Paisagem da Cultura da Vinha da Ilha do Pico

Paisagem da Cultura da Vinha da Ilha do Pico is a unique UNESCO-listed site. This remarkable landscape of vineyards on the volcanic substrate of the island of Pico in the Azores archipelago impresses with its distinctive stone walls of 'currais', protecting the vines from the sea wind.

The famous verdelho wine, produced here for centuries, was held in high regard even at the court of the Russian tsars. During your visit, you can enjoy scenic walking trails, the historic red Moinho do Frade windmill and visit the Madalena Wine Museum, housed in a former Carmelite monastery.
