One table. 12 people. Good wines, gastronomy and new connections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On September 10, 2026<\/strong>, Copacabana will host Entre Ta\u00e7as<\/strong>, a wine-tasting experience in Rio de Janeiro created by Carioca Spot in partnership with Monica Tinoco Sommeli\u00e8re<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But it is worth pointing out that the idea is not to turn the evening into a formal wine class.<\/p>\n

The proposal is different.<\/p>\n

Everyone sits at the same table, samples different wine styles, learns in a relaxed way, enjoys good food and has a real opportunity to talk to new people.<\/p>\n

And there is one important detail: you can come alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event will take place at Quintal do Peixoto, in Copacabana, costs R$ 185 per person<\/strong> and will have only 12 participants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Is it worth it?<\/h2>\n

Yes\u2014especially if you enjoy wine and gastronomic experiences and want to meet new people in a small, welcoming setting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You do not need to know about wine, and you do not need to arrive with someone.<\/p>\n

It may not be for you if<\/strong> you are looking for a large party, nightclub or highly technical and formal tasting.<\/p>\n

The distinguishing feature is precisely the format: a single table for just 12 people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is Entre Ta\u00e7as?<\/h2>\n

The Entre Ta\u00e7as<\/strong> grew out of a simple idea: using wine as a starting point for an experience that also brings people closer together.<\/p>\n

During the gathering, Monica Tinoco Sommeli\u00e8re will lead the tasting, explaining in an accessible way how to notice differences between wines and identify the characteristics of lighter, medium-bodied and full-bodied styles.<\/p>\n

You do not need to know how to talk about tannins, terroir, acidity or any other technical term before you arrive.<\/p>\n

In fact, that is one of the main goals of the experience.<\/p>\n

You taste.<\/p>\n

Compare.<\/p>\n

Ask questions.<\/p>\n

Discover.<\/p>\n

And learn while talking to the people sitting at the table.<\/p>\n

The idea fits well with a trend already seen at other wine events in the city: turning a tasting into a broader experience that combines gastronomy, socializing and entertainment.<\/p>\n

But there is an important difference here.<\/p>\n

Instead of hundreds of people moving between stands, there will be only 12 participants seated together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A wine tasting for people who do not know about wine<\/h2>\n

You may have found this article because you enjoy wine but have never taken part in a tasting.<\/p>\n

Great.<\/p>\n

The event was also designed for this audience.<\/p>\n

You do not need to know how to identify grape varieties by their aromas or memorize wine-producing regions.<\/p>\n

During the experience, the guidance will be straightforward and focused on noticing the differences between the wines in practice.<\/p>\n

This means that both beginners and people who already enjoy the world of wine can make the most of the gathering.<\/p>\n

To continue exploring wine-tourism experiences afterward, also see our visit to Vin\u00edcola Inconfid\u00eancia<\/a> and discover Borgo del Vino<\/a>, two wine-related experiences already published by Viagens e Lugares.<\/p>\n

The biggest advantage: you can come alone<\/h2>\n

Now we come to the part that, in our view, truly sets Entre Ta\u00e7as apart.<\/p>\n

You can arrive without knowing anyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, that is part of the idea.<\/p>\n

Carioca Spot was created to help people discover events and experiences around Rio. Over time, it became clear that there was another challenge: many people find interesting things to do but decide not to go because they have no one to go with.<\/p>\n

Entre Ta\u00e7as tries to turn that logic around.<\/p>\n

You do not need to find someone to be able to take part.<\/p>\n

The experience has been designed to make it easier for everyone there to start conversations.<\/p>\n

There is one table.<\/p>\n

The group is small.<\/p>\n

And everyone begins the evening sharing at least one interest: tasting wine and experiencing something different.<\/p>\n

The idea is for conversations to happen naturally throughout the tasting.<\/p>\n

Maybe you will leave having only tried new wines.<\/p>\n

Maybe you will make new friends.<\/p>\n

Maybe you will find company for other outings in Rio.<\/p>\n

The important thing is that you do not need to arrive knowing anyone to feel part of the experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is included in Entre Ta\u00e7as?<\/h2>\n

The ticket includes a tasting led by Monica Tinoco Sommeli\u00e8re, selected wines, food pairings, water, mate, coffee and a personalized wine glass.<\/p>\n

The food experience announced for the event includes tapioca cubes, mixed vinaigrette and beef-rib rice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Everything takes place during an experience lasting approximately an hour and a half.<\/p>\n

And since there will be only 12 participants, the idea is for everyone to have room to taste, ask questions and join the conversation.<\/p>\n

Gastronomy and wine at the same table<\/h2>\n

A tasting can change completely when wine is no longer sampled on its own and is instead paired with food.<\/p>\n

That is where the gastronomic aspect of Entre Ta\u00e7as comes in.<\/p>\n

The wines will be served with dishes selected for the experience.<\/p>\n

This also creates an opportunity to understand something many people discover only when they begin exploring the world of wine: food can completely transform how we perceive a drink\u2014and wine can also change the way we perceive a particular dish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event takes place at Quintal do Peixoto<\/strong>, a restaurant we already know and that also has a complete guide here on the blog.<\/p>\n

Before the gathering, you can learn more about the venue in our article on Quintal do Peixoto in Copacabana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where is the wine tasting held?<\/h2>\n

Entre Ta\u00e7as takes place at:<\/p>\n

Quintal do Peixoto<\/strong>
Rua Anita Garibaldi, 60F
Copacabana \u2014 Rio de Janeiro<\/p>\n

Copacabana needs no introduction, but it should not be reduced to just its beach.<\/p>\n

If you are visiting Rio from elsewhere, also take a look at our complete guide to Copacabana Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to get to Entre Ta\u00e7as in Copacabana<\/h2>\n

Since the event begins at 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday<\/strong>, we recommend setting out with some extra time.<\/p>\n

Copacabana is served by the Cardeal Arcoverde, Siqueira Campos and Cantagalo stations on Metro Line 1.<\/p>\n

If you are not familiar with the city\u2019s transport system, see our guide on how to use public transportation safely in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another option is to use a rideshare car.<\/p>\n

We also have a complete guide explaining whether it is worth using Uber in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since alcoholic beverages will be served, we do not recommend driving after the event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How much does Entre Ta\u00e7as cost?<\/h2>\n

The ticket costs R$ 185 per person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the event\u2019s official page, the platform fees will be covered by the organizers.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the experience includes not only access to the gathering but also a guided tasting, wines, food, non-alcoholic beverages and a personalized wine glass.<\/p>\n

The number of places also affects the format: there are only 12 places available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can check availability and purchase your ticket directly on the official Entre Ta\u00e7as page on Sympla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why only 12 people?<\/h2>\n

Because Entre Ta\u00e7as was not designed as a festival.<\/p>\n

Nor as a fair.<\/p>\n

Nor as a large wine party.<\/p>\n

The experience depends precisely on the opposite.<\/p>\n

With only 12 participants, everyone can stay at the same table, follow the tasting, talk and take part.<\/p>\n

In an experience created to foster new connections, putting 50 or 100 people in the same space would completely change the idea.<\/p>\n

Here, the limited number is not merely an exclusivity strategy.<\/p>\n

It is part of the product.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is Entre Ta\u00e7as an event for singles?<\/h2>\n

Not necessarily.<\/p>\n

This is not speed dating, nor is it an event exclusively for singles.<\/p>\n

The idea is much broader: bringing people together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can take part as a single person, in a relationship, married or simply because you enjoy wine and want to experience something different.<\/p>\n

The point is that anyone coming alone does not need to worry about \u201chaving no one to go with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can I come with someone?<\/h2>\n

Of course.<\/p>\n

The concept of new connections does not mean that you have to arrive alone.<\/p>\n

Couples, friends or two people who want to taste wines together can also take part, as long as tickets are still available.<\/p>\n

The difference is that the experience will not be arranged around small, separate tables.<\/p>\n

The idea is to share one communal table<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Where to stay near Entre Ta\u00e7as?<\/h2>\n

For visitors to Rio who want to attend the event, Copacabana is one of the areas in the city with the widest range of accommodation.<\/p>\n

First, see our guide to where to stay in Rio de Janeiro<\/a> to compare Copacabana with Ipanema, Leblon, Botafogo and other neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

If you would like to stay in the area, we also have nearby accommodation and dining experiences, such as Novotel Leme<\/a> and Vizta Rooftop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What to do in Copacabana before the event?<\/h2>\n

Since Entre Ta\u00e7as begins at 7:30 p.m., you can easily make the experience part of a full day in Zona Sul.<\/p>\n

If you are traveling, you can spend the afternoon at the beach, walk along the waterfront or explore other places in the area before heading to Quintal do Peixoto.<\/p>\n

To plan your day better, use our guide to what to do in Rio de Janeiro<\/a> and also check out the best restaurants in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When should you go?<\/h2>\n

Entre Ta\u00e7as takes place only on September 10, 2026, a Thursday, at 7:30 p.m.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is not a permanent attraction.<\/p>\n

Also, since there are only 12 places, we do not recommend leaving the decision until the day of the event.<\/p>\n

If you already know you want to take part, it makes more sense to secure your place in advance.<\/p>\n

Is Entre Ta\u00e7as worth it?<\/h2>\n

If your idea of a good evening involves discovering new flavors, having a conversation without shouting and taking part in something with just a few people, yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The price also needs to be considered in light of the full experience: a guided tasting, wines, food, beverages, a personalized wine glass and an activity limited to just 12 participants.<\/p>\n

But we believe the real distinguishing feature lies elsewhere.<\/p>\n

You are not simply paying to drink a few glasses of wine.<\/p>\n

You are taking part in an experience designed to make interaction easier.<\/p>\n

And that is much harder to find at larger events.<\/p>\n

Common mistakes before attending<\/h2>\n

The first is assuming that you need to know about wine. You do not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second is deciding not to buy a ticket because you have not found anyone to go with. One of the event\u2019s main ideas is precisely to allow you to arrive alone.<\/p>\n

Another mistake would be driving and then needing to drive after drinking wine. Choose the metro, a taxi or a rideshare instead.<\/p>\n

Finally, do not wait until the last minute to look for tickets: there are only 12 places<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Safety for those attending alone<\/h2>\n

Since the event is specifically intended to welcome people who may arrive without company, it is worth taking the same precautions you would on any night out in a large city.<\/p>\n

Plan in advance how you will get back, use official transportation whenever possible and avoid walking long distances alone late at night if you do not know the area.<\/p>\n

We have gathered more detailed advice in our guide to safety in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n
