Don Giovanni

Rio Grande do Sul


Both a winery and a homey pousada, Don Giovanni is a one-stop shop in Pinto Bandeira. It's most famous for sparkling wines (the tasting fee works as a credit toward purchases).

The restaurant opens for groups of 12 or more during the week, but operates regularly by reservation on Saturday evenings. It serves set menus paired with wines in chicken, beef or lamb versions (R$130 to R$200).
