Whirlwind tour of wine, food, and history - Excellent tour of history, heritage, and food and wine. We didn’t know what to expect as we had never done an organized tour before, but we were really pleased with the pacing of information, experiences, and sights. Fully recommend this tour and would go on it again. Our guide was welcoming, very knowledgeable, and really shared a slice of life in the Azores we would not have experienced otherwise.

An Unforgettable Wine and Culinary Adventure on Pico Island - Our tour of Pico Island was nothing short of an extraordinary journey into the heart of the island's wine and culinary traditions. Guided by Fabio, a wine producer himself, we delved into an experience that was both educational and palate-pleasing. His unique insights as a local producer added a depth and authenticity to the tour that was truly invaluable. Our journey included a visit to the UNESCO-listed vineyards, where Fabio's knowledge and personal experience in winemaking transformed our understanding of Pico's unique viticulture. We were then guided through a historic plantation owner's house, further immersing us into the rich wine-making history of the island. Our taste buds were delighted as we visited a local producer of brandies and liquors. Each tasting was more impressive than the last, showcasing the mastery of a local craftsman. Our visit to a wine museum further deepened our appreciation for the island's longstanding viticulture tradition. The tour culminated in a delectable wine lunch at a popular local restaurant, where we savored a few of Pico's culinary offerings paired with exquisite local whites. Our day ended with a wine tasting at Pico's largest cooperative producer, offering us a comprehensive overview of the island's diverse wine portfolio. This tour, under Fabio's expert guidance, was a phenomenal blend of education, history, and epicurean delight. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any visitor seeking to discover the richness of Pico Island's wine and food culture.

Wonderful tour of the island and vineyards - Filipe took my partner and I on the wine and flavors tour around Pico island and we had an incredible experience. Filipe was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable, giving us great information about the island and the wine. Our stops were very fun, especially the visit to Adega de Santana and meet Ceaser. He was so passionate about their business, it was wonderful to hear him speak about the distillation process and their products. I would recommend this trip to anyone who asked as it give us a great taste of the island, wonderful memories, and great photos to look back on.

Wonderful day - Perfect day and very relaxed tour. The uniqueness of the craftsmanship was very much a regional, local experience. We were welcomed into the businesses that were a true extension of their homes. This tour was very personalized and not a cookie cutter tour. If you go Pico, this tour is a must!
