Top Madeira Wine Tasting Tours

We were a very small group, Matt our guide had a great sense of humour and was really informative, giving us plenty of local history, explanations about all the plant life, as well as the local food and wine. The tour was very relaxed and moved at our pace with numerous stops for samples of alcohol and food. For those concerned about accessing toilets there were plenty of opportunities on this tour. A diverse range of foods and wines to sample offering a very pleasant introduction to local eating and drinking habits.

An amazing trip around the north west coast of the Island. Noum was very interesting, being able to speak both Portuguese and English whilst driving up and down those roads was incredible! We made a group consensus not to stop at the first stop as it was too foggy but to do it on the return journey. The next village after that was lovely as was the lunch stop - enjoyed the lido and the waterfall after. The stop after was beautiful although I think 25 was perhaps a little too long?? Return journey was good and stopped at the first stop! All in all a great day out for the family. Would recommend

Great relaxed tour with beautiful viewpoints with a Balcoes walk and stunning views at Pico Areeiro. Sebastian, our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informative, drove safely, catered for our group needs (8 of us) and did the tour at a relaxed rather than rushed pace. Only improvement would be longer time at Pico Areeiro as that was the highlight. Highly recommend this tour.

This experience was easy and coordinated from start to finish. Elisabeth provided clear and constant communication. She even provided different options when the tour we selected was sold out by the national park. Ciro (our driver) was a sweet man who was on time, clear in his instructions, and on time through the entire experience. Will be taking friends on this tour when we return.

Loved everything about this experience! Our guide Luis was amazing, super fun, knowledgeable and you could tell he wanted us to have the best experience. The 4x4 jeep tour was a great way to see the island and ending at an amazingly beautiful winery with amazing wine was a great way to spend an afternoon! Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic day out with Monica. Visited three different places for wine tasting. Had two short “unofficial” stops in between to take in the beautiful scenery. Lovely, comfy car which seated 7 plus Monica who drove and explained things on the way. Plenty of food and wine for lunch with amazing views over the vineyard. Was a lovely day out which we really enjoyed.

Fab little tour of a gorgeous part of the island. Worth it for the views at the first stop alone. We also stopped at a lovely little cafe at the second stop and indulged in some chestnut treats, including cake and liqueur. Our guide was very friendly and informative. All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon.

This is a must-do for any wine lover visiting the island! Manuel was our guide and absolutely wonderful! He got to our hotel early to pick us up and shared great knowledge about the area with us on the drive. We stopped in a cute fishing town to see Winston Churchill’s church and then at the highest cliff for some beautiful pictures of the island - both stops were well worth it! Then we headed to Barbusana for a quick vineyard tour (it was cold and muddy) with a small group before joining the host inside for the tasting. We had 3 reds, 1 rose, and 2 reds (all were delicious!) alongside a small meat and cheese tray. The host at the vineyard was incredibly knowledgeable on the vineyard and how they grow grapes in Portugal and it was great to learn from her. The highlight of the trip was Manuel - he was so fun and knowledgable. We would definitely book another trip with him when back in the area. Tips: bring 3 euros per person to visit the cliff and comfy shoes (that you don’t mind if they get dirty).
