Ricardo Lohmann is a superb tour guide. He is knowledgeable, engaging and warm with a great sense of humor. We enjoyed our tour of wineries in the Vale dos Vinhedos so much we hired him to guide us on the Caminhos de Pedra, the path and story of Italian immigrants in Rio Grande de Sul. We were eager to taste the renowned sparkling wines from the area, which we did to our delight at Casa Valduga. Ricardo also took us to Peculiare where we tasted varietals originally from the country of Georgia, a unique experience for us. We come from wine country - Washington State, USA, and have toured many wineries there. We were delighted with the beauty of Serra Gaucha and the delicious wines and food we enjoyed there. We, unfortunately, do not speak Portuguese. Ricardo’s English is very conversant; we always understood him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. We highly recommend him.
