Indulge in Madeira’s finest flavours on a small-group wine and food tour in Funchal, combining signature cuisine, top local restaurants, and expertly curated wine pairings.

A Premium Culinary Journey in Funchal

This experience goes beyond a traditional food tour — it is a curated gastronomic journey through the finest restaurants in Funchal.

Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore a carefully selected route of three high-quality venues, each chosen for its authenticity, creativity, and connection to Madeira’s culinary identity.

From refined interpretations of traditional recipes to bold contemporary creations, every stop reveals a new perspective on Madeiran gastronomy.


Wine, Dine & Indulge — A Curated Experience

At each restaurant, you’ll enjoy a sequence of dishes designed to showcase the richness of local ingredients and the creativity of modern chefs.

Expect a progression of flavours that may include:
 • Creative starters inspired by local traditions
 • Fresh fish dishes such as tuna or black scabbardfish
 • Premium meat dishes like traditional espetada with modern twists
 • Signature desserts paired with Madeira wine

Each course is paired with carefully selected Portuguese wines — including both Madeira and mainland wines — transforming every tasting into a balanced and memorable experience.

Here, wine is not just an accompaniment — it is an essential part of the journey.


A Refined Social & Cultural Experience

This premium tour is designed for those who appreciate detail, quality, and atmosphere.

Beyond the food itself, you’ll gain insight into Madeira’s culinary evolution, from traditional roots to contemporary gastronomy. Your guide will share stories, cultural context, and recommendations that deepen your understanding of the island.

With small groups and a relaxed pace, the experience offers a more intimate and sophisticated way to discover Funchal.
