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.

Half Day Wine Tout - Susanna our guide was excellent and the actual wine tour and tasting was brilliant due to the lady who took us through the various wines produced at the winery. Susanna made sure we had an excellent tour even although the weather took a turn for the worse. She took us to another location for a tour of a Madeira winery with a tasting session. When we return to Madeira and if we wanted to do another tour we would specifically ask for Susanna. Great half day tour.

Suzanne was the best - This tour was the best way to start our trip in Madeira. Susanne was an excellent guide showing us around the west side of the island. She shared a lot of information about the agriculture on the island and how it affects their daily life and their history. The highlight was definitely the winery. Not only were the views unlike anything else the wines were delicious. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island. We truly appreciated the tour by winery staff; and Suzanne for being so helpful and kind and informational.

Highly recommend - This half day wine tour was a great experience. We were picked up from our Airbnb and then driven to a vineyard and a couple attractions. The vineyard was absolutely gorgeous and we tasted some great local wines (not the fortified Madeira wines).

Okay but not great - The meeting place is a little bit hard to find if you’re coming off of a cruise ship it, I think they need to do a better job giving that the information. The group size was really good. After we did the wine tasting, everybody was very talkative and friendly. Not a surprise. This is not a sweet Madeira fortified wine that we would typically expect. It was a winery, that’s trying to make it in the regular wine business. White wines were not very good. The red ones were a bit better. They give you a meager snack, and yet a lot of wine. They might be a bit more generous with the snack. One thing to note is that you tour the actual Vineyard, which means walking down uneven rocky paths that might be muddy if it’s raining like when we went. Limitations, you might want to skip the tour part or rethink this activity. The driver didn’t say much, we thought perhaps his English was limited. It would be nice if you would get some narration about the island considering he spent quite a bit of time driving you around. The other two stops are pretty short, only about 20 minutes, so you don’t have a lot of time at the Lookout or at the fishing village. Overall, it was OK but I think they could make this better.

We had to pay all... - We had to pay all upfront, were unable to go and got zero refund! I’d understand if a deposit had to be forfeited.
