About this experience
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.

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.

This was a tour of the island, not only of the wineries, but also of the history.
The tour was very flexible and tailored to exactly what I enjoyed seeing.

The highlight of our trip!
Our wine tour with Val in Madeira during our honeymoon was a highlight of our trip. He took us to two wineries, one for table wines and one for fortified wines, and made the whole day feel relaxed and easy. He’s from Madeira and knows the island really well, from its history and agriculture to the smaller villages around it. He answered all our questions and shared a lot of interesting context along the way. We also drove through a few villages on the north side of the island, which we really enjoyed seeing. He even offered to take us hiking the next day on his day off, which was incredibly kind. Pickup and drop off at our hotel made everything seamless, and we’d definitely recommend him. Will absolutely be reaching out again when we’re back. Thanks, Val!

The full Madeiran Experience!
What a great experience. Madeira is an attractive and rugged place. Definitely a place to visit. And if you do visit, Val is definitely the guide you want to book to explore the place and book this tour if you are into wine, especially Madeira. We got to try table wines and, what the island is famous for, Madeira. Val knows his wines and as well as the history of Madeira, he is a native after all. What was also great was lunch, Val took us to a place that does not get any of the bus loads of tourists from a cruise.. Can't recommend this tour enough! Good value as well.

Great guide for private Madeira experience
Vald was great. Just my wife and me. Opened our eyes to all that Madeira has to offer explorers, and has made us consider coming back for another visit. Learned so much about Madeira, tasted some wonderful wines, had a very nice lunch, and saw much beauty. No question went unanswered. Helped us plan the rest of our Madeira week. Highly recommended, worth every Euro.

Best tour we've done!
Our private winery and island tour in Madeira with Val was hands down the BEST private tour we have ever done! it’s going to be very hard for anything to top it. From the moment he picked us up in his vintage Rover, we knew the day was going to be special. Val took us all across the island, weaving through stunning landscapes and bringing us to so many off-the-beaten-path places we never would have discovered on our own. What made it even more meaningful was that he is a *true local—born and raised in Madeira*—and his passion for the island shines through in every story he shares. The depth of history and personal insight he provided made us feel like we were experiencing Madeira through the eyes of a friend, not just a guide. His knowledge of Madeira wine was absolutely incredible. Visiting multiple wineries with him elevated the entire experience—he explained the wines, terroir, and production in such an approachable and fascinating way that we walked away with a completely new appreciation for Madeira wines. It felt intimate and personalized, not like a typical tasting. One of our favorite parts of the day was sharing a meal with him at a local restaurant—it added such an authentic and relaxed feel to the experience. He truly customized the entire day around what we wanted most, including taking us to see a beautiful levada and giving us thoughtful recommendations on the best ones to hike (which was one of our main reasons for visiting Madeira). By the end of the day, it genuinely felt like we had made a new friend. Val went above and beyond in every way, and his passion, knowledge, and kindness made this an unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting Madeira, this is an absolute must. We will 100% be booking with him again the next time we return!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 50 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 Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle?
+
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 Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle?
+
Around 18 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madeira Island Private Wine Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle 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.
