The whole experience—production walk-through, cellar, and tasting—takes between one and one and a half hours.

You can request an English, French, or Portuguese-speaking guide when you book. The winery is wheelchair accessible and welcomes service animals. Masks are required, and the facility meets COVID-19 sanitary standards.
