Quick Details
Here you breathe Madeira Wine!
Our winery was founded in 1877 by Henrique Menezes Borges, who devoted his entire life to searching for a selection of wines produced on the Island of Madeira, for ageing wine. It is currently managed by the fourth generation of his family.
The company’s premises are located in the centre of Funchal, in a centenary building, built on a plot with approximately 1,600M2 and it has been in activity since 1924.
Due to the growing demand and the high level of product awareness in an increasingly demanding market, the company has adopted a new strategy, which resulted in the product’s image make-over as well as a new corporate image. The increase in sales to all countries, confirms and supports this contemporary attitude reflected in the new image and sustained in the quality of the MADEIRA WINE.

Reviews
We booked a tour and wine tasting and it was an amazing experience, this is one of the oldest working madeira winery on the island. Our tour guide was very informative and explained the whole process, and we even got to meet the winemaker! :) The tasting part was exciting too, we bought the "middle" package with 3 types of wine, and this package already offered a nice spectrum of wines (but in case you are in the mood for more, there is even a more extensive package with 6 wines). Absolutely recommend!
Great experience! The hostess suggested a pairing for my wife and I that didn’t break the bank. All of the wines were great. Lovely pressure-free experience in a nice traditional setting.
One of the oldest and most traditional Madeira production companies on the island. Conveniently located in the city of Funchal, so accessible by walking if you're staying central. A good introduction to traditional Madeira production.
Popped in the day before to book a tour and tasting. We booked the Gold tasting session - 5 year, 15 year, and a limited edition. There were 3 of us, so one had the dry, one the medium dry, and the other the medium sweet (and had to forego the sweet), and then we shared glasses to sample each one.
