Did you know the island produces its own wine? Madeira Wine is produced in a variety of styles ranging from dry wines which can be consumed on their own to sweet wines usually consumed with dessert. We start with the first winery located in Funchal and we proceed to second with a tasting wine tour, very close to the first. After the tasting we move to our vineyards above Câmara de Lobos, where we have the option to visit a third winery if you would like.

In the Private Tour we are going to use a gray Citroen C4, with 5 seats or Toyota Avensis Verso with 7 seats or Volkswagen Transporter with 9 seats. You can request any of them, if available. All are very comfortable. If you want a better car, I'm able to get a larger passenger van for groups above five people. Just contact me for details and a quote.
