Enjoy a Honey Experience in São Miguel – Azores!
This bee farm was a wine production farm where old vines of different varieties can still be seen. The farm nowadays no longer produces wine and is populated by species native to the Azores Island and other important species for bees. From nectar to honey, there is a great journey. After the bees transform the nectar from flowers into honey, they store it in the hive, and it serves as food for the swarm. However, bees store more than they consume. How is honey extracted? On this visit to a honey house (the place where honey is extracted), discover and experience the honey extraction process until it reaches the table. At the end of the visit, taste the different types of honey from the Azores in a blind tasting to understand the influence of flora on the flavors, colors and aromas of each honey.

Highlights
The full journey from nectar to jar. Seeing the entire honey extraction process at a dedicated honey house offers real depth beyond a simple tasting.
A genuine blind tasting. Comparing different Azorean honeys blind, without knowing which is which, sharpens your sense of how local flora shapes flavor, color and aroma.
Rooted in a former vineyard. The honey house’s history as a wine production farm, now home to native bee-friendly plants, adds a distinctive layer to the visit.
A rare, hands-on look at extraction. Understanding how bees store more honey than they consume, and how that surplus becomes the honey you taste, is a detail most visitors never learn.

My friend and I loved our time with our host and her honeybees. She was very welcoming when we first arrived and very knowledgeable throughout our whole experience. She made us feel very comfortable around the bees and always explained what she was doing and why. And the honey is delicious! If you are in São Miguel and value local, unique experiences you should definitely pay a visit !

Amazing tour! Great to learn about the incredible and complex world of bees. The tour guide is super friendly and at the end we could even try delicious bread with honey and lemonade. A must-go!
