Another wonderful Hungry Whales tour! - There were 7 of us on this wonderful Wine, Cheese & Charcuterie tasting and walking tour. It was the 3rd time my husband and I have done tours with this company and each one is better than the one before, and they were ALL excellent!! Rafael, the owner of the company is always so informative and makes everyone feel comfortable very quickly. The food was great, the wine even better. He met us at the port and walked us back after it was over. All 7 of us were very happy with the tour. I am sure that when we return we will be contacting Hungry Whales and Rafael for another great experience. I highly recommend this company.

The Absolute Best Wine & Cheese/Charcuterie Tasting Experience - What an incredible experience at Hungry Whales! We did the wine and cheese tasting experience, it was located at their new showroom, which was beautifully decorated and very relaxing. The cheese, food, wine and most important the experience they provided was over the top amazing!! We learned about local vines, the history of wine making on the island, the history of the island itself, the background to their world renowned Azorean cheeses and so so much more! We left extremely full, and wine satisfied. They were very abundant in their quantities! We loved the experience so much, we booked another one of their tours. The whole staff went over and above for me and my wife! Fred our sommelier was like a brother to us. Can’t say enough about this amazing experience! Highly highly recommend while visiting Ponte Delgada!!!! 10/10

Atmosphereless wine/cheese tasting - A new accommodation has recently been taken into use.Reception moderate and matt.Unlit reception room without music.After 20 minutes awkward waiting time we are requested to take the stairs to the next floor.For guests with walking difficulties such as one of our fellow guests awkward.Also in the room where the wine and cheese tasting takes place no atmosphere.Fierce lighting no music.
Fred, our host, spins his standard story between each round of cheese and wine tasting and leaves the room. There would be allowance for a gluten intolerance.The rice crackers used for the occasion were old and chewy.
The meeting went without any significant atmosphere. This really needs improvement.
Cheese and wines incidentally tasty.Price quality ratio in our opinion out of balance.
