Discover the fascinating history of the wine culture on Pico Island as you hike the emblematic trail through the Protected Landscape of the Pico Island Vineyard Culture area. You'll traverse a 1500 year old lava field and hike through ancient walls that were built from lava rock as you make your way to the Wine Museum. As you enter the main room of the building, be prepared to relive the history of the island's viticulture, from the introduction of grape growing and the golden times of the Verdelho, exported to Brazil and Russia, to the ruin caused in 1852 by the powdery mildew and the phylloxera.
Stay in the comfort of a one-bedroom apartment, including a living room and kitchenette, and featuring gorgeous views, during your stay in a small village on Pico Island. On the premises you'll find a heated infinity pool, a multi-use panoramic room, a restaurant, a small grocery shop, as well as a gift shop. Pico Island is one of the most beautiful and underrated islands of the Azores, and stands majestically in the middle of the Azorean central group. Volcanic eruptions ended 300 years ago so Pico is considered a dormant volcano, which adds to the mystique of the island, where the landscape is a sublime mixture of lava rock and exotic vegetation. Though the island is sparsely populated, it boasts some of the best swimming holes in the Azores.
