Other Tastings
We love taste and experience. Please see below for our other tastings and experiences
Honey tastings
Our honey tastings take you on a voyage through the archipelago tasting bothexquisite monofloral honeys that come from our rich heritage of introduced plants and the wide variety of distinct tastes offered by the multifloral honeys from different islands that represent the flora of the islands. This translates into different tastes and typify our small-scale producers, some of which produce just a few kg of honey per year that we are incredibly lucky to be able to offer. All served with a light snack.
Supermarket honey will never taste the same again!

Water tastings
Water comes out of the tap right? Well it does but that is only part of the story. We are blessed in Furnas with a plethora of drinkable waters that are all different in terms of carbonation, mineralisation and temperature. Enjoy a tour of our natural water sources learning about the chemistry and current and historical use of the mineral and thermal waters on the tour, finishing with teas made from some of the waters that will change your idea of tea and water! Open your mind to a different world of water!
