Do you know that is the most durable man-made product in the world? Any guesses?
Well, the answer may surprise you… It’s Madeira (fortified) wine, with more than 500 years old and as famous as (or even more than) Madeira Island. Despite being famous for its fortified wine, Madeira also produces young still wines.
But wine, like life, is meant to be enjoyed. So that’s better than a day enjoying Madeira wines around the island with the same name?
Over the course of your day with us, you will not only taste Madeira wine (our famous fortified wine) and our young still wines (white and red) but also take part on a journey through the wine-making process from the vineyards to the glass of wine.
So the journey of wine begins at the vineyards where we will do a short walk. Then we will learn more about Madeira’s terroir and wine production process during our day and our visits and tastings to 3 different wine producers. The lunch, hosted at a wine producer, is a typical home-made style meal.
But our Full Day Wine Tour is also a tour around our island, so you will have the opportunity to admire the amazing landscapes of South and North Coast, passing through our UNESCO classified World Heritage Laurissilva forest and get to know the populations of Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, São Vicente and Seixal.
You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a wine tour and some wine and that certainly helps… Join us and discover what makes our wines so special!
