The Pico Wine Museum<\/strong> in the Azores, specifically in the town of Madalena, it is one of the museums that make up the Pico Museums, which also include the Whalers\u2019 Museum and the Whaling Industry Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existence of this museum dedicated to wine on Pico Island makes perfect sense when, upon arriving in Madalena, you pass through the 'Cria\u00e7\u00e3o Velha' Vineyard Landscape or the Pico Island Vineyard Culture Landscape, depending on which road you choose. This landscape helps visitors understand the importance of wine production on Pico and how it differs from that on the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, we recommend setting aside a little time during your stay on the island to visit the Pico Wine Museum. The museum is closed on Mondays and is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (April through September) or from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (October through March), but you can always check the current opening hours on the museum's website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To visit this museum, we paid \u20ac2 (in 2022) and explored the place practically on our own. The reception is at the Distillery Building<\/strong> and when purchasing the tickets, visitors are given a brief explanation of the recommended route for exploring the site and some interesting facts. Throughout the visit, a staff member stayed nearby and answered our questions and comments with information about the museum and the island, which made the entire visit much more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
