Overview

Mobile ticket
A tour to discover the legacy of Italian immigrants in a beautiful journey full of history in Maria Fumaça and in the Epopeia Italiana Cultural Park, an audiovisual show with stagings that portray the difficulties and obstacles that immigrants encountered in Brazil at the end of the 19th century.
In addition to history, the visitor will get to know the flavors and aromas of wines from a winery on the Rota dos Espumantes that has been operating for over eight decades and has been the protagonist of a story in which tradition and avant-garde blend in perfect harmony with most awarded wines and sparkling wines in Brazil.
To complete the tour, there is a visit to an artisanal truffle shop, which stands out for the manual production of truffles that guarantees an irregular shape, which hides inside a surprising and irresistible creamy filling. All visitation fees are included in the tour price.

1.00Once in 2018 when I took the tour, everything was wonderful. I did it again in 2025 and it's not even a shadow of what it was. Once there were at least 2 or 3 stops... we tasted a lot of wine, there was no sale of products inside the trains. Just entertainment that also diminished horrors....for the price you pay and the train making only one stop for tasting was absurd....
Incredible tour

5.00Experience of a whole day, pick you up in the hotel early, take you to Bento Gonçalves where the train departs. The view from the train is not the most beautiful for you already have the habit of doing this type of trip. e.g. Curtiba x Morretes, Tiradentes . But the entertainment aboard is wonderful, many singers and clear wine tasting.
Are we going to Maria Fumaça?

5.00The tour is very fun, we did by Giordani tourism. During the journey there are performances in the train wagon, (regional music with sanfona, theater of a couple of Italians, well funny; wine tasting and sparkling). My tip is to make the shortest ride, as it becomes tired, because the train goes very slowly. We took the train in Bento Gonçalves, went to Garibaldi, then we returned to Bento with the bus from Giordani and there we watched the Italian Epopeia. For those who have never made the walk, I find it interesting to know, it is quite cool. A different experience, where we refer to the past.
Unforgettable tour

5.00I purchased the ticket as part of a tour to Bento Gonçalves, which included several visits, including the Maria Fumaça Tour. I paid R$ 350.00 for the complete package, with the possibility of payment by card. I do not know the individual value of Maria Fumaça's ticket, but it is probably much smaller than that total. Specifically about Maria Fumaça, nothing to complain about. It is a wonderful tour: the steam train is extremely comfortable, with a cheerful Mood, musical and theatrical presentations during the journey, wine and sparkling tasting, a stop for photos and beautiful landscapes that can be recorded from the window. Even me, who am not a fan of wine or sparkling, found the walk very good and very pleasant. The experience is very worth it. It refers to the colonial era and the Industrial Revolution, conveying a unique, cozy and pleasant atmosphere. Summary: Value of the package: R$ 350,00 (includes other attractions besides Maria Fumaça). Comfortable and well-careful steam train. Shows and tasting during the course. Parade for pictures and lovely views. Remarkable cultural and historical experience. Likes even those who do not like wine or sparkling. I recommend!
To do every time you go to the region!

5.00I went for the second time. And I believe that whenever I come back, I'll take that walk. We go back to the past in the wagons, try good wines and grape juices, learn a little more about the importance and culture of Italian immigrants and get stunned by the landscapes.
Bad walk

1.00Great ride! Bad return!!!!! Wrong information about the buses. Distribution with undefined criteria, without observing the preferences provided by law. Disrespect to the consumer. Poorly educated and disguised attendants.

5.00I had the privilege of experiencing an experience guided by Jean Gabriel, and could not help but record how admirable his work is. With a deep knowledge of the history of Italian immigration to Brazil, Jean goes beyond the facts: he transports us into the plot, making us not only listen, but feel every part of the immigrant trajectory. His way of driving the ride, both in the narrative and at the wheel is impeccable. Drive safely and peacefully, which allows us to relax and enjoy the journey even more. And, to complement, it is extremely friendly, affordable and attentive.
