Preparations for the Grape Festival in Jundiaí have already begun, bringing back the celebration that pays homage to the Niagara Rosada variety! With free admission the 41st edition of the event starts on January 15th and runs for four weekends in a row.
The festival takes place in Comendador Antônio Carbonari Park on January 15, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30 and 31, as well as February 1, 6, 7 and 8. It’s the ideal itinerary for couples and families looking for fun and good food just a few kilometers from the capital of São Paulo.
In addition, the 12th Expo Vinhos takes place simultaneously and at the same address as the Jundiaí Grape Festival. So you can enjoy two events in one place.

The festival began in 1934 to celebrate the harvest of the Niagara Rosada grape, which was grown in the municipality and became a local heritage. Since then, the Grape Festival has become one of the largest in Brazil, bringing together gastronomy, local wines and tributes to the Italian immigrants who brought viticulture to the region.
In 2026, the program offers attractions for the whole family. The highlight is the “Grape stomping”, in which visitors can stomp on the fruit to the sound of typical music, reviving the tradition of the settlers. In addition, it will be possible to taste Niagara Rosada, as well as artisan wines and juices.
The 41st Jundiaí Grape Festival also features a craft fair, a Niagara grape competition and a gastronomic space with workshops and tastings of dishes made with the fruit or wine. Another novelty this year is the Geek Space, with interactive experiences that relate the tradition of grapes to games and technology.
How to get there
The opening ceremony of the 41st Jundiaí Grape Festival will take place on Thursday 15th, starting at 6pm. From then on, the timetables will follow this pattern:
- Fridays: from 6pm to 10pm;
- Saturdays and Sundays: from 10am to 10pm.
Comendador Antônio Carbonari Park (Parque da Uva) is about 57 kilometers from the center of São Paulo. There are two official parking lots available for those going by car, but remember: if you’re going to drink, don’t drive!
In this case, you can get there by public transport. Just take Line 7 – Rubi to Jundiaí Station, which is 3 kilometers from the park, and then complete the journey by cab or car app. If you prefer to take the bus, check the instructions for each line on the Grape Festival website.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the celebration has a children’s area and a sensory area for people with ASD, as well as being pet-friendly.
