Itinerary
Here you can visit the dairy farm, where milking takes place in its traditional way (manual milking outdoors in the pasture). This farm produces organic milk. Direct contact with the animals, including the possibility for visitors to manually milk the cow and taste the milk that has just come out of the cow's udder accompanied by homemade biscuits. It is also possible to pet the animals, take pictures with them and walk around the pastures. At this stop, interaction with the farmer is guaranteed. He explains the details of his activity and is always available to answer all questions. This tour is 10.5 miles long through the farmers roads. In addition to the farm visit we have 5 other quick stops (landscape viewpoints), a visit to the milk collection center (where farms sell the milk) and a final stop for cheese and wine tasting (private azorean house).
Cheese and wine tasting at private house – Finally, visitors can taste the local Azorean cheese and Portuguese wine in our living room and garden.

About Terceira
Terceira is a volcanic island in the Azores, with the World Heritage town of Angra do Heroísmo, a lava-tube cave and fields bounded by stone walls.
Terceira lies in the central group of the Azores, an island of green pasture divided by black basalt walls. Angra do Heroísmo, the main town on the south coast, was once an important Atlantic port, and its old centre of pastel houses and churches is a UNESCO site. A fortress crowns Monte Brasil, the volcanic peninsula at its edge. Praia da Vitória, on the east coast, has the island's main sandy beach.
