Intertwined with the local communities we curate encounters and tastings you wouldn’t otherwise be able to live, EXCLUSIVELY with independent wine producers. This heroic wine comes from vines that grow from lava soil and flourish on the rock. All the work is done manually and none of this has changed in 500 years, when the first settlers introduced grape growing in Pico. After our walk in the landscape of Pico Wine, to refresh our feet, we drive you to one of our favorite natural swimming pools, in an amazing setting or just lay down for a bit, exchanging more local stories and preparing your appetite for the next stop. Finally, we take to a wine tasting in a beautiful setting with an emergent and promising awarded independent local producer. You will experience all the landscape and history in your mouth! ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet near the Boat terminal, - Starts 10:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €170 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 33 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Oh!
