Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

By Madeira Exquisite Food on Foot Tours · listed in wine tasting and food tours in Madeira

Our take

For a first food walk with children from 7, I'd pick Taste Funchal. It has the largest review base in this selection. Vegans should choose another experience.

A guide accompanies you through the historic centre and market. Tastings include fruit and honey cake. You also try biscuits and custard tarts with Madeira wine or Portuguese tea. There's a small amount of walking. The route is wheelchair accessible.

The departure needs at least four people. If fewer book, you can reschedule or get a full refund. Tell the team about dietary requirements when you book.
