Just think of the romance that surrounds wines grown in soils born of molten earth and ash. Volcanic soils account for only 1 percent of the world’s surface but contribute a much larger percentage of the world’s great vineyards. Volcanic wines have captivated adventurous wine lovers looking to shock their palates with something different. This is a micro-production wine from the volcanic Azores islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is grown in volcanic basalt at sea level, less than 50m from the Atlantic. This terroir and the blend of varieties imbue this wine with incredible minerality and purity, as well as unmistakable stony flavours, salinity, and a savoury character, minerality and volcanic wines walk hand-in-hand. Volcanic wine regions are home to some of the most intriguing and characterful wines in the world. Azores, the place where the stone became wine. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 18 pickup points - Starts 14:00: one departure a day - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €45: ages 4 to 12 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 18 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €110 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 38 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Islanders - Immersive Experiences - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: Portuguese, English - Start times: 14:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-30 ## Reviews 5.0 from 38 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 38 of 38. - 5 stars: 38 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the welcoming hosts, local wines and homemade food; no recurring drawback appears in the supplied reviews. **Praised:** - Clear explanations of Azorean wine, island history and traditions - Welcoming hosts and a relaxed, personal tasting at their home - Local wines paired with cheeses, homemade dishes and desserts - Island viewpoints and sightseeing alongside the wine tasting **Complaints:** - No complaints about this tour appear in the supplied reviews Written by Guidekin from the 35 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2022-04-17 to 2026-09-20); last checked 2026-10-07. ## What's included - Private transportation - In a relaxing atmosphere in the garden of an Azorean family, try several different Azorean wines accompanied by appetizing tastings of the island's flavors. - Taste several difrerent local Azorean wines (at least 3 wines/full bottle on the table), fortified wines and homemade liqueurs.
