Terceira Wineries & Vineyards Tour
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Terceira and we'll make our way to Biscoitos. Are you ready to step foot into the fascinating world of wine?
Once we reach this location in the northern part of the island, we'll visit the winery Materramenta, where we'll discover how Azores wines are made. If you've selected the option that includes a wine tasting, you'll be able to try some different varieties.
Additionally, we'll enjoy a delicious homemade lunch at this winery, which includes local dishes from the archipelago. After lunch, we'll continue our tour of the island by visiting different vineyards in Terceira, which will vary depending on the season.
During this route, we'll discover what different types of grapes are cultivated on the island, and what care grapevines require. We'll also learn about the most common viticulture techniques, which have been passed down from generation to generation over centuries.
Lastly, after a total of 8 hours getting to know the wine-making traditions in the Azores, our tour of Terceira will come to an end back at your hotel.
