Brazilian BBQ Guided Dinner in Rio with Wine Pairing

4.8
(33 reviews)
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 2 more

Led by a local food expert, you’ll experience the flavors and traditions that turn a Brazilian BBQ into a true social celebration.

Unlike a touristy steakhouse, this guided dinner takes place in a classic churrascaria where locals actually gather, full of laughter, aroma, and rhythm.

You’ll learn about the cuts, the wines, and the stories behind the grill, all while sharing the table with fellow travelers who arrive as strangers and leave as friends.

It’s not just about what you eat, but what you take home: a deeper understanding of Brazil’s culture — and memories that will flavor your meals forever.

We offer two dining options: Churrascaria Palace, a 5-star Brazilian steakhouse with a wide variety of beef, pork, chicken, seafood, sushi, and even fish typical of the Amazon.

The other experience is at Churrascaria Carretão, a 4-star Brazilian steakhouse focused on beef, pork, and chicken.

Both experiences include one bottle of wine per person.

What to expect

Step into Rio’s culinary scene and uncover how Brazilians turn dinner into celebration.

In this guided BBQ experience, your local food expert leads you through a curated feast inside one of the city’s most beloved churrascarias — a place where flavor, culture, and storytelling come together.

Start the evening with a welcome caipirinha and tropical fruit juices, paired with local appetizers that set the tone for the night.

Then, watch the grill come alive with sizzling cuts like picanha, cupim, and alcatra — each served with rustic sides, fresh salads, and homemade farofa.

Between courses, enjoy a selection of South American wines carefully paired to enhance each bite, while learning the stories behind Brazil’s iconic churrasco tradition.

End the night with a taste of Brazil’s sweet side — desserts, liqueurs, and the warmth of new friendships around the table.

You’ll leave with a full heart, wine-pairing tips, and the kind of memories that make every meal back home feel a little more Brazilian.

Small groups only (max 12 guests).
If your experience isn’t five stars, you don’t pay for a four-star one.
