Farroupilha

Farroupilha extends across 359 square kilometers in the Serra Gaúcha region, situated between the cities of Bento Gonçalves and Caxias do Sul.

Three families from Milan - Stefano Crippa, Tomazo Radaelli, and Luigi Sperafico - established the first settlement in 1875, marking the beginning of Italian immigration.

The National Kiwifruit Festival, Fenakiwi, brings together local producers and visitors to celebrate agricultural achievements and regional traditions of Serra Gaúcha.

The municipality maintains connections with international partners through formal agreements with Cadaval in Portugal and Latina in Italy for economic and cultural exchanges.

The area sits at 680 meters above sea level with temperatures ranging from 7.3°C in July to 27.3°C in January, creating conditions for wine production.
