Casa Bianchi: tasting by appointment

Visits to Casa Bianchi with tastings take place by prior appointment. Include the arrangement in your plans rather than assuming you can visit without notice. Coordinate the visit in advance and confirm the arrangements before travelling. If the tasting is an important reason for choosing Lajeado Grande, clarify this first and plan the rest of your stay accordingly. This makes the offering a specific, scheduled reason for your visit.

Medicinal herb garden and tradition

The medicinal herb garden was established by women from the community, is laid out in the shape of a mandala, and preserves a thousand-year-old tradition of medicinal plants. These features bring together design, community creation, and inherited plant knowledge: the mandala shape defines the garden’s form, and its tradition gives the medicinal herb theme a cultural context. For travelers interested in culture and plants, the garden therefore offers several perspectives on the same focus—its form, its community origins, and its long tradition. Casa Dona Ignes Siviero is also one of Lajeado Grande’s tourist attractions.

Fishing and swimming at Rio Golfo

Fishing and swimming are possible at Rio Golfo; the river also offers direct contact with nature. Here, activities on the water take center stage, while the medicinal herb garden is defined by its design and tradition. Fishing and swimming are two different options on the same river, with contact with nature as their common thread. If you plan either activity, check the access conditions at Rio Golfo before your visit. This is especially helpful if fishing or swimming is a decisive factor in your travel plans.

Choosing a focus for your stay

When looking for a hotel in Lajeado Grande, you can take the different planning considerations into account: a prior appointment is required for a visit to Casa Bianchi, it is advisable to check the access conditions for Rio Golfo, and the medicinal herb garden offers a cultural focus. This lets you link your choice of accommodation to the experience you want to prioritize.
