Why BH Is Built for Harmonized Dinners at Home

World-Class Cheese Deserves a Proper Pairing

Queijo Canastra and Serro are heritage-level artisan cheeses aging within a few hours of your apartment. An aged Canastra against a structured white, or Serro with a light-bodied red, is a harmonization course most wine dinners in Brazil simply cannot source — in BH it is the obvious opener.

An Audience That Actually Tastes

Mineiros grew up on vovó's cooking and boteco counters where every bite gets judged. That trained palate is exactly what a guided pairing dinner rewards: your chef explains why each wine works, and your guests genuinely notice.

Better Than Any Restaurant Wine List

At a restaurant, you pair your dinner to a marked-up list. At home, the chef builds the menu and the wines together, bottle by bottle, for your table of two to ten — and whatever is left in the bottles stays with you.

How It Works

1

Download myChef

Find personal chefs in Belo Horizonte who specialize in harmonized, multi-course menus. Review their pairing philosophies and past dinners.

2

Set the Menu and the Wines

The chef proposes a 4-6 course menu with one wine per course. Approve it, adjust it, or ask the chef to build the whole dinner around bottles already in your cellar.

3

The Chef Cooks and Guides

Ingredients come from the Mercado Central and CEASA-MG that day. The chef cooks in your kitchen, then presents each course and its wine with short, unpretentious tasting notes.

4

Taste, Compare, Repeat

Course after course arrives at your table in Lourdes, Savassi or Belvedere. When the last glass is poured, the chef cleans the kitchen and leaves it spotless.

What to Expect

A Wine for Every Course

Typically 4-6 courses, each with a matched pour of 60-90 ml — enough to taste the pairing properly across the whole menu without overdoing it.

Mineira Flavors, Harmonized

An aged Canastra cheese course, torresmo with sparkling wine, an elevated feijão tropeiro with a young red, goiabada desserts with a fortified finish — BH's own repertoire, taken seriously.

Flexible Wine Sourcing

The chef can buy every bottle, blend purchased wines with your own, or design the food entirely around your existing cellar.

A Cachaça Twist, If You Want One

Swap the final pairing for an aged artisan cachaça from the Mercado Central alongside dessert — a very BH way to close the night.

Full Service and Cleanup

Glassware guidance, decanting, course-by-course service and a spotless kitchen afterward are all part of the evening.

Harmonization, the Mineiro Way

Belo Horizonte is widely called Brazil's unofficial food capital, with more botecos per capita than any city in the country and a market — the Mercado Central — where cachaça, artisan cheese and charcuterie share the aisles. What BH's food scene has lacked is a fine-dining wine culture to match its palate. A harmonized dinner at home fills exactly that space: hosts in Lourdes, Funcionários and Belvedere get a sommelier-level experience without leaving the apartment, at their own pace, with their own guests.

The pairings write themselves from local ingredients. Sparkling wine cutting through the crackle of torresmo. A UNESCO-heritage-level aged Canastra with a barrel-fermented white. Frango com quiabo reimagined as a plated course beside a Burgundian-style pinot. Doce de leite and goiabada desserts closing with a port-style fortified. It is the food mineiros already love, framed the way a great wine dinner frames anything — and it turns a Tuesday apartment dinner into the best table in the city.

Local Tip

Ask your chef to open the night with the torresmo-and-sparkling pairing — bubbles against crackling pork is the most mineiro-meets-sommelier moment there is. And if your group is curious, trade the dessert wine for an aged cachaça from the Mercado Central; most guests never forget it.

Frequently Asked Questions

With wines included, expect R$120 to R$350 per person for a 4-6 course menu. If the chef builds the dinner around bottles from your own cellar, the food-and-service price starts closer to R$80 per person.
Each course comes with a 60-90 ml pour, so a full 5-course harmonization adds up to roughly half a bottle per person. It is designed for tasting and comparing, not for finishing the night dizzy.
Anywhere from a table for two to a dinner party of about ten. Beyond ten guests, chefs usually bring an assistant to keep courses and pours synchronized — mention your headcount when booking.
Yes. Send photos of the labels through the app chat and the chef will design the courses around your bottles — a great option if you have been collecting and want the wines shown at their best.
Not at all. The chef's notes are short and jargon-free, and beginners tend to enjoy the format most. Non-alcoholic pairings — juices, teas and infusions matched per course — are available for guests who don't drink.
