Description

Discover Pico's UNESCO Vineyard Landscape, explore centuries-old volcanic vineyards, admire breathtaking coastal scenery, and learn the fascinating history behind the island's world-famous wines.
Discover one of Portugal's most extraordinary cultural landscapes on this guided journey through the UNESCO World Heritage Vineyard Landscape of Pico Island.

For over 500 years, local families have transformed black volcanic lava into fertile vineyards, creating thousands of kilometers of hand-built basalt stone walls known as currais. This remarkable landscape stands today as one of the world's finest examples of human resilience and adaptation to nature.

Your experience begins with pickup from your accommodation, the airport or the ferry terminal before travelling through the island's historic wine region.

Visit the iconic vineyards of Criação Velha, one of the most photographed locations in the Azores, where endless stone walls stretch across the lava fields towards the Atlantic Ocean with magnificent views of Mount Pico.

Continue to the historic village of Lajido, where traditional wine houses, old distilleries and centuries-old cellars tell the story of Pico's prosperous wine trade, once exported to the royal courts of Europe and Russia.

Along the route, your local guide will explain how volcanic soil, ocean winds and traditional cultivation methods create wines unlike anywhere else in the world. Learn about the island's indigenous grape varieties, including Verdelho, Arinto dos Açores and Terrantez do Pico, and discover why this landscape earned UNESCO World Heritage status.

Throughout the tour you'll stop at spectacular viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Faial Island and Pico Mountain, offering outstanding opportunities for photography.

Guests may also choose to enjoy an optional wine tasting at a local winery (not included), providing the perfect opportunity to experience the unique volcanic wines produced on the island.

This experience is ideal for travellers interested in history, culture, photography, UNESCO heritage and authentic local traditions, offering the perfect introduction to one of the Azores' most iconic landscapes.
