Marcos Ritter de Gregorio holds a degree in Architecture and a Master’s in Civil Construction Technology. He worked for over 20 years as a designer and builder and taught at university level for 12 years. Since 2020, he has been fully dedicated to Vinhedo Lacustre, Brazil’s first urban vineyard, pursuing the dream started by his father, who planted the first vines a decade earlier.

Under his leadership, the project has combined technical expertise, family vision, and a passion for the land, quickly becoming a reference point for wine tourism and urban viticulture in the Brazilian capital.
