Experience the Rich Heritage and Scenic Vineyards of Madeira on a Full Day Tour


This full day journey offers an intimate introduction to the traditions and landscapes that define the world-renowned Madeira wine. The adventure begins on the northwest coast in the charming village of Sao Vicente, where vineyards are dramatically framed by steep terrain and a unique microclimate. Here, you will explore the vital connection between the soil, specific grape varieties, and the meticulous cultivation process, gaining a deeper understanding of how the essence of this fortified wine is carefully crafted.


A guided visit to the vineyard provides a firsthand look at the labor-intensive work required to produce high-quality grapes. This educational walk is followed by a tasting of white, red, and rose wines, all enjoyed with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape that make the moment truly unforgettable. The tour then moves to the sunny southwest coast, specifically the village of Calheta, where a historic wine hotel welcomes guests with the genuine warmth of traditional Madeiran hospitality.


Lunch is a highlight of the day, featuring a three-course meal that showcases local gastronomy, perfectly paired with Madeira wine as an aperitif and local rum as a digestive. This culinary experience emphasizes the importance of regional ingredients and the long-standing relationship between food and wine on the island. The relaxed pace allows you to savor every flavor while learning about the history of the hotel and its role in preserving the local wine culture for future generations.


The day concludes at a peaceful rural estate in Funchal, where lush gardens and historic vineyards set the scene for a final, engaging tasting session. This portion of the tour offers unique insight into both contemporary winemakers and the legacy of families who have crafted fortified wine for generations. By the end of the day, you will have gained a comprehensive perspective on the history, production, and future of Madeira wine, rounding out a journey that celebrates the island's spirit.

It was closed when we got there despite the gates being open. It appeared as though many vines had been removed, just a small area was still being cultivated. A shame really.

This little museum with small vineyard attached near Santana. The tour only lasted for about 5-10 min as the tour guide had limited English. At the end of the tour you are offered a glass of Maderia wine and a few biscuits which is fine for the 3 Euro entrance fee. But the cost of bottle of wine (15 Euros for Miles brand) and the cookies (3.50 Euro) was about double what you would pay at the supermarket for the exact same items. I felt ripped off when I discovered this.

If it looks closed, just pop round the back to the house and someone will come out. Artifacts of local wine making and a knowledgeable guide but with a tricky accent. Entrance 3€ for a look, a sip and (homemade!) bite - such good value, allow an hour of your time!
