The food was an excellent sampling of Azorean foods: sausage, octopus, stews, cheeses, and pineapple. All of the local wines were excellent and paired well with food. Our tour guide took time to explain each pairing and then gave us the space to enjoy the food and make our own connections about Azorean food. We bonded well with our fellow group members - love the small group setting. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Azorean culture!”
