Veranópolis is a municipality in the Serra Gaúcha region of Rio Grande do Sul, located in the southern mountains of the state. The landscape consists of hills and valleys where farming and wine production form the primary land use.
The settlement was founded in 1890 and was originally called Cerro da Alegria before later being renamed. Italian immigrants shaped economic development by establishing wine cultivation and related agricultural activities.
