ALAMBIQUE DE SANTA LUZIA
Read moreThere are several stills in the region to choose from for tasting good local cachaças. We recommend the Santa Luzia still in Rio das Flores. You can see how cachaça is made from sugar cane, how the still works and how the alcohol matures, in its infinite variations. In moderation, travellers with a passion for stills and traditional production can also visit the beautiful Vieira & Castro still factory, on the road to the Uniao fazenda.
