The 12 Wine Tours in Pico That Earn Their Price

1.Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $168Our pick

Small-group Pico wine tour with UNESCO vineyard walks, Picowines tastings, lunch, and Madalena village views. English guide.

“I was wondering about the cost of the Wine Tour. When you live the experience, you understand. What hard ploughs live the workers on the ground, the producers often in uncertainty, all these basalt walls that complicate the movements... The cost is worth it! And what about the Filipe Guide who created his Enterprise Terralta Nature Tours; a dedicated person, in love with his island, proud and above all, who answers ALL questions of geo, history, tradition, culture. I loved the restaurant for dinner where we could taste different typical dishes of the island, then the tasting was unique. Thank you Filipe:-)Auto-translated”

We then visited the vineyards to the north, including visiting a village that is/was used for wine making. Finished up with a wine tasting and wine lecture at Tito’s Adeguinha - Tito’s childhood home and now center of his enterprise A Cerca Dos Frades - facilitated by Felipe and his friend Fabio - a well known figure in the Açoreana wine industry. A must do for all the wine lovers!”
