What you can expect

1. Local Beer:
Start off at a local tavern, where you’ll get the chance to taste our local beer. Coral is a ‘lager’ type beer, produced from the best malts and hops, fermented and matured at low temperatures.

2. White Still Madeiran Wine
Savour some local white wine paired with black scabbard fish snacks prepared in three styles: onion sauce, escabeche, and passion fruit. The fresh and varied flavors complemented each other perfectly, providing an authentic and delicious experience.

3. Ginjinha:
Taste the iconic Ginja, also known as ginjinha in a edible chocolate cup. Ginjinha is a Portuguese liqueur made from sour cherries (ginjas), alcohol, sugar, and other ingredients.

4. Madeira Wine:
Get ready to taste some Madeira Wine! A Madeira wine tasting is always a delightful experience that allows you to explore the unique and diverse flavors of Madeira wine, a fortified wine produced in Madeira. Madeira wine is known for its longevity, complexity, and versatility, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.

5. Nikita:
Next, you’ll experience the famous Nikita cocktail. Nikita is a refreshing blend of beer, ice cream, and tropical fruits. It’s a must-try when in Madeira. Enjoy the creamy and sweet flavours of this unique cocktail in a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

6. Poncha & Workshop
Conclude your bar hopping tour in a perfect setting while enjoying the traditional Poncha. Participate in a Poncha workshop to learn how to make this iconic Madeiran drink, and take the experience back home with you!

What our customers say about us

Funchal Food tour

Excellent and knowledgeable guide. Visited a variety of places and tasted some delicious food including lunch at a restaurant. Would definitely recommend but don’t have breakfast before you go!!

3 in 1 tour. storytelling – discover Funchal – wine and food tasting

This tour offers something for everyone. During the route we stopped at nice venues for tasting traditional drinks and dishes and we got a good impression of the city of Funchal. Take a light breakfast because at the end of the tour you have enjoyed more than a full lunch. I would recommend it to all travelers to Madeira.

Fantastic food & wine tour.

The pace was easy going and we visited places we would otherwise have walked past. We avoided overtly tourist venues & busy main streets too. The beers, wines & foods were all excellent.
Highly recommended tour.
