    A Madeira holiday highlight

    What an absolutely brilliant day! Communication with Iara was superb, and she managed to amend the tour to a private one, bespoke for our group. She also arranged pick-up from Calheta for a nominal additional fee. Our guide, Pedro, fitted right in with our vibe. He happily chatted with us, regardless of age or interests. He was knowledgeable about both the island and the three wineries we visited. He drove with care and at a comfortable speed on the bendy, narrow mountain roads in the north. The scenery was outstanding. Blakey’s tasting was polished and a great start. Lunch at Barbusano was generous and well cooked. All the hosts and guides spoke excellent English. A ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ day out!

    Great winery tour of Madeira

    I did this winery tour solo and had an amazing time. It ended up being a very small group. We went to three wineries in different areas with vista stops along the way. Our lunch meal was delicious. Our guide Monica was also wonderful. She shared lots of interesting information about the history of Madeira.

    Excellent and informative day out

    Excellent day with guide Monica. Visiting 3 wineries, tasting 12 wines and a fantastic lunch. Add Monica's home grown and heart-felt explanations of sights along the way.

    Great wine tour

    We had a fantastic day out with our amazing guide, Monica! She was so full of enthusiasm and knowledge! Not only did we get a great wine tour but also got a tour of Madeira. I would highly recommend!

    A great day out!

    Had a fantastic day out with Monica. Visited three different places for wine tasting. Had two short “unofficial” stops in between to take in the beautiful scenery. Lovely, comfy car which seated 7 plus Monica who drove and explained things on the way. Plenty of food and wine for lunch with amazing views over the vineyard. Was a lovely day out which we really enjoyed.

    Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $248 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 186 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch?

    +

    Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Funchal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Funchal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Funchal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
