Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle

Overview

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.

2. This tour will take you to Madeira's most beautiful vineyards in São Vicente, Northwest of Madeira. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes where cliffs, mountains, forest, and cultivated terraces melt harmoniously. This is a perfect symbiosis between culture and nature. Regardless of the amazing scenery, we will visit producers on the south and north side of the island and try the most relevant types of wine. From the worldwide famous fortified Madeira Wine to table wines and homemade using traditional grape varietals and processes. For lunch break, we can have a snack or a typical meal in a non-touristy restaurant. Because these are unique tours, customized to each guest, other stops and options with more surprises will be suggested to add to your tour. Please bring a fully charged camera, the diversity in terms of the landscape it's simply mindblowing, and with a panoramic roof, anytime can be a photo time.

3. São Vicente, on Madeira’s north coast, is a place of dramatic beauty. Towering cliffs plunge into the Atlantic, while green terraces and vineyards climb the hillsides, creating a striking contrast between land and sea. This unique landscape not only offers breathtaking views but also reflects centuries of tradition, where locals shaped the steep slopes to grow vines and sustain their way of life.
