Pico Island Wine Tour

We'll start this wine tour around Pico Island at the scheduled time from the Cais da Madalena Pico.

Our first stop will be at Moinho do Frade, known for the surrounding wine-growing landscapes, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The tour will continue to the Cooperativa do Vinho, where we'll enjoy a tasting of a variety of white, red, and liqueur wines, including Frei Gigante, the most recognized white wine in the Azores.

Afterwards, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant featuring fresh products such as tuna or local meats, accompanied by Pico wine.

We'll explore black villages constructed from volcanic stones to reach Madalena. Near this town is the Wine Museum, where we will visit vineyards, wine presses, and learn about the cultivation of grapes used in wine production. Notably, the largest dragon trees on Pico Island are located here.

We'll visit a winery for a second tasting of local wines, including the traditional Verdelho do Pico.

The tour will conclude 8 hours after departure back at the starting point.
