Wine tour and tasting - This was a small group tour but actually there were just me and my husband with our guide, Suzanna. What a brilliant day. Suzanna shared a wealth of island history and knowledge of the areas. We visited less touristy places including Faja dos Padres and a breathtaking cable car ride to the beach area here. It is a short walk through a banana plantation to a cafe/bar to enjoy a drink by the sea. We also had the chance to visit Seixal before arriving at the vineyard. The tour was informative and interesting and we sampled three white, one rose and two red wines, selecting our favourite to enjoy with our lunch. The tastings were paired with cheese, cured meats and crostados. Lunch was beef espanadas cooked to our preference served with potatoes, salad and garlic bread. Hearty portions to say the least. This was finished with a homemade passionfruit dessert, served with Madeira wine and finally espresso. It was a leisurely lunch, not at all rushed. Then our final stop was to sample Madeira wine (4 from dry to sweet). A full day providing excellent value for money with an experienced guide who was happy to share her knowledge with us. Thank you, Suzanna!

Great tour with exceptional guide, nice wines and tasty food - The tour we had was really exceptional. Our guide did a great Job in explaining a lot about the local history of wine, fruit and rum production and trade. The visit of different view points and the vinery was very interesting and beautiful. The wine tastings at the vinery abd Madeira wine production where very tasty and fun.
We had booked the half day tour first where there where some inconveniences due to timing. But we got compensated with a discounted full day Tour which was really fair and uncomplicated in organizing. The service was really quick to respond to our complaint and did a great job in organizing the alternative tour for us which more than made up for the problems with our first booking.
We totally recommend booking the vineyard tour here.

Truly amazing day tour - A truly amazing tour of Madeira, with a gondola, viewpoints and vineyards, made extra fun by the guide Susanna! Susanna is knowledgeable, outgoing, a good storyteller and very friendly. The guide on the vineyard is excellent and we learned quite a bit about Madeiran wines. The lunch was also authentic and traditional. Highly recommended, 5 stars for Susanna ⭐️

Perfect day out! - Susanna you amazing person. Thank you so much for a lovely day.
Susanna was my tour guide for the day. So friendly and knowledgeable. It ended up being a private tour as 6 people canceled the morning of. I was so lucky!!
What a magical well thought out tour. Adventure and site seeing in the morning. Then wineries, lunch and tastings in the afternoon. I can not recommend this tour enough.
I had so many wow moments in the morning. The nature and scenery was something I have not experienced before. Just beautiful!
The winery was stunning. The tastings were a great size, 5 tastings before lunch. The lunch was very tasty and there was plenty of food. You get to drink more wine with lunch and they even offer you more food if you’re still hungry.
Yes this tour is expensive but you get to see so much in the morning and then try so much wine and good food in the afternoon.
I highly recommend this tour.
Lovely day out!

Best way to spend a day in Madeira - My parents, brother, and me were traveling together in Madeira and were looking for a winery day trip. This experience far exceeded expectations. We were picked up by our guide, Susana, in a private, air conditioned van right on time from our apartment rental. Susana shared so much knowledge with us and you could tell that she really cared about her job. She brought us to multiple spots for beautiful views of the island and when there was a slight delay getting the cable car to Faja dos Padres, she called the winery to move our reservation back 30 minutes so we wouldn't be rushed. We then had an incredible experience at Quinta do Barbusano where we had a tour of the facilities by Gina then an outstanding lunch and wine tasting. The owner Antonio, Gina, and the rest of the staff were so passionate about their work and they made sure that we enjoyed our stay. The food and wine portions were huge and the views were spectacular. Overall, this tour was a highlight of our trip and a great value for the money. Susana truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day. Don't hesitate -- book this tour while in Madeira!

Highlight of our trip to Madeira - We had a great day out on this small group wine tour of Madeira. Our driver and tour guide, Susana, was very knowledgeable and full of amusing anecdotes and funny stories. We stopped at some stunning places with some of the most incredible views we had seen across our entire time on Madeira. We thoroughly enjoyed the local table wine during our vineyard visit, as well as the delicious meal which was cooked by António, the winery owner himself. The meal was very generous with offers of second and thirds servings and wine re-fills! We finished with a Madeira tasting at the well-known Henriques & Henriques cellar. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madeira.
