Miolo draws on over a century of tradition in wine production dating to the 1897 arrival in Brazil of founder Guiseppe Miolo. The Milio Winery is also a pioneer of what's now being correctly labeled "Wine Tourism." Here one may visit Miolo's surrounding vineyards, the winery itself with its sweet scented aging cellars, and finish touring by tasting a wide range of wines in the friendly canteen. On request winetasting courses are also offered. The region's newest major hotel, the Villa Europa, will open in 2005 at the top of the hill across from the Miolo complex.
