Urussanga Wine Festival 2026: 2-day itinerary and checklist before leaving

Those who plan to arrive in Urussanga between 5 and 9 August 2026 need to review their planning: the 22nd Wine Festival will not be held on those dates. The Municipal Government announced the transfer of the event on June 19, 2026, after months of publicity, ticket sales and confirmation of attractions.

The expectation informed by the organization is that the party will return in 2027, but, until this guide was updated on August 4, 2026, there was no new official date published. Therefore, do not travel expecting to find shows, ticket offices, food courts or special structures in the Municipal Park. The most important thing is not to trust only old pages found in the search. The box office page still displayed the original dates on the eve of the event's scheduled period, while the most recent municipal communication confirms the transfer. To decide on travel, accommodation or purchase of services, use the City Hall's latest announcement as a reference. What happened with the Urussanga Wine Festival 2026

The original program included the Wine Festival from Wednesday, August 5th, to Sunday, August 9th, at Ado Cassetari Vieira Municipal Park. In January, City Hall had announced ticket sales and six national presentations distributed over the first four days. The achievement was also officially announced at the Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina on May 27th. June, however, the Municipality and the Central Organizing Committee communicated the transfer. The administration attributed the decision to climate projections and the need to reinforce preparation for possible events related to rain, floods and landslides. The announcement also stated that the costs of tickets, passports and boxes would be refunded. Typically, this means that the old programming is no longer valid. There are no opening times, entry rules, special parking, official transportation to the event or national presentations to be confirmed for August 5th to 9th.

A party ticket refund does not automatically cancel a hotel, bus transportation, excursion or tour purchased from another company.

Contact each supplier separately and ask in writing:

1. cancellation rules;
2. the possibility of rescheduling without a fine;
3. the amount that will be retained, if any;
4. the deadline for refund;
5. confirmation of the service if you decide to continue the trip.

There is a particular case on August 8: operators announced the maintenance of railway tours related to the period, with adaptation of the itinerary after the transfer of the party. A current page presents a “winter itinerary” between Tubarão and Urussanga, while previous materials still mention entry to the event. Anyone who purchased this type of package must confirm which product they have, boarding location, times, food, return and accessibility directly with the operator. Is it worth traveling to Urussanga this weekend?

The answer depends on the reason for the trip, the cancellation conditions and, most importantly, the weather forecast.

Those who would go exclusively to the shows must cancel or reschedule. There is no equivalent program replacing the Wine Festival.

Those who already have non-refundable accommodation can evaluate a conventional tourist visit, but only after confirming that the attractions will be open and that travel conditions are safe.

In a bulletin prepared at 5am on 4 August, the Santa Catarina Civil Defense indicated instability between 5 and 8 August, with the possibility of storms, lightning, gusts of wind, intense rain, hail and occurrences such as occasional flooding and falling trees. An updated warning at 1:50 pm highlighted the South Coast among the areas subject to isolated thunderstorms between Wednesday and early Friday. must be taken again on the day of departure. If there are warnings, blocked roads or guidance to avoid travel, postpone the trip. Do not try to “take advantage of what has already been paid” by putting passengers or the vehicle at risk.

Alternative one-day itinerary in Urussanga

This script works as a set of modules. Don't assume everyone will be available, especially on a weekend without the party structure.

Morning: Historic Center and Anita Garibaldi Square

Start at Praça Anita Garibaldi, the nucleus of the historic urban complex. Around it are buildings linked to the formation of the city, in addition to the Monument to the Immigrant, located at the south end of the square. It is a predominantly outdoor stage and must be reduced or canceled in case of heavy rain, lightning or windstorms. Tourist Services is the best first point to confirm operation, accessibility and reservations. The municipal portal reports opening hours from 8am to 12pm and from 1pm to 5pm and lists the contact number (48) 3465-4337. Confirm in advance whether the service will be open on Saturday or Sunday. u Municipal History Monsenhor Agenor Neves Marques appears on the portal with regular service from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 11:30am and from 1pm to 5pm. Therefore, it should not be treated as a guaranteed weekend visit without express confirmation. guy: choose by confirmation, not by the old list

Without the Wine Festival gastronomic square, reserve a restaurant or confirm service before going. Ask about:

• kitchen hours;
• reservation required;
• options for children;
• vegetarian or alcohol-free alternatives;
• accessibility;
• parking;
• group policy.

Do not organize the day around an establishment found in an old publication without recent contact.

Afternoon: Municipal Park or scheduled rural experience

The Ado Cassetari Vieira Municipal Park continues to be a tourist attraction in the city, but it will not have the structure announced for the party. The complex brings together a green area, Praça D’Italia, library, amphitheater, skate park, cultural spaces and the Immigration Museum. Check which facilities will be accessible and avoid wooded areas during thunderstorms or strong gusts. alternative, choose a single winery with a confirmed reservation. Trying to fit multiple properties into the same period increases displacements and reduces the scope for changes caused by time.

Alternative two-day itinerary

Day 1: urban core

Use the first day to concentrate activities in the city:

1. Tourist Service Center;
2. Anita Garibaldi Square and historic houses;
3. Monument to the Immigrant;
4. lunch reserved in the Center;
5. Municipal Park, only if weather conditions permit;
6. dinner or early return.

The advantage of this design is that it allows cuts. If the rain increases, you can shorten the tour without getting stuck in a string of rural reserves.

Day 2: Vale da Uva Goethe by appointment

Reserve the second day for a country estate or winery. Regular schedules released by local organizations show that many weekend experiences depend on advance booking.

Among the properties mentioned are:

• Damian Winery, with service and special activities upon request;
• Vigna Mazon, on the São Pedro axis, with weekends and tastings upon reservation;
• Trevisol Winery, in the town of Rio Caeté, with weekend experiences scheduled;
• De Noni Winery, also on the São Pedro axis, with sales and tastings. use these names as confirmation of place.** Enter the date, number of visitors, presence of children, any mobility limitations and whether anyone in the group does not consume alcohol.

Textual displacement map

To avoid back and forth, organize the itinerary along three axes:

Don't estimate time just by straight-line distance. Confirm the route in the navigation app on the day of travel, check paving and ask the property about access conditions after rain.

Plan for non-drinkers

Urussanga doesn't have to be a trip centered around wine consumption. The itinerary may prioritize heritage, Italian immigration, gastronomy, rural landscape, colonial products and the history of the Goethe grape.

When reserving a winery, ask if there are:

• grape juice or other non-alcoholic drink;
• visit without tasting;
• lunch or coffee;
• covered space;
• activity suitable for children;
• different charges for those who do not participate in the tasting.

Even in groups where everyone drinks, decide before leaving who will be the driver. Another possibility is to hire transport in advance, without depending on the availability of cars via app in the rural area.

Budget in bands, without inventing prices

As rates for accommodation, food, transportation and experiences vary by availability, the safest budget is made up of components.

Before closing the bill, also add parking, tolls, drinks, any reservation fees and cancellation policies. Do not consider party tickets as automatic credit for another service.

Checklist before leaving

• Confirm that no one in the group is still hoping to find the Wine Festival.

• Check receipt of refund or open necessary request.
