Several ongoing agricultural transitions characterize the Pampa Gaúcho region. Beef cattle farming has always dominated this region. One of these transitions that has gained greater visibility is the production of grapes and wines, with the establishment of new wineries and producers of varying proportions. Despite the recent prominence, it is known that this process has been in transition for decades. Earlier studies have identified the phases of evolution and the factors associated with this trajectory. This study determines the factors that contribute the most to the sociotechnical trajectory of Pampa Gaúcho wines. For this purpose, 10 interviews with experts were conducted and analyzed. Drawing on the study of necessity proposed by the comparative qualitative analysis (QCA) method, we identified 13 essential factors along the trajectory. Furthermore, the factors and levels in the transition process work together. Finally, complexity has increased over time, as shown the numerous factors and levels required to analyze this trajectory. These findings suggest that three levels of sociotechnical trajectory (landscape, regime, and niche) are needed for this evolution, indicating that there is not just one decisive factor in this process.
