The tour begins with a scenic 30-minute drive from Funchal to São Vicente, a village on Madeira’s northern coast. Upon arrival at one of the island’s largest vineyards, guests are welcomed by local guides who lead a 30min tour, explaining the estate’s exclusive wine production process from grape selection to winemaking techniques. The vineyard tour offers panoramic views of Madeira’s landscape with insights into the unique grape varieties and cultivation methods used on the estate. After the vineyard tour, guests head to the tasting room for a traditional regional lunch.

Afterwards, is served a homemade passion fruit dessert paired with a glass of Madeira wine, creating a memorable end to the culinary experience.
