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!
