Begin your tour with a pickup in Madalena. Head to the vineyards of Criação Velha, where you’ll witness the special characteristics and beauty of Pico’s wine landscape. Learn about the hard work involved in cultivating these unique vineyards.

Next, visit a wine cooperative founded in 1949. Discover the “adega” where the wine is produced and enjoy a tasting. With background information and a deeper understanding of the process, the wine will taste even more delicious.

Explore the built centers of typical adegas (wine cellars) and other features related to the golden wine age. Discover some of these apparently abandoned places on the south and north coast of Pico. Understand the hardship of the people in the past and how they transformed something useless into something very valuable.
