Embark on a full-day gastronomic journey that immerses you in the rich and flavorful traditions of Terceira. From pastries to pot roasts, cheeses to liqueurs, this tour is a celebration of the island’s culinary heritage—deeply rooted in culture, history, and the bounties of the land.

Along the way, you'll uncover the stories behind local ingredients: the bold use of spices, the surprising touch of vinegar, the exceptional quality of Azorean milk, and the golden tones of native white wine grapes. Each bite and sip reveals a deeper layer of Terceira’s identity.

Breakfast – Pastry Tasting:
We begin the day with a tasting of conventual pastries, inspired by the island’s centuries-old traditions created by nuns. Savor the sweetness while learning the history behind these iconic treats.

Brunch – Cheese Factory Visit:
Our next stop is a local cheese factory, where you’ll enjoy a generous brunch featuring a tasting of artisanal cheeses paired with delicious island bread—an unbeatable match.

Lunch – Alcatra:
This iconic dish is the heart of Terceira’s cuisine. A slow-cooked pot roast, rich with wine and spices, Alcatra is an unforgettable taste of the island’s soul.

Dessert – Ice Cream:
With three times more cows than people, dairy is abundant and top quality. Naturally, we indulge in homemade ice cream made with the freshest milk around.

Tasting of Local Liqueurs:
Terceira is also home to a vibrant variety of fruit-based liqueurs. You’ll sample some of the best, each one a flavorful expression of the island’s fertile land.
