Don't Miss This!
It was a fantastic tour. We didn't have the best weather for part of the day, but our guide Bernardo did a really great job of adjusting the tour to give us a wonderful day. Lunch was incredible and we visited places you don't see on other tours. Bernardo was knowledgeable, professional, and also fun. We had a great time with him.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, it was our pleasure, the lunch is like that to make a different experience for you to remmember :) regards Proislandtour team

Fabulous Tour and Great Hospitality!
We highly recommend booking this tour with Antonio and the Pro Island Tour team! They are a local family who not only provide great tips and friendliness to explore Terceira but also make great homemade Portuguese food. The jeep van driven by Antonio was a fantastic ride that allowed us to explore more unknown parts of the island including visiting some natural pools. We even enjoyed a refreshing dip at one of the natural pools in Biscoitos! The lunch Antonio and his family provided was fantastic, they even provided beer, wine, and water. We also enjoyed the wine tasting and exploring the vineyard! It is a very cool vineyard that shows a lot of beautiful flowers and very unique ways on how the wine is produced. Overall, we highly recommend booking this tour experience with Pro Island Tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review, it is always a great feeling to hear that we contributed for your stay in Terceira to be an enjoyable one, and that we made a memorie for you to remember for times to come, hope to see you again some day soon Thank you António

Wines and Moonshines of Terceira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Terceira.
How much does Wines and Moonshines of Terceira cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 Wines and Moonshines of Terceira take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Wines and Moonshines of Terceira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Terceira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wines and Moonshines of Terceira?
+
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 Wines and Moonshines of Terceira suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wines and Moonshines of Terceira?
+
Around 22 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wines and Moonshines of Terceira 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.

What languages is Wines and Moonshines of Terceira offered in?
+
