Praia da Vitoria

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).

Incredible experience! I...

Incredible experience! My boyfriend and I booked the night before and, even though it was last minute, Mr. Victor was absolutely impeccable and immediately made himself available to receive us. The visit to the cows was excellent, we learned a lot and we could milk the cow, drink its milk and eat cookies! The conversation with Mr. Victor was also excellent, full of sympathy and good disposition. It also took us on a guided tour of the area around Lajes Base, sharing various local curiosities wit...read more

A great immersive experience in Terceira’s way of life

My husband and myself had a great experience with Vitor who, in addition to the visit to the cows ground, explained all details of every interesting corner, helping us to understand the Azores society and how it functions. The contact with the animals was very nice as well as speaking with the farmer José, who very kindly helped us to milk the cow. In the end, we had a great cheese taste with wine and home-made jam at Vitor’s home and with his wife, Hèlia. A very full-filling experience in which...read more

Cow fun 🐄

Vítor the tour guide was very organized with great communication on where to meet. Loved the shoe covers he provided for walking on the farm and the experience to milk a cow and drink the fresh milk was incredible. We also saw some beautiful scenery on the drive, had local cheese and wine and homemade cake while relaxing in hos beautiful outdoor garden. Vítor was a wealth of information and we loved our time with him and Farmer Joe! Highly recommend this tour!
