Free training course on wines from the São Francisco Valley is offered to professionals in the region

The action is exclusive to employees and business owners in the hospitality, restaurant or wine trade sectors based in Vale do Submédio São Francisco.

The training seeks to teach the sensorial and qualitative analysis of labels produced in the region, in addition to explaining the differences in local wine tourism to visitors and customers. The program content also addresses wine service, storage, pairing and how to organize a label list suited to the profile of each establishment.

The training will be divided into two groups, with classes on September 9th and 29th, from 1pm to 5pm. Classes will be taught by professors Mariana Almeida (IFSertãoPE) and Daynara Aparecida (Senac), and professor Euclides Neto, from the São Francisco Valley Wine Institute (Vinhovasf).

The initiative is part of the 'Tropical Wine Route - Wine Tourism Experiences in the São Francisco Valley' project. The action is promoted by IFSertãoPE in partnership with Vinhovasf and made possible by a notice aimed at strengthening Brazilian geographical indications. The activities count on the collaboration of professors, researchers and scholarship holders from the federal institute.

In addition to the course, the project has already made the English translation of the e-book "Vinhos do Vale do São Francisco" available for free download. For October 2026, the launch of the "Tropical Wine Route Passport" is also planned, a playful booklet created to encourage residents and tourists to explore the region's wine tourism spots and record their visits.
