All about wine
Pico Wine Culture – Full day
Pico islandWine is the nectar of the gods, and the island of Pico a parcel fallen from Olympus.
The pounding landscape of the vineyards resulted from decades of hard, endless work, but its mighty image also furrowed the hills with a magnificent digital printing.
Associated to it, the wine cellars appear, places of peace and delight concealed in the coolness of the shades and recesses where the casks rest. Under impressive dragon trees, the most notorious of the cellars arises – the wine museum.
Mouthwatering local food included
Each island in the Azores has its regional delicacies. Try the delicious Azorean cuisine and let yourself be carried away by traditions!
The richness of Criação Velha Vineyards
Mandatory route for all those who visit us.
Tasting wine with your eyes on the Atlantic
It has never been so good to try wine tasting the breeze of the Ocean.
