Gastronomy and wine are at the heart of Madeira Island. This Food & Wine Walking Tour invites you to discover the flavors of Funchal through the eyes of a local, on a route designed to reveal authentic Madeiran culture.
Throughout nine carefully selected stops, traditional venues and contemporary spots frequented by residents are combined to provide a genuine and diverse experience.
The tour begins in downtown Funchal with a Madeira wine tasting at a historic producer, celebrating a tradition that spans more than five centuries. Next, enjoy “Carne de vinha d’alhos,” a traditional regional dish, paired with the local Coral beer.
