Highlights
A genuinely rare volcanic terroir. Only eight regions in the world produce volcanic wine, and the Azores’ native Verdelho, Arinto and Terrantez de Pico offer a real taste of that rarity.
A welcome into a real family home. Being hosted in Vitor’s own garden and dining room, alongside his wife, offers a genuinely intimate, non-touristy experience.
Feels like dinner with friends, not a tour. Past guests consistently describe the atmosphere as warm and personal, more like visiting friends than a commercial tasting.
Vitor’s deep island knowledge. Guests repeatedly praise his passion and storytelling about Terceira’s history, often pointing them to places a big tour company would never show.

Our guide was a phenomenal tour guide. My wife and I loved the volcanic wine tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the entire island, and welcomed us into his home as he part of the tour. Eating and drinking with our guide and his wife was an incredible experience. I highly recommend the tour!

Our guide was an amazing tour guide, he showed us places that we would've never found ourselves and he was so knowledgeable about the history of the azores. He told us so many interesting stories! The wine tasting and tapas and his house made us feel so welcome and it was almost like spending an evening with friends at home! He went out of his way to make us feel at home, can only recommend! Will definitely book another tour with him next time. Thanks again to our guide and his lovely wife!

Our guide is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the island he has lived on his entire life. We enjoyed the whole day tour that included some sights you wouldn't see with a big tour company. He and his wife also provided a cooking class that included local delights and a fabulous meal with local meats and wine along with the dessert we made in class. Truly a professional that takes pride in what he does. Don't take a big bus tour; stick with a small local guide.
