Rio de Janeiro – Wine Tasting of Brazilian Wines
1.Wine Tasting of Brazilian Wines
At Cave Nacional in Botafogo, a sommelier introduces Brazilian winemaking over a glass of local sparkling wine, then pours three selected wines with three bruschettas. The one-hour tasting draws on a cellar of more than 200 Brazilian labels. Sommelier Karina has been praised for making the subject lively, though your guide may vary.
“We were given a nice overview of the different regions and their wine making process, while we enjoyed a welcome drink (a glass of a local sparkling wine). After that we were able to walk into their cellar and have a look around all the good stuff. Finally, we were walked back to our tables where we could enjoy three glasses of different Brazilian wines. We would definitely recommend this activity to any wine lover looking for a taste of what Brazil has to offer”
