São Roque

Located in the rural area of São Roque, "Roteiro do Vinho" is a tourist route that passes through 10 traditional wineries, most founded by Italian and Portuguese immigrants and located at Estrada do Vinho (Rod. Raposo Tavares km 58.5), about 2.5 km of the São Roque City Center. Besides wineries, it also contains accommodations, restaurants, shops and family-oriented activities. Check the website for maps and opening times of each attraction.

As weird as it may seem, it is a ski park containing a ski track made of plastic. Contains also a smaller track intended for beginners, as well as other activities such as cable car, paintball, bow and arrow, tree climbing, etc. If these do not appeal you, it is still worth a visit on a clear day, as the cable car offers a fabulous view of the city of São Roque and the surrounding region. After all, entrance is free - you pay per individual attraction, although a R$ 68 daily pass is available and parking costs R$ 15. On Fridays, there is a rodízio (all-you-can-eat) dinner including pasta and pizza.

This 2-day weekend festival attracts large crowds to celebrate the local Japanese immigrant culture with a wide variety of Japanese food, cultural exhibits and performances, and 400 cherry blossom trees in bloom.
