Experiences: Gastronomy

Gastronomy

Gastronomy is our language of affection

Casa do Hóspede
At Casa do Hóspede, food is not just a necessity — it is a narrative. Every meal is an invitation to discover Minas Gerais — and, why not, Brazil — through its flavours: local ingredients, recipes that carry emotional memory, and cuisine inspired by the philosophy of Restaurante Aprazível, recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Served intimately in the garden or in spaces carefully prepared by the host, breakfast celebrates local flavours and the delicacy of small details. The table is set with local ceramic pieces, Aprazível filter coffee, fresh flowers from the garden, fruit picked from the tree, and a selection of Minas-style preparations made with affection.

An experience that engages all the senses: a cooking class with a local pizzaiolo in our stone-fired oven. A dance between the scent of firewood, the freshness of ingredients like ora-pro-nobis, the hand-crafted dough, and the warmth of Casa do Hóspede's courtyard.

Discover the flavours and traditions of Minas in an affective and sensory experience dedicated to artisanal sweet-making. In a welcoming setting, watch closely as recipes are prepared in authentic copper pots — a century-old technique that preserves texture, aroma, and a flavour that takes you back to childhood.

An exclusive pairing with Aprazível curation: artisan Minas cheeses from small producers across the state, northern Minas charcuterie made with cerrado pork, and Minas wines selected by our sommelier — sparkling, white, and red — from carefully chosen local terroirs.
