OVERVIEW

Trip Overview

This half-day journey takes you across the island’s rich traditions, where local cheese meets the boldness of our wines, and every bite tells a story of land and sea.

In hidden “adegas”, where time lingers and wine is still made the old way, you will be welcomed as if among friends. Between tapas and tales, you will discover how flavors became part of Pico’s identity, and how each glass carries centuries of dedication.

It is not just about food and drink — it is about savoring the island itself, through its aromas, textures, and the warm hospitality of its people.
