The Dabney family settled in Faial in 1806, when John Bass Dabney was appointed as the US Consul General in the Azores. Three members of the Dabney family (John, Charles and Samuel) successively served this position for a century. In 1854, Charles William Dabney bought a summer house in Monte da Guia, included in a residential complex composed of a house with a cistern, a pier and a shelter for two boats, a viewpoint, a small vineyard along the slope towards the bay of Porto Pim, as well as a winery, where we can currently find an exhibition about their everyday experiences on the island.
