Rio Grande do Sul
Gaucho culture, wine and churrasco
Rio Grande do Sul is Brazil's southernmost state, where the gaucho culture of cattle ranching, chimarrão (mate tea) and weekend churrasco defines daily life. The Serra Gaúcha highlands, colonized by Italian and German immigrants in the 19th century, produce Brazil's finest wines in towns like Bento Gonçalves and Garibaldi — and host the Brazilian Oktoberfest tradition in the mountain resort of Gramado.
