Pico Wines featured at Magma restaurant 

The island of Pico and the island of São Miguel come together in a perfect occasion where Azorean products will be the protagonists, in a tasting dinner, on the 30th of November, which will take place at the restaurant Magma da Senhora da Rosa, Tradition & Nature, in Ponta Delgada. This will be the second meeting that continues the cycle of dinners at the restaurant, and will bring together the Azorean gastronomic and wine excellence that characterizes the two islands so well. Sustainability, appreciation and quality of regional products are the concepts that are always highlighted in an experience that wants to be unique and unforgettable. 

Winemaker Bernardo Cabral, from Picowines, will present the new vintages of the brand/cooperative’s excellent wines, in conjunction with the tasting dinner prepared for the moment, promoting the symbiosis between gastronomy and wines from the islands of Pico and São Miguel. 

Created especially for the occasion by chef João Alves, the menu will feature 6 moments, including a ‘welcome drink’ with Terras de Lava White 2020, followed by starters, fish dishes, meat dish and dessert, and will be available for €40 , an amount that includes wine pairing by Picowines. The menu is a surprise, making the occasion an unforgettable journey of discovery of these two elements that make up the experience. The wine pairing will be presented and commented on by Picowines consultant winemaker, Bernardo Cabral. 

“It is a great pleasure for us to establish synergies in the name of excellence and the enormous quality that the products of our islands assume in the universe of gastronomy and wines and, thus, give stage to the best that exists in the Azores”, says Joana Damião Melo , co-owner and director of Senhora da Rosa, Tradition & Nature Hotel. 

 Bernardo Cabral, consultant oenologist at Picowines, adds that “the Pico wines are genuine and of a unique quality, which makes them differentiating, taking into account the diversity that exists in the wine universe. These are wines that go perfectly with Azorean gastronomy and make us, everyone involved, extremely proud, and those who taste it very happy”. 

 The wine dinner takes place from 7:30 pm with a “welcome drink”, at the Magma restaurant, and promises a celebration of the unique and memorable Azorean essence.
