I am one of the lucky ones doing what I love for a living, and you will feel that passion in every moment of our tour. Over the years, I have been discovering this island — its hidden corners, people, stories, and history — which we’ll enjoy between stops. Wine is just the cherry on top as we visit regions across north and south Madeira. This is not a typical crowded wine tour. We avoid the busiest times and areas, and between tastings, there are many surprises. Some stops may be shortened, extended, or replaced if you’ve already visited them. Pickup times are flexible, arranged with the guide. Important: The tour runs Tuesday to Friday; on Mondays, weekends, and public holidays, some vineyards and cellars are closed.
