My name is Marcos and like you I am passionate about traveling to new places and meeting people! I have been to more than 40 countries. I used to work as a professional photographer and as a sales representative, which allowed me to get to know Brazil and South America very well. So, I decided to unite my interests: tourism, travel, culture, wines and gastronomy. That's the reason why I became a Tour Guide. Working as a Guide allowed me to share with people what really makes me have fun and appreciate in life. I always present tours based on my own experiences. So, you will enjoy what I really like to do, not just an ordinary tour. Besides that, I'm a very adventurous and sports guy. I am an amateur cyclist and longtime motorcyclist. I have traveled by bike and motorcycle to various parts of the State and Brazil. My favorite destination for cycling is the canyons region in Rio Grande do Sul and for motorcycle riding is Patagonia in southern Argentina. But what I love the most is to show visitors the history of Rio Grande do Sul where I live, and everything related to the people who lives here, mostly descendants of European immigrants from Germany and Italy. Hence my interest in gastronomy and wine culture. Oh! If you are a fan of this beverage you will have in me an enthusiastic and dedicated connoisseur of the subject because I know like the back of my hand the wine producing regions and especially the people who work to make this noble and delicious drink a worldwide success. So, I invite you to share with me these passions, whether you have just one or several days, your experience in the South will be the most surprising and delicious you can imagine. A world of aromas and flavors that will forever mark your memory! And keep in mind that we will be able to customize the experience, focusing on items that are most interesting to you. Suggestions and ideas are always welcome! Hope to meet you soon!

I am a descendant of Italian immigrants who came to Brazil from Europe in the mid-19th century with the aim of populating Rio Grande do Sul. I am very proud of my heritage. The immigrants did settle at Flores da Cunha, Bento Gonçalves, Nova Pádua, and surroundings. They brought with them to the new world their culture and traditions, such as gastronomy and the cultivation of grapes to produce wines. That's exactly what made me fall in love with the wine region in the "Serra Gaúcha". There I meet great people who are also proud of their history and make a point of showing it through food and wine. I have been to the region so many times that I decided to learn more about it. Today I am a Certified Specialist in Regional Cultural Attractions and I took a FISAR Sommelier course to understand and appreciate more of the beverage I love so much. An Italian visitor once said to me: "Italian food in Brazil is better than in Italy! Capisci?" Maybe you can also help me confirm this. . .
I don't have a tight schedule, because exploration is about discovering new things and new places, and sometimes, when you discover something interesting, you want to stay longer in this place. Anyway, the "a priori" suggestion could be: • Trip from Porto Alegre to Flores da Cunha • Visit to small and large wineries • Visit to Nova Pádua, know as "il picollo paradiso italiano" (little italian paradise) in Brazil • Picnic at an amazing view location • Car ride to Bento Gonçalves thru "Caminhos de Pedra" scenic road • Dinner with the best pizza in the state • Tour at the valley of the vineyards in Bento Gonçalves • Wine tasting experiences • Return by scenic roads The tour itinerary can be customized upon your preferences.
