The VinhedoWinter Festival is back in 2026, with a full lineup that brings together music, art, culture, and cuisine. Located just 75 kilometers from São Paulo, this picturesque town welcomes visitors with free live concerts —perfect for enjoying the cold season in the countryside.
Furthermore, as its name suggests, Vinhedo has a strong winemaking tradition. That’s why the winter festival is also a chance to sample wines from the interior of São Paulo, which will make your visit even more delightful and cozy.

Things to Do in Vinhedo, the “Grape Capital”
With a population of 80,000, Vinhedo is known nationwide for being home to Hopi Hari, one of the largest amusement parks in Latin America. Another major attraction is Wet’n Wild, a water park located on the border between Vinhedo and Itupeva.
Wine enthusiasts can visit the region’s wineries. One example is the Ferragut Family, the largest in the region, which is home to approximately 5,000 grapevines! During the tours, you can visit the vineyards and taste local wines, often paired with snacks and appetizers.
