Eating Madeira! Wine & Food Tour in Funchal
By Wine Tours Madeira · listed in wine tasting and food tours in Madeira
If trying poncha is part of your plan, this guided food walk is a good fit. The nine stops include eleven food tastings and six drinks. I'd choose it for an adult outing in Funchal.
You try Sercial and Malmsey alongside food such as marinated pork in local bread. There are sweet tastings too. A visit to the Mercado dos Lavradores takes about 20 minutes. The walk ends in Zona Velha.
Allow 3 hours 30 minutes from the 10:00 start. You need a moderate level of fitness. Ask about Monday before booking. The calendar and meeting instructions give different days.
