Czar Pico wine is unique in the world, say wine critics and scientists!
Its price can reach more than 1000€ per bottle, reflecting the History it carries and the risks taken by its producer: Fortunato, who owns some of the oldest Verdelho, centenarian vines.
With a perfect balance between acidity & sweetness, Czar wines reach 18 degrees of alcohol exclusively from fermentation, differentiating it from liqueur and fortified wines (like port wine), to another category. The unique Czar wines!
Because grapes are harvested very mature, strong wind or rain can tear these gold grapes to the ground and destroy all harvest.
This year we are lucky! Fortunato just bottled the 2015 harvest and we have some from previous years exclusive for wine tastings. Aged for 8 years in oak barrels, limited to 1000 bottles. We saved some for you!
Join us in this exclusive wine tasting, meet the producer & taste limited editions of Czar Pico Wine you will otherwise not be able to find in the market.

Great wine experience in Pico

5.00I would highly recommend my experience with the tour of Czar Winery and the surrounding area. Our guide, Silvia, and the wine producer, Fortunato, were friendly, engaging, informative and made it a truly enjoyable afternoon. Silva certainly made everyone in the group feel welcomed. We tasted some incredible and rare wines, accompanied by an equally rare local cheese, as he explained in great detail the history of it all. The tour began with a walk through the unesco wine region and a sangria tasting at a nearby wine village. Please consider this tour when visiting the island of Pico.
Simply Amazing

5.00Amazing experience! Silvia is an amazing host, we had such a wonderful time. Everything was perfect, from visiting the Pico Wine Unesco Heritage site, tasting the amazing wine at Czar Winery, meeting Fortunato and the unexpected stop at Entre Pedras wineshop. And how could I forget a little birthday surprise! If you are traveling to Pico you must book a tour with Silvia!

5.00Excellent tour. Learnt a lot about the history of Pico island and wine making taking place on the island and the particularities, making this wine very unique. Enjoyed seeing the wines and winery and meeting with the owner and hearing about the history of Czar winery. All of the wine samples was very unique and excellent. Both my 15 and 7 year old stayed engaged and were able to enjoy learning about the history, winery and wine making as well. Highly recommend this tour on Pico island.
Amazing, once in a lifetime experience
