Taste rare, oak‑aged Czar Pico wines after a short walk through UNESCO‑listed volcanic vineyards. This four‑hour experience pairs geology and local history with intimate pours and a visit to a natural ocean pool.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Black basalt walls cut the wind into ridged patterns as you step from the van onto rock that still remembers fire. Salt hangs in the air, the Atlantic daring you to draw closer; underfoot the vineyards run in thin, defended plots — vines threaded through lava stone like hand-sewn seams. This tasting pairs that raw geology with Fortunato Garcia’s Czar Pico vintages, rare bottles fermented to 18° alcohol and aged in oak for years.

Pico’s dry‑stone vineyards emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries as growers adapted to lava fields; the landscape is now a UNESCO site recognizing that agricultural ingenuity.
Conservation
The area is sensitive: stick to marked paths to avoid trampling young vines and lichens, and take all litter — sustainability is a local priority given limited island resources.
