Join us for a wine tasting at the historic Solar Branco Eco Estate, above the town of Livramento. The area was known for growing wine grapes in the 1700s, before citrus took over in the 1800s. The estate still has its terraces on which grapes were grown. You will be hosted by Ali Bullock, owner of the Solar Branco Eco Estate, and our in-house private wine sommelier, João Couto. Ali and João will take you through the rich history of winemaking in Portugal and its regional wines.
During the tasting you will sample 3 white wines and 3 red wines from Portugal. The wines are all paired with local cheeses and savory bites showcasing regional Azorean specialities. Each unique wine is handpicked from small independent producers.
The tasting takes place on the Gin Library terrace, where you will enjoy views of the countryside and Atlantic ocean. We welcome you to take a tour of the grounds of the estate, with a glass of wine in hand. The estate is perfectly located less than 10 minutes from the main city of Ponta Delgada. The heritage house sits on top of a hill, surrounded by farmland, overlooking the quaint town of Livramento and the ocean beyond.
About your host: Ali, is a passionate wine expert on Azorean wine. He will guide you through the unique wines that are grown here on the volcanic islands of the Azores.
Please note: This experience is only available for adults over eighteen.
