The name Aldeia das Adegas is more than just a nod to local history — it’s a true immersion into the winemaking heritage of Pico Island. Since the 15th century, the island’s inhabitants have been building wine cellars in volcanic stone, protected by the famous “currais” — dry stone walls that shield the vines from wind and sea spray. This ingenious system gave rise to iconic wines such as Verdelho, now recognized internationally.

Aldeia das Adegas was born from this tradition, recreating the atmosphere of the old wineries, now transformed into cozy holiday cottages. Located on the symbolic Rua das Adegas (Winery Street), each house in the village takes visitors on a journey into the past, combined with the comfort of modern amenities.

With Pico’s vineyard landscape designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, staying at Aldeia das Adegas is more than just a getaway — it is a living experience that celebrates the resilience, ingenuity, and beauty of a truly unique island.
