An amazing experience in the Azores. Be sure to put it in your itinerary. - With such a rich culture that exists in The Azores, a wine and cheese tasting with a knowledgeable host is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the culture. These folks excelled in doing just that. My wife and I learned a great deal about this part of Azorean culture and had a fabulous time doing it. Not to be missed!!

THE BEST Açorean Wine and Cheese Tasting! - This was an AMAZING experience for our first night in Sâo Miguel! We lucked out and it was just us two for an exclusive tasting event. Fred was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. We learned about the wines and cheeses and about the history and culture of the Açores. And had great conversation about so many related topics. All while seated in the most serene, verdant garden beneath a large shade tree with the Atlantic breeze fanning the leaves for us. The wine and cheese pairings were divine. Like nothing we’ve ever experienced before. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you, Fred!!

We LOVE FOOD and FRED! - Fred was my absolute favorite tour guide ever. He was so bubbly and knew A LOT about the city history, which was amazing because we got to learn a lot while eating our way through the Azores. I’ll call Fred up again next time I’m here!
