Abstract

The São Francisco Valley, in the northeastern semi-arid region of Brazil, has attracted national and international wineries due to investments in research and technology, resulting in unusual growth in cities in the northeastern backlands. With 300 days of sunshine per year, it has developed irrigated agriculture, with grapes as the main product, allowing for up to two and a half harvests per year. The government and entrepreneurs are preparing for tourism, focusing on wine production. A study is analyzing the actions of social actors in wine tourism, using a qualitative and bibliographic approach, as well as visits to municipalities and wineries. Wine tourism is seen as a strategy to develop destinations and integrate micro-regions, promoting combined attractions and integration between rural areas and society in general. The results will provide theoretical and practical considerations for viticulture and tourism.
