Visitors to Vinopolis on Saturday May 22nd are in for a treat – Wines From Brazil is celebrating the launch of its permanent presence on the Vinopolis ‘Wine Trail’ with a tasting of Brazilian wines.

Nine producers from Brazil’s six wine regions are flying in to mark the occasion and will be serving a selection of red, white and sparkling wines.
