Carlos Barbosa, Wine region town in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Carlos Barbosa is a town set in the rolling hills of Rio Grande do Sul, located at about 545 meters elevation surrounded by vineyards. The municipality spans hilly terrain with grapevines and green valleys running through the center and surrounding settlements.
The town was named after Carlos Barbosa Gonçalves, who served as governor of Rio Grande do Sul in the early 1900s. Its founding connects to the expansion of wine farming in this southern mountain region during that same period.
Wine production shapes how people here organize their daily lives and celebrate together throughout the year. You'll notice this passion in conversations at local gatherings and in the way vineyards define the landscape around town.
The town connects to nearby Bento Gonçalves through the steam train Maria Fumaça, which carries visitors through the wine route. This train journey allows you to explore the vineyards and surrounding villages in a relaxed way.
The town is home to Tramontina, a global maker of metal tools and kitchen products that operates major manufacturing facilities here. This factory is a significant employer and shapes the economic character of the place.
