Our story is written of sweat, blood, and tears. From our ancestors to today’s cellars. It’s our people, our associates, our producers, our traditions, our techniques … a generational knowledge that makes us so unique and original.
Surrounded by the Atlantic and the volcanic basalt, our unique grape varieties – Verdelho, Arinto dos Azores and Terrantez – give the exclusivity of our wines that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
Salinity, freshness or acidity are some of the characteristics that make up the wines of the Azores, offered by the constant contact with the black stone, the sea breeze, and an Atlantic climate.
As soils and base stones, which make it impossible to grow crops and the development of the island, they were raised and assembled in black corral mazes and mazes that today bind the island’s landscape and allow the culture of the vineyard.
These serve as shelter for salines, resembling mazes. This type of viticulture, with a surprising visual impact, involves hard work and dedication, as all vine work is done by hand without any mechanism..

The Pico Wine Tasting was a highlight of our trip! Each of the three wines had such a unique flavor, reflecting the volcanic soil of the island. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local winemaking tradition. Highly recommended!
This tasting experience exceeded our expectations! The wines were exceptional, and learning about how Pico's distinct climate and terrain shape the grapes made it even more special. A must-do for wine lovers visiting the Azores!
We loved the intimate setting of the Pico Wine Tasting. The wines were delicious, and the views of the vineyards against the volcanic backdrop were stunning. It was fascinating to learn about the island's unique wine-growing process. Truly a memorable experience!
