Great guide full of stories of the island, tasted various table and fortified Madeira wines, definitely got our monies worth! (hiccup!). Had the biggest and tastiest beef skewers i've ever seen. Got to see a large part of the island. All in all, a fantastic trip and would definitely recommend.

This tour was fantastic. We learned about the wine process here in Madeira and had an awesome guide, Roberto. If you get the chance to take the tour with Roberto, we would highly recommend. He is very personable and funny. He seems to really enjoy showing us around and gives great information along the way. The second winery we visited was one of the most beautiful views we have seen ever. The winery is carved into the side of a mountain with sweeping views of vineyards and the ocean in the distance. Others in the group had just come from Tuscany and mentioned that Tuscany didn’t even come close to the beauty of this location. The traditional Madeira lunch was also great. Overall, this was a perfect day to enjoy beautiful views and great wines. It was particularly nice to taste several Madeira wines and Madeira table wines. We highly recommend.

Really joyful, informative and simply a great way to discover Madeira wines. We had such a wonderful day, from the first testing until the end of the tour. Thank to our guide Roberto, our driver and all the amazing wineries. It was the perfect day.

Enjoyed the tour. It was a nice way to spend a day. However, the group size was too large. The Tripadvisor listing indicated a maximum of 12 but there were 17 on the tour. It was very cramped at the back of the vehicle for those who boarded last.

A wine tasting experience with a difference. Our enthusiastic tour leader, Sofia, was knowledgeable and inspiring as she led us around the island’s wineries. The scenery was a spectacular backdrop to the many tastings of delicious wines. The lunch was memorable for the great quantity and quality of food, necessary to soak up the generous amounts of wine. We look forward to sampling more wines from Madeira.

A very pleasant tour with tasteful local food and wine, where we also got to see a lot of Madeira, together with our very pleasant and knowledgeable guide Graça, who made the experience even better. The weather was perhaps a bit on the windy side, but that's not something we can blame the guide for. Overall, a great day and we can recommend it to others who want to try it out.

The Full Day Wine Tour by Wine Tours of Madeira is truly a great way to spend a day on the island of Madeira. Sophia gave us a great introduction to the wine industry on the island. We visited two Madeira Houses and two wineries thus ensuring a nice sampling of what the island has to offer. Sophia was well known and liked at each stop, thus ensuring we got the very best experience. She was born on the island and had a wealth of knowledge about plants, geography and history. In summary, a great way to see what is happening in the wine industry while getting a good overview of the island!

Great trip with Sofia , a very knowledgeable guide. It was a great day and we visited many locations on the island Highly recommend this tour

Sofia describes herself as a Storyteller, rather than a guide, and we totally concur - she was born on Madeira and was a font of knowledge about the island, Funchal, history &, of course, wine. There was only 4 of us on this tour& fortunately the other couple were great company. All of the individual guides at the 4 stops were excellent - entertaining, informative & friendly. It covered both Madeira wine & table wine. We were picked up from our hotel promptly at 9am; the 1st stop at Blandy's was in their beautiful building that was once a monastery; we enjoyed the history of the Blandy generations & the dry & sweet tastings. Next, we drove through the island on the old roads, as opposed to the dual carriageway that rings the island, so much more interesting. We stopped at a vineyard with spectacular views, had the tour of the vineyard, then a tasting of 6 wines, then lunch, which was Espetada - traditional cubes of steak cooked on a woodfire, and very tasty. Next tasting was at Seixal, affording us spectacular views of this part of the island. Final stop was at Barbeito, a more modern vineyard specialising in Madeira wine, very different to Blandy's. Tried the medium sweet & medium dry, which we bought! Dropped back at our hotel around 5pm. Cannot recommend this tour more highly - a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Thank you, Sofia

Sofia was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and en route was a font of knowledge both about the wines and about the island of Madeira. Venues were carefully selected and the tours were all good. It was a fabulous day learning about Madeira wine and the wines of Madeira and tasting so many of them. The lunch was simple but excellent.
