Most enjoyable tour, highly recommended. Great thanks to Gabrielle - Superior tour with Gabrielle. He is as personable as he is knowledgeable. Took us to places we would never see otherwise, all of them wonderous. Highly recommend this tour and if you are fortunate to get Gabrielle as a driver you will be in for a treat.

Amazing 🤩 - We loved the vineyard route, the Adega de Sant’Ana (Thanks Cesar), the wine tasting and the lunch break. The kidness and the knowledge of our guide Filipe will make us do another meeting in the future, we promise to come back with a bottle of French wine ! Many thanks. Valérie et Jean-Marc CHEVALIER

To do! - I was wondering about the cost of the Wine Tour. When you live the experience, you understand. What hard ploughs live the workers on the ground, the producers often in uncertainty, all these basalt walls that complicate the movements... The cost is worth it! And what about the Filipe Guide who created his Enterprise Terralta Nature Tours; a dedicated person, in love with his island, proud and above all, who answers ALL questions of geo, history, tradition, culture. I loved the restaurant for dinner where we could taste different typical dishes of the island, then the tasting was unique. Thank you Filipe:-)

Thank you Filipe - Filipe is not just knowledgeable about Pico and Azorean wine, but also about the island’s culture and history. When I mentioned my Grandmother was from Pico he took a detour to the parish where she was born. We went into the church and met a very kind and helpful woman who was able to share some information on my family history. What a wonderful gift! A big thank you to Filipe for taking an interest and helping me explore my Pico heritage through food and history.

Great Pico tour and wine tasting - We really loved this tour! Filipe was very knowledgeable on all things Pico Island and its wine culture, we learned so much about Pico Island and he was able to answer any questions we had! He took us to more places to see than just wineries which was great. We also enjoyed a full Portuguese buffet lunch, and loved all the Pico wines we tried in the day! The liquor/brandy tasting was also a very nice addition to the tour. Would definitely highly recommend this tour!

A must do! - This was one of the most enjoyable wine tours that I have ever done (and I have done quite a few!) - a full day excursion, learning about the history of the island and wine production on Pico, tasting some delicious wines as well local brandy and liqueurs, and getting a mini island tour. The spectacular traditional lunch was a particular highlight! Overall, the itinerary was very well thought out well paced. Filipe was a truly excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Pico (and the Azores more generally) and looked after us exceptionally well. Highly recommend, an absolute must do.
