Visit Us
Entry to the Engenho Sanhaçu grounds is free for everyone.
For those who want to dive deeper into how the distillery works, there are two paid guided options: the rural tour, for general visitors, and the educational tour, exclusive to schools and universities.
For tourists
Rural Tour
Sanhaçu is part of Pernambuco's Rural Tourism Route and sits in Chã Grande, in the state's highlands, about 15 km from Gravatá and 85 km from Recife.
The guided tour is a technical and educational walk lasting roughly 1 hour, presenting the stages of Sanhaçu's production in a clear and accessible way. Visitors see the production areas, the aging cellar and the property's environmental practices. At the still, there's also an introduction to cachaça tasting.
An experience that brings together knowledge, sustainability and cachaça culture.
For schools and universities
Educational Tour
Engenho Sanhaçu welcomes groups from schools and universities, from elementary level to graduate programs. Students of Business, Food Engineering, Environmental Management, Gastronomy, Tourism, Occupational Safety and other fields get to see classroom content in practice.
The educational tour is customized to the age group, the subject and the objectives set by the teacher and the students, and may cover production processes, entrepreneurship, logistics, management, sustainability and environmental education.
Lasting roughly 1h20, the visit walks through every facility — cachaça, rapadura and sugarcane molasses — for a hands-on, integrated experience.
Tastings take place only with the teacher's authorization, even when students are over 18. The tour also includes a regional snack with fresh sugarcane juice and local treats.
Educational visits must be booked in advance.
Full immersion
Sanhaçu VIP Tour
If you want the full Sanhaçu experience, this is it.
The VIP Tour is a guided immersion of about 2 hours that combines knowledge, tasting and hands-on practice — light, engaging and unforgettable.
You take part in a guided, food-paired tasting with special labels like the award-winning Soleira, and sample two cachaças straight from the cask — a rare chance to meet the spirit at its purest.
And there's more: you learn how to make your own caipirinha in an exclusive workshop — and enjoy every sip afterwards.
- Guided tasting with food pairing
- Sampling straight from the cask
- Caipirinha workshop
- Complete, hosted experience
For groups of 4 to 15 people.
An experience designed for those who don't just want to visit — they want to truly live the cachaça.
