Pico Island Wine Tour Showcases UNESCO Vineyards, Volcanic Landscapes, and Azorean Winemaking Heritage
A four-hour guided journey into the heart of Pico Island offers an immersive introduction to the region’s distinctive wine culture, shaped by volcanic landscapes and centuries of resilient agricultural tradition. Set within the Azores, the experience explores one of the world’s most unique winemaking environments, where nature and human ingenuity are closely intertwined.
The tour takes visitors through the UNESCO-listed vineyards of Pico Island, where rows of black basalt stone walls, known as “currais,” shelter grapevines from strong Atlantic winds. These carefully constructed enclosures form a striking geometric pattern across the landscape, reflecting generations of adaptation to the island’s harsh but fertile volcanic terrain.
As participants walk through the vineyards, they learn about the history of Pico viticulture and the traditions that have shaped its identity. The experience highlights how local farmers transformed challenging conditions into a sustainable wine-producing system that continues to thrive today.
The journey also includes guided tastings of local wines, where guests can sample varieties influenced by mineral-rich soils and coastal climate conditions. Visits with local producers offer personal insight into traditional winemaking practices and the cultural significance of wine on the island.
The experience is further enriched by visits to traditional villages featuring volcanic stone architecture, providing a deeper understanding of Pico’s geological origins and cultural heritage. Together, the vineyards, tastings, and local encounters create a well-rounded exploration of one of the Azores’ most distinctive wine regions.

Customer Reviews
This isn’t your usual winery tour and tasting, you’re literally going to be ushered into a small room with a load of strangers and given some vinegary wines by a gruff woman who doesn’t really seem to want to be at work or know much about wines. Don’t do the cheeseboard, it’s overpriced and it’ll just be shoved on the table so you’ll have to eat it whilst everyone else watches you.
We came with best intentions to do a wine tasting and learn about their wines. Unfortunately staff was unfriendly and didn’t seem interested in hosting us. I was telling we would rather skip the red wine but would like to try a certain white from their portfolio to complete the lineup, but this was refused. I understand that 20€ for tasting 3 wines is local standard and I am always happy to support wineries and pay this price, even though it’s beyond international standards. I would just expect a little flexibility and customer orientation in this case. The opposite was the case: We have never been treated with this level of indifference at a winery. So in the end we decided not to do a tasting and skip this winery for good.
We had the most wonderful experience at the Pico Island Wine Cooperative thanks to Ana. Despite our very last-minute request, she graciously accommodated us for a wine tasting and welcomed our young family with warmth and patience. Ana is incredibly knowledgeable — she shared not only exceptional wines with us but also deep insights into the unique viticulture and history of Pico. Her passion was infectious, and she went above and beyond to make the experience engaging, educational, and relaxed. It was a true highlight of our trip, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Pico wines. Thank you, Ana!
