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.

I appreciate your generous remarks. Wonderful morning with great people. All the best for you.
Horrifying experience. The csmarstos are sheriff. Milko unsympathetic
This person never did the experience with our company. Fake review. We are already contacting viator support to solve this situation.
We had so much fun learning about the cows and the island on this excursion! Victor did a great job teaching our group. We especially liked the chance to taste local wine and cheese at the end. Highly recommend.
Definitely a great group. Another great adventure. Thank you.
We had a wonderful morning with Vitor. He and his wife were very kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. My kids loved milking the cows and have asked if we can come back to visit them 😌. We would highly recommended the tour!
Gonçalo was a wonderful tour guide. This is a great way to learn about the island, the people and the cows!
It was a great pleasure introducing you to the island. Regards
Gonçalo was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the dairy industry here and of the island in general. Working in the dairy industry in Canada, I found it very interesting to chat with a dairy farmer and see how they do things up close. The cheese and wine at the end was great! My husband really enjoyed this tour as well.

My husband and I went on our honeymoon and it was the highlight of our trip! It was so much fun learning more about farming on Terceria and just getting to spend time with locals. If you visit Terceria, you must book a visit to the farm!! The cheese and wine after was also an amazing experience. 10/10 recommend
Thank you, I am very happy because you enjoyed. Always a pleasure to show our island. All the best for you. Regards, Gonçalo
I gifted this experience to my parents for Christmas, and they loved it! They loved knowing everything about the island and were very happy when they finished the tour as it was a day well spent. Could not have been better, I highly recommend!
Obrigado Beatriz, os seus pais são pessoas maravilhosas.
