We are delighted to invite you to our wedding reception at a traditional farm of Southern Brazil that embodies the typical landscape of the pampas "plains" region. The farm is active and abundant with horses and other animals.
Reception
4:45 pm
The reception will be hosted by gaúchos, the traditional cowboys of Southern Brazil, who are integral to the local culture. Gaúchos are skilled horsemen who flourished in the area in the mid-18th century with the culture still strong. They are known for their distinctive attire and food, reflecting their cattle ranching lifestyle. Dining will highlight the gaúchos culinary traditions. There will be a farm-fresh grazing table including vegan and non-vegan options. The main course will be the churrasco BBQ, a cooking style where gaúcho chefs grill various cuts of meat and vegetables over an open flame. This event is not just a celebration of our union but also an immersion into the cultural and culinary practices of Southern Brazil.
