Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch
By Wine Tours Madeira · listed in wine tasting and food tours in Madeira
If you want fortified-wine tastings and a vineyard visit, I'd choose this full day. It comes first in our wine and food ranking, which weighs the rating by the number of reviews. Lunch is included.
Start with a private visit to Blandy's Wine Lodges in Funchal. Cross the laurel forest to São Vicente for table wines and a vineyard walk. Lunch is espetada with wine. The final tasting is at Barbeito's before the return to Funchal.
This suits a day devoted to wine. The half-day vineyard visit leaves you more time for other plans. Hotel pickup covers Funchal. Guests staying elsewhere can meet at Blandy's.
