The Best of Madeira! - This was the best tour of our holiday in Madeira! Our driver was great, punctual and picked us up at our villa in Canico. He was very chatty and informative about Madeira in general and had great information about the area we visited for the tour. Vanda our guide for the wine tour was amazing! We learned such a lot about the processing of the wines and the different varieties. Then the tasting! Generous ...we tasted 6 wines and then were able to continue to have a drink after the tour. The scenery around the vineyard is to be seen to be believed.
This tour is very good and we would do it again for the experience.

A really nice wine tasting location - A really good excursion. Our driver Manuel, a very pleasant gentleman picked us up from our hotel. He was very informative, giving us insight into the Island history and features that have developed over the years. The wine tour was superb. There were only 4 of us on the tour( morning is best, quieter), 2 other people had cancelled. Gina our guide was very good. She took time to explain all about the vineyard, it's history and how each wine is created. We had a little tapas and 6 wines to taste, from young whites through rose to reds. At the end the other couple had to leave for another tour so we were left to finish 6 bottles of wine. 🤣
Of course we only managed 1/2 bottle of the red we liked.
The setting was so beautiful and peaceful.
Highly recommend.

Excellent Half Day Tour - We highly recommend this half day tour. Information received beforehand was helpful. We were picked up on time by Ruben who was excellent. Just the right balance of information and his driving skills made us feel safe on some steep narrow roads! The wine tour after the lookout visit was fascinating. We weren’t rushed and there was no pressure to purchase, although we did as the wines were lovely. A great day. Thanks again Ruben.

Perfect day - This was on me the best experiences! Starting at the fisherman’s village, headed to a breathtaking vineyard for a tour & delicious wine. We could have stayed there all day, it was just perfect! Amazing views from the final stop at the skywalk.

Great day out - Can’t recommend this tour enough. Suzanna made the trip so fun, knowledgable and informative. She even had a spare coat for me as it gets a little chilly in the mountains! We had a great time, the wine tour was great and Vanda our guide was fab and unlimited wine! We bought some bottles and they were very reasonably priced (10-15€), the village and glass platform were great too. Thank you so much!

Perfect day - One of the best excursions I’ve ever done. Ruben picked us up from the hotel with a lovely bunch of 8 people, was very knowledgeable about the area and was just a great guy to chat to. Drove us up to the beautiful vineyard where we learned so much about the wine making process and finished with a very generous tasting session. Made some stops on the way back to take photos of the beautiful island. Loved this tour!

Brilliant wine tasting trip - We were collected promptly from our hotel, gathered the rest of our small group and headed north to the vineyard. Our driver Ruben was excellent at explaining what tge day held and was a superb driver (very important given the state & size of the roads!).
The people at the vineyard were delightful. I have visited vineyards elsewhere, but Portugal grows their vines differently, so the tour was really interesting.
We headed back to taste. Six wined, 3 whites, one rose & two reds. All lovely. After the tasting, the bottles were left for us to finish.
Absolutely brilliant value for money. I had bought this as a thank you for my friends hosting me and they loved it to and are already planning to take more of their guests.

Lovely Day 🍷 - We had a beautiful day. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area & the wines and she was a great driver. The vineyard was beautiful and there wasn't one wine we didn't love! The only suggestion is to make the tour 30 min or 1 hour longer. We felt a little rushed.
