Maximum bang for our buck, here is what I mean: stumbled on the place by chance on a slow day on the island // Victor gave us a detailed intro on the old and recent history of the place, including architecture wise // we walked around their beautiful inner garden and talked about the accumulation lakes and how they work (there was a giant storm recently and was not yet safe to go around the vineyards) // the wine tasting itself was the most pleasurable, Victor had so much patience and we talked a lot - a really hands on experience of the mineral local wines amongst each other and in combination with the food. We have the EUR 30 happily and bought a bottle. The bottles, you may be able to find some of them in the market, but years may differ which counts

We spontaneously dropped by for a wine tasting and received a very warm welcome. You can choose between a tasting of three or six wines; the six-wine tasting includes red wine. We opted for the three-wine white wine tasting, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Victor had previously given us a tour of the winery and provided more information about its history, as well as about winemaking in the Azores in general. The tasting also included a platter of local delicacies.

Our host Simao gave us a warm welcome and shared a wealth of knowledge about wine. His ability to speak German was unexpected but very pleasant. The small wine tasting convinced us of the excellent quality of the wine from Pico Island.

Excellent program for a rainy day on the island. We tasted the 3 regional wines included and were even offered a fourth glass. We were served by Simão who, in addition to being friendly and giving excellent explanations, is generous in his service. We will repeat the experience.

The wine itself was very good, and Victor gave excellent explanations—super knowledgeable and detailed. However, the experience felt extremely overpriced: only three tastings and a few shared snacks for €60 for two people. Personally, I’d recommend buying a nice bottle of wine instead and enjoying it by the water on the coast.
