The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of wine tourism in the island of Fogo (Cape Verde). To achieve this goal is analyzed the main tourist resources in this area to promote this type of tourism and is carried out fieldwork on the opinions and perceptions of tourists visiting this geographical area both in terms of quality and the potential services and tourism resources respectively.
