Excellent wine tasting trip
It is posted as half day, buy be prepared for longer. We were collected from our hotel at 09.00, by our driver, the lovely Ruben. We collected our fellow imbibers and set off for the vineyard at the North of the island. A lovely guide (Sheena?) greeted us & we walked though the terraced vines, stopping for information en route. Then, back to the lovely hall for the all-important tasting. We were presented with 6 wines: 3 whites, 1 rose & 2 reds. All good, then we were left to chat and finish the bottles! On the way back, we stopped at a viewing platform, then a fishing village. Getting dropped at our hotel at 14.45. An excellent trip and brilliant value.

Overpriced and disappointing
The guide was nice but the tour was extremely overpriced and definitely not worth the money. Limited information is given prior to the tour. Wine tasting was short.

Excellent tour, look no further
If you want to explore Madeira at your own pace look no further. We had excellent 3 days exploring Madeira with Richard from Pearl of Atlantic! We booked Wine Tour, Funchal / History Tour and Gardens Tour, as well as Santana and Levedas tour. This is the best company to help you to enjoy the history, nature and unique character of the island. Richard is excellent guide – easy going and relaxed, knowledgeable and great sense of humour. He is keen to show you a bit more than a standard tour, taking to interesting places, excellent view points and hidden gems. I have a bit of vertigo, so he made sure we didn’t go to any places where I might feel uncomfortable, choosing the roads and stopping points carefully and thoughtfully. He truly looks after you and makes sure you have the best experience possible. Nothing is too much to ask. Excellent 3 days exploring Madeira with Richard from Pearl of Atlantic! Thoroughly recommended!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $189 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: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 27 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: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour?
+
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: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madeira: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour?
+
Around 9 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madeira: Private Half-Day Wine Tasting Tour 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.
