Amazing dinner hosted by locals
This was by far one of our top favorite experiences on our Azores trip. Victor and his wife are wonderful hosts and amazing cooks. We had such a huge spread and were able to experience so many Terceira authentic foods. They also shared with us many stories about the history and folklore of the islands and also current events and sites to see. Victor was so prompt with communications and also extremely helpful. Even after our dinner he helped us with recommendations of places to go and see and eat at. We had a magical night and left absolutely full and quite content and happy to have met such a lovely local couple. Thank you Victor for a magical night on Terceira
Response from the operator: It’s rewarding to hear such kind words from you. Another great night, another oportunity to enjoy the company of wonderful people. Regards, Hélia and Victor

Memorable experience with an extraordinary host
The quality of the service provided by Vítor exceeded all expectations. His passion for the region was reflected in the local cuisine he presented to us, providing an authentic taste of Azorean culture. I highly recommend these experiences to anyone looking for not just a destination, but an exceptional host who will make their stay truly special.

Warm hospitality-Terrific Experience
Victor picked us up from our ship, provided an informative tour, especially interesting to see the air base that was active during WW2 and now being re-activated. Upon arriving at his home we were greeted warmly by his wife, Helia, and taken into their lovely backyard/garden for several local appetizers, some cooked right in front of us. Served local wines that were delicious, while getting to know our hosts. We then moved into their dining room where we were served a traditional Azorean beef stew, slow cooked for 5 hrs in a clay pot with delightful seasonings. After supper we were served an "Amalia cake" and more wine, some made personally by our delightful hosts. We had interesting conversation, learning about some of their customs and saw video of the bull run that occurs every year right outside their home! Victor provided photos from the air base, i mentioned earlier, from when it was active and explaining how important it was/is geographically. All in all, we would heartily recommend this experience, we have shared with our friends that it was the highlight of our entire 14 day cruise. thank you, Victor and Helia.
Response from the operator: It was a wonderful night, great people. It was a great pleasure introducing you to our history, culture, traditions and food/wine. if your ship passes by again, it will be a pleasure to welcome you again

The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Terceira.
How much does The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines cost?
+
Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Terceira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Terceira is not rushed.
Is The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Terceira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Terceira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Terceira and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Table is Set - Azorean Home Cooking and Wines start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Terceira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Terceira?
+
On Outty we rank every Terceira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Underground Van Tour (Half Day) | Terceira Island, Private Terceira Island Full Day Tour, Island Van Tour (Full Day) | Terceira Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Terceira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Terceira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
